IBM LAN Network Manager can also communicate with the IBM NetView
host-based network management product. This enables a NetView administrator
to gain access to certain operating capabilities of the IBM LAN Network Manager
application.
IBM LAN Network Manager provides facilities for managing the media and
adapters within a LAN, and for managing source routing bridges that interconnect
LAN segments.
When using an IBM LAN Network Manager workstation, a network administrator
can
• Display alerts and recommended actions
• Generate event log reports
• Query, remove, or monitor adapters within the network
• Establish a communications link with an IBM bridge for the purposes of LAN
management
• Query and configure IBM bridges
• Monitor token ring network status and errors
• Perform token ring path tests and LAN segment tests
When accessing IBM LAN Network Manager via IBM NetView, a network
administrator can
• Display IBM LAN Network Manager alerts and recommended actions
• Generate IBM LAN Network Manager event log reports
• Issue commands to IBM LAN Network Manager
Within a token ring LAN environment, IBM LAN Network Manager can access
two different levels of management:
• Local services
• Network-wide services
These services are provided by LNM Servers; see “LNM Management Servers,”
later in this chapter, for a discussion of servers.
