D-Link D-View 6.0 Standard Edition DV-600S User Manual

D-View 6.0 SNMP Network Management System

D-View 6.0

Modular Architecture

D-View 6.0 is organized into a vendor-independent 

platform and user plug-in modules. The platform 

consists of several main components, namely the 

Domain Manager, NetMap Manager, Topology 

Generator, Batch Configuration, MIB utilities, Net 

Toolbox and Performance Monitor. The components 

can be loaded or unloaded according to the users’ 

need. Plug-in modules are for the D-Link devices that 

the administrators want to manage. When a device 

is selected for management, D-View 6.0 will look for 

that device’s plug-in module and display its image on 

the screen. 

Topology Map & Network Devices  Discovery

Users can create a topology map to graphically represent planned or existing networks to aid network 

design, and also D-View 6.0 will periodically poll network devices to monitor the status. Users can 

further customize their diagrams with selected icons and bitmap files used for the background. When 

a topology map is opened, D-View 6.0 will discover the devices connected on the network and display 

their icons on the map. D-View 6.0 can recognize SNMP enabled devices and also distinguish the 

device’s type. The protocols used in polling for device discovery are SNMP and ICMP. For remote 

network devices, D-View 6.0 acts as a trap receiver, collects traps sent by the devices and notifies 

network administrators immediately.
