Required operating system
An SNMP bridge module provides integration of the management console with an SNMP v1-capable management framework. MX-ONE alarms are then forwarded to the management
framework. The SNMP bridge module can be installed on the
same server as the console or it can be on another server closer
to the management framework. It is installed on the same side
of a firewall as the management framework to prevent SNMP
v1 from bypassing the firewall. If management framework
integration is not required by the customer, this module is not
used. For small systems, the console and the SNMP bridge can
be co-located with communications functionality. The recommendation is to deploy the console and the SNMP bridge on
separate servers.
The operating systems supported by Manager Availability are:
Windows Server 2008 and LINUX SLES 10 (SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server). The management console runs on Windows
Server 2008.
