Essential SNMP, Second Edition

Appendix B. More on OpenView's NNM

By now, you should be familiar with OpenView's NNM and its supporting utilities. Even though many network administrators can get by with the basic OpenView information provided in this book, there is much more to learn. Configuring NNM with your own custom tools makes using it that much better.

While we can't cover all the features of NNM in this appendix, we'll discuss each of the following:

• Using external data with xnmgraph

• Inserting additional menu items into NNM's menu

• Creating NNM profiles for different users

• Using NNM as a centralized communication device
