Network Supervisor 
Key Benefits
Practical Management for Small to
Midsize Networks
3Com
®
Network Supervisor gives managers
of all experience levels support for small to
midsize network supervision. Automated
operations and intelligent defaults, plus the
ability to detect network misconfigurations
and obtain optimization suggestions, allow
faster identification and response to
network problems.
Automatic Discovery and Mapping
Network Supervisor automatically
discovers and maps—as both a Layer 3
subnet view or a Layer 2 flat view—all IP
devices and links on local or specified
subnets, gathering additional management
details for 3Com equipment and some
common third-party devices.
Real-time Network Stress Monitoring
The software automatically monitors
network stress for all key switches and
links on the network, as well as the stress
levels of end stations, servers, and their
links to the core devices.
Comprehensive graphs display stress levels
for an instant view of network performance.
Experienced users can choose a more
detailed depiction of important parameter
values. To make troubleshooting faster, trace
paths clearly show network traffic routes.
Comprehensive Reporting
Network Supervisor provides detailed and
customizable reports of network topology
and inventory—ports used and available
on switches. Separate reports show
network misconfigurations and suggest
ways to optimize the network. 
Easy-to-use Notifications and Alarms
Alarm-forwarding options let managers
stay in constant touch with the network.
Any network event can generate alerts to
proactively communicate potential network
problems. Notification of these can be sent
as e-mails, audio alerts or visual pop-ups,
and can start third-party applications or
scripts.
A Smart Event Engine automatically detects
and classifies correlated and recurring
events, enabling fast problem solving by
focusing on root causes and lessening event
clutter. 
Live Updates
With a single button click, 3Com Network
Supervisor checks the 3Com website for
new Network Supervisor upgrades and
available device support for the equipment
in the managed network.
Traffic Prioritization Support
A Network Supervisor wizard offers 
quick and easy implementation of 3Com
SuperStack
®
3 Switch 4400 network traffic
prioritization, identifying key applications
and servers and automatically giving 3Com
IP telephony voice packets the highest
priority.
