An SNMP-based application, RouterManager/AutoBahn (from $1995) provides network management capabilities for multivendor, multiprotocol WANs. The program automates the network-monitoring and data-collection process by monitoring critical network information on an ongoing basis, as well as in the background. With RouterManager/AutoBahn, you can manage your WANs from Windows or any major Windows- or NT-based platforms.
The ConfigurationManager manages router configurations from a central location on a domain or global basis; AlarmManager continuously monitors the status of each router and generates an alarm whenever any errors are found or when user-defined thresholds are crossed. SecurityControl allows the administrator to limit access to RouterManager/AutoBahn features t
o select individuals or groups; Path-Finder pinpoints the problem areas when connectivity is lost between sites or when links are congested; and FlashManager supplies a directory of all the software images that are stored on the routers.
