NetSight is a business solution that enables
organizations to take full advantage of the
enhanced features and functionality of
Enterasys Secure Networks policy archi-
tecture. And because NetSight manages all
the infrastructure components as a total
system, you can use its features to view your
infrastructure as a cohesive whole rather than
as a disparate set of hardware.

management applications are launched, and
can be launched by itself or in conjunction
with the other NetSight management appli-
cations. The distributed Client/Server archi-
tecture enables users to log in to the NetSight
Server from anywhere on the network.

Designed to manage, monitor, and configure
an Enterasys network as a holistic system,
NetSight improves network visibility and
simplifies operation and management,
making the network a less complex, utility-
like service aligned to meet the needs of
business. In addition, NetSight system-level
approach effectively bridges the function-
ality gap between complex network man-
agement systems and traditional single
element manager applications.

NetSight Console features:
Discovery
The NetSight discovery process is based on
subnet address or IP address. By default,
all devices will be listed in the Managed
Nodes folder, but once a device is discovered,
it can be dragged from Managed Nodes to
any subfolder specified by the user.

Device Tree, Maps and Icons
Default folders in NetSight are created by
product family, including Matrix™ and
X-Pedition™, as well as by port types
such as 10/100 Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet.
Users may also create unique folders to
represent the network logically (e.g., a
building folder with a subfolder for each
floor). Folders can be created based on
any criteria, which the customer uses to
organize work. Many users prefer to create
customized folders such as WAN interface,
server connections, etc., for easy access
to information about important link types.
