Network Management System Requirements

Network Management System Requirements

To manage a network of LightStream 2020 multiservice ATM switches (LS2020 switches), you must run the StreamView network management software on a network management system (NMS). The NMS must be a member of the Sun SPARCstation family of workstations.This combination of software and hardware provides the means for configuring, monitoring, and controlling LS2020 switches throughout your network.


Note You can run StreamView on the NMS either with or without HP OpenView. However, some StreamView modules, such as the LS-Topology Map (which generates a graphical representation of your network), require HP OpenView.

NMS Hardware Requirements

The hardware requirements for the NMS are listed below:


Note If you are not running HP OpenView, 24 MB of memory may suffice.

Note You will need additional disk space to accommodate Motif, X Windows, HP OpenView, or any other software that you choose to install on the NMS.

NMS Software Requirements

The following software must be installed on the NMS hard disk:


Note The operating system required for LS2020 network management functions is not the default software currently being shipped with new Sun SPARCstations. In order to use StreamView on the NMS, you must specifically ask for the SunOS 4.1.x/Solaris 1.1.x operating system to be installed on the NMS hard disk.

In addition, you have the option of running HP OpenView on the NMS in conjunction with StreamView, in which case, the following HP software version information applies:

If you intend to use the StreamView LS-Topology Map, HP OpenView is required.

For more information about HP OpenView operating requirements, see the HP OpenView Management Platform Performance and Configuration Guide.
