Avaya Network Management Server
The Avaya Network Management Server communicates with the devices in the network
through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) V1 or V3. It receives user input
through the Avaya Network Management Console and updates the Avaya Network
Management Console with information from the network devices. The Avaya Network
Management Server runs in the background as a Windows service. The server provides a
central address for event reporting. It passes traps to the Avaya Network Management Console
for display in the Event Log Browser. For more information about event handling and traps,
refer to
Event handling on page 18.
In addition, the Avaya Network Management Server helps you to operate the Avaya Network
Management Console from a remote location. This feature provides a method for managing
your network from any computer connected to the Internet. By pointing your web browser to
the Avaya Network Management Server’s IP address, you can access the Avaya Network
Management Console and manage your network. For more information on running the Avaya
Network Management Console from a remote location, refer to Starting the Avaya Network
Management Console on page 27.
