Objects That You Can Manage
With PATROL DashBoard, you can discover and manage the following types of
objects:
■ domains
■ devices, such as routers, switches, and hubs
■ interfaces, both physical and logical, including optional functions, such as
— asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), with their virtual paths (VPs) and virtual
channels (VCs)
— Frame Relay (FR)
— data link connection identifier (DLCI)
— E1 channels
— Classes of Service (CoSs)
— classifier groups, classifiers, and classes for traffic-shaper devices
— Types of Service (ToSs)
■ peer relationships, referred to simply as peers
■ protocols, such as FTP, HTTP, ICMP, TCP, and so forth
■ hosts of NetFlow software and RMON2 probes
■ servers, both physical and virtual
■ data exchanges that are visible to NetFlow
■ virtual local-area networks (virtual LANs or VLANs)
■ virtual private networks (VPNs)
■ PATROL End-to-End Response Timers (referred to in this book as PETEs)
About Discovery
Intelligent collecting of indicators on an SNMP device consists of the following
stages:
■ discovering the device
■ classifying the device (for example, as routers or switches, by manufacturer, or by
model)
■ listing the optional functions (for example, RMON and DLCI Frame Relay)
