ProSafe™ Network Management System

Network monitoring and management offers 
proactive problem resolution

When you need insight into your infrastructure to control and optimize network operation,

NETGEAR’s ProSafe Network Management System NMS100 provides the solution. ProSafe

NMS100 helps you configure, manage, and diagnose your network, ensuring it delivers data

and services in a timely, reliable and cost effective manner. Easy to use, proactive, and secure,

ProSafe NMS100 facilitates the network administration tasks required to monitor and control

sophisticated heterogeneous data networks. 

ProSafe NMS100 works with any managed device that uses industry-standard Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP), such as Layer 2 switches, Layer 3 switches, wireless access

points, traditional routers, servers and printers. It automatically discovers and maps up to

1,000 devices on your heterogeneous network. Network statistics can be graphed in real

time, or stored as historical data for trend analysis. Proactive thresholds and alerts, including

email or pager notification, detect bottlenecks and other network problems and inform you of 

trouble before users start to call. An easy-to-use graphical interface enables you to monitor

everything from network elements to users and groups of devices. Optimized for NETGEAR

managed network products, you can view NETGEAR-specific information, globally highlight

NETGEAR VLANs and list all known NETGEAR devices. A fully functional 30-day trial version

included with every NETGEAR managed product. 

ProSafe NMS100 simplifies IT staff work with automatic discovery and topology mapping, 
accurately building a logical network map for easy navigation. An Explorer-style view of network
devices, MIBs and events reduces the time to find individual network elements. The ProSafe
NMS100 features GUI-based device configuration and easy-to-use reports on network availability,
performance and utilization. NETGEAR utilities display all known NETGEAR devices, along with
system information and firmware revisions, and all VLANs configured on NETGEAR switches. 

Preset or custom thresholds alert you to impending trouble spots. Air Messenger Pro Paging software
provides immediate network event notification, alerting network personnel so they can prevent
problems before they turn into outages. Filtered event logging delivers the ability to do after-the-fact
analysis of events, in chronological order, to better prevent network outages in the future. Trend
reporting capabilities offer insight into long-term network performance and growth. ProSafe
NMS100 provides the tools for capacity planning and the ability analyze hotspots where future 
congestion may be an issue. 

Optimized for NETGEAR managed products, ProSafe NMS100 supports managed devices from
other major network and equipment vendors. This includes all network components that conform
to standard MIBs, as well as private MIBs from 3Com, Cisco, HP and other major manufacturers. 
Full-featured MIB browser supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3. RMON tools give quick access to
remote monitoring capabilities built into RMON probes and NETGEAR switches. Support for
SNMPv3 ensures encrypted communications to devices in insecure environments. ProSafe NMS100
also provides the ability to discover non-SNMP products on the network, and allows for customized
labeling of those elements.
