Annex Manager R3.0 Release Notes
A
nnex Manager is an SNMP-based management application that uses
the X Windows/Motif graphical user interface. Annex Manager is
specifically designed to manage Bay Networks Remote Access Servers,
and is not intended as a general purpose network manager. While Annex
Manager can detect SNMP devices that are not Annexes, you can not use
it to configure a non-Annex device. Annex Manager R3.0 runs on a
workstation platform running BSD Unix (SUN Sparc, HP, RS/6000). The
user interface is built to the X Windows/Motif standard. Annex Manager
is designed to run stand-alone and contains all the necessary SNMP
protocol routines and X Windows/Motif binary libraries. The installation
process copies the appropriate binary executable and all associated help
and data files from the distribution media onto the workstation's disk
store. Annex Manager can be loosely coupled with several standard
network management products such as SunNet Manager, HP/Openview,
or Netview for IBM AIX. Annex Manager does not use the API interfaces
provided by those products.
Why Use Annex Manager?
Annex Manager allows a system administrator to monitor and configure
Annexes in a network. Annex Manager is a host based, window oriented,
configuration and management application. The displays and user
interface conform to the X Windows/Motif standard. Annex Manager
works best with a color monitor directly attached to a workstation or a
color X Windows terminal connected to a networked UNIX host. In
addition, it supports a grey-scale X Windows terminal attached to a
workstation.
Annex Manager's configuration tool is easy to learn and use. It supports
the functionality of the older host-based NA configuration tool in an easier
to use format. Annex Manager is specifically designed to configure and
manage Annex products. Its features depend on the proprietary MIB
defined for the Annex and on the various standard MIBs supported by the
Annex. Therefore, Annex Manager cannot manage other SNMP
