User-Defined Security
With the NetSight Directory Server you can set up security rules governing how applications are used on the
network on a per-user basis. You can give read or read/write access to any user you set up in the directory.
For example, Joe Smith can be set to have read access to the Switch Manager application, while Jane Doe has
read/write access.
Simplified Discovery
Using Discovery Protocol, all Enterasys switches that are connected together in a switch fabric can be
discovered using one IP address of a switch. Also an IP range discovery can be used to discover third-party
vendor switches in the switch fabric.
At-a-Glance Topology View
The Topology Map application graphically represents the devices and connections in the switch fabric. This
allows the administrator to see how switches are connected into the fabric, and monitor the status of the
devices and connections. Searches can also be performed by IP address or name.
802.1Q Support for Extended Control
Multivendor support is provided through the IEFT 802.1Q bridge MIB, and 802.1Q 2674 for VLAN and
priority control. The NetSight Switch/Topology Manager supports other vendors’ switches and provides
egress list, ingress list, GARP protocol, VLAN and priority support features.
Broadcast Control Saves Bandwidth
VLAN broadcast control restricts broadcast traffic. Broadcasts will not be flooded to ports that do not belong
to the VLAN. Only the ports on the broadcasted VLAN will receive the broadcast, greatly conserving
available bandwidth on the network.
Exclusive Global Settings Save Time
The Global Configuration Wizards distinguish the NetSight Switch/Topology Manager from other vendors’
management solutions. The easy-to-use wizards let you set up multiple switches from one view, without
configuring each switch individually. To configure a global setting, simply select an item from the menu, enter
any required parameters and select applicable switches and/or ports.
End-User Support
End-user support is provided on switches that supply the protocol, user address and MAC address to the
NetSight Switch/Topology Manager. This information is stored in the directory server so the administrator
can locate a user by switch and port using the Find and Global Find features. NetSight Switch/Topology
Manager also provides the ability to manually add or remove end systems and aliases on a port. This is useful
for silent printers or other network resources that do not broadcast on the network.
Discard VLAN
Discard VLAN provides the ability to set protocols or applications that the user does not want to see on their
network to a Discard VLAN. For example, if there is no AppleTalk protocol on a network, an administrator
can create a discard VLAN that puts all the AppleTalk traffic into the Discard VLAN, and no AppleTalk traffic
will be sent/received on this port.
