Avaya MultiService Network Manager��

Avaya MultiService Network Manager provides customers with either a standalone product or one that can integrate with the HP OpenView NMS, and includes applications that allow customers to manage network devices. These applications include:

• Avaya MultiService Address Manager -- displays a centralized list of hosts in the network, and correlates among IP addresses, MAC addresses, and device port connectivity.
• Avaya MultiService Configuration Manager -- provides quick network setup and installation, fast recovery for faulty devices, downloading/uploading configuration data, backup of configuration files, and export of configuration files to other sources for reporting or analysis.
  
  Accessible from within Avaya MultiService Configuration Manager, Avaya MultiService EZ2Rule Manager is a campus-wide application that provides Quality of Service (QoS) management for small sites with limited bandwidth resources. In addition, Avaya MultiService EZ2Rule Manager enables the user to preview the application of new rules before network deployment, ensuring accurate and consistent deployment of priorities in the network.
• Avaya MultiService Console -- provides the discovery of IP-enabled devices, hierarchical map representation, device status, fault monitoring, and a launch point for device managers.
• Avaya MultiService Software Update Manager -- downloads software to managed Avaya MultiService devices, and performs all necessary software maintenance operations. These operations include checking current software versions against the latest versions available from the Avaya Web site, recommending updates, and providing an inventory of Avaya MultiService data devices residing on the network.
• Avaya MultiService VLAN Manager -- a graphical application for VLAN management that allows for configuration and monitoring of VLAN use. Avaya MultiService VLAN Manager assigns and maintains VLAN numbering and naming, tracks additions and changes to the network, validates VLAN name and tag values, and monitors the number of VLANs in order to assist in maintenance tasks.

Avaya MultiService Network Manager supports converged network environments composed of multi-vendor equipment from key vendors and will be enhanced to support all Avaya IP voice systems and data devices to create a full convergence solution.
