Page 21: Extremeware Enterprise Manager Overview
Today’s corporate networks commonly encompass hundreds or thousands of systems, including individual end user systems, servers, network devices such as printers, and ™ internetworking systems. Extreme Networks recognizes that network managers have ™ different needs, and delivers a suite of ExtremeWare management tools to meet those needs.
Page 22: Summary Of Features
You can set VLAN configuration and policy-based Quality of Service policies across the network. Centralized and distributed stacks of Summit switches can be managed as aggregated entities. Extreme Networks switches and selected Cisco devices can be monitored and controlled from a central web-based interface, without exiting ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager to run a separate program or telnet session.
Page 23: Enterprise-Wide Vlan Management
UMMARY OF EATURES The ExtremeView applet displays detailed information about the status of Extreme switches (Summit and Black Diamond switches) in a number of categories. Any Enterprise Manager user can view status information about these network devices known to the Enterprise Manager. Users with the appropriate access permissions can also view and modify configuration information for those switches using either the ExtremeWare Vista graphical user interface, or through Telnet and the ExtremeWare Command Line Interface (CLI).
Page 24: Policy-Based Quality Of Service
XTREME NTERPRISE ANAGER VERVIEW OLICY BASED UALITY OF ERVICE Policy-based management is used to protect and guarantee delivery of mission-critical traffic. A network policy is a set of high-level rules for controlling the priority of, and amount of bandwidth available to, various types of network traffic. Leveraging ExtremeWare 5.0’s Policy-Based Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager Policy System offers a powerful set of easy-to-use policy management tools that meet the application-specific needs of today’s networks.
Page 25: Real-Time Statistics
MAC/IP A DDRESS INDER The IP/MAC Address Finder applet lets you search for network addresses (MAC or IP addresses) and identify the Extreme Networks switch and port on which the address resides. ECURITY ANAGEMENT In order to access the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager features, a user must log in with a user name and a password.
Page 26 • Administrator—users who can modify device parameters as well as view status information and statistics. These permissions enable access to Extreme Networks switches through Telnet or ExtremeWare Vista. The use of the RADIUS server avoids the need to maintain user names, passwords, and access permissions in each switch, and instead centralizes the configuration in one location in the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager.
Page 27: Extremeware Enterprise Manager Components
XTREME NTERPRISE ANAGER OMPONENTS Figure 1-1: ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager software architecture XTREME ETWORKS WITCH ANAGEMENT ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager uses SNMP to monitor and manage the Extreme switches in the network. To avoid the overhead of frequent device polling, the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager uses a mechanism called SmartTraps to identify changes in device status and configuration.

ANAGING IRTUAL HASSIS TACKS REATING A IRTUAL HASSIS TACK You must have Administrator or Manager access to create a Virtual Chassis stack. Creating a Virtual Chassis stack creates a stack representation in the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager database. It does not change the physical stack configuration or the actual member switch configurations.
