Force10 SW-FTMS-WIN40 ユーザーズマニュアル

The performance management module supports summary and detailed reporting of
collected statistics. Statistics collected are locally in a MySQL database, or exported
to external databases or applications using standard SQL tools.

FTMS supports batch configuration of devices using configuration templates, and 
the ability to upload or download the configuration. The node manager also supports
individual device configuration via the CLI. An audit log detailing the type of tasks
performed on individual network elements is also maintained by the system.

Configuration change management features include:

• Scheduled periodic backups of device configurations
• Viewing and editing the configurations offline using the FTMS configuration 

editor and viewing or merging differences between configurations

• Applying the modified configuration to multiple devices with a single click
• Managing FTOS software versions and upgrades

FTMS allows users to discover, add, modify and delete VLANs on multiple devices 
in the network. VLAN provisioning can perform the following functions:

• Create and delete VLANs
• Add or remove ports from VLANs
• Modify a VLAN’s IP address
• View the VLAN configuration

All devices discovered by FTMS during discovery are populated in an inventory
database. The inventory database supports serial number tracking of physical items
such as chassis, line cards, switch fabric modules, fan trays and other hardware. 
It also gives users an easy way to track software and firmware revisions loaded on
various network devices.

Security management has two main functional components:
• Secure administration of FTMS
• Secure access to devices

FTMS supports secure administration by multiple users simultaneously. The system
uses group-based authorization in which users belonging to specific groups are
allowed access to modules or tasks authorized for that group. User access to FTMS 
is authenticated against a local database. By default the system supports three
different access levels to which users can be assigned.

In addition to predefined groups, the system also supports the capability to create
additional groups to which users can be assigned. Within a group, users can be
included or excluded from certain operations or restricted to manage specific 
nodes or groups of nodes.

All user access to the system is captured via an audit log. FTMS supports SSH-based
access to Force10 devices for secure management. 

FTMS supports extensive integration with HP OpenView so that a Force10 device
can be managed from within HPOV. The FTMS node manager can be launched by
HPOV to manage Force10 devices. HPOV integrations also supports Force10 icons,
MIBs, SNMP traps and data collection.
