What Is A Network Map - Avaya Network Management Console User Manual

Chapter 1
When a device in the Network Tree is selected, information about the
selected device appears in the Network Table. You can then modify the
device's parameters. Avaya Network Management Console also provides
the ability to launch applications that communicate directly with the
device. These applications allow you to manage the device via its
Command Line Interface (CLI) or Device Manager, and monitor the
traffic on the device. For example, if you select an Avaya P330 Device in
the Network Table, you can launch Telnet to configure the device via its
CLI or launch Avaya P330 Device Manager to configure and monitor the
device via its management application and monitor the device using
Avaya P330 SMON Manager.
In addition, Avaya Network Management Console allows you to launch
network-wide applications such as, Avaya Software Update Manager for
updating embedded software, Avaya VLAN Manager for managing
VLANs across the entire network, and Avaya SMON Manager for
monitoring network traffic.

What is a Network Map

A Network Map consists of all of the devices known to Avaya Network
Management Server. The list of devices is stored in the Network File,
along with basic information about each device. When Avaya Network
Management Console opens, Avaya Network Management Server
extracts information about the devices in the Network Map from the
Network File. These devices are displayed in the Network Tree.
