Understand your networkTo successfully manage a modern, dynamic IP network,you need to understand how all of the pieces fit togetherand relate to the rest of your operation. Network Node

Manager Advanced Edition automatically discovers,inventories, and monitors complex switched networks andvirtual network services in diverse environments, rangingfrom small office networks with only a few objects to verylarge networks with hundreds of thousands of objects.

Network Node Manager Advanced Edition’s graphicaluser interface, “Home Base,” is designed to provide alloperators with an intuitive, easy-to-understand summaryof your network’s status, quick access to detailed alarms,and dynamic views: or maps, of your network infrastruc-ture and virtual services. Home Base brings the power ofNetwork Node Manager to everyone, even novice users.

Home Base quickly shows you the health of your networkdevices, the relationships between the physical infrastruc-ture and virtual network services, and the location oftrouble spots before they become critical. If you have aconnectivity problem, you can see a view of how yournetwork elements are communicating.

Quickly identify problems in your networkNetwork Node Manager Advanced Edition intelligentlyfilters and correlates the high volumes of network eventsto present a summary message which helps you quicklyfocus on the problem with a better understanding ofwhat needs to be done to restore the network operation.

Correlation Composer lets you tailor the event correlationbehavior to fit your particular needs without any specialprogramming knowledge.

HP OpenView Network Node Manager Advanced Editionfeatures a new multi-threaded poller and analysis subsystem,called the Active Problem Analyzer. This feature takes theoutput of the event-based root-cause correlation, combines

it with an understanding of physical topology, and augit as necessary with additional information gathered thrtargeted polling and data collection to determine the rocause of many common network problems.

From an alarm, you can launch views focused on th

area of the network in trouble to better understand problem. From your alarms browser, select an alarm aa specific menu will appear showing you what you nein order to troubleshoot the problem. Presenting the riview helps you resolve the problem easily and quickwithout having to navigate through the software andcomplex maps, thereby reducing the time necessaryfix the problem.

Move beyond root-cause analysis–the Problem StateHP OpenView Network Node Manager AdvancedEdition goes beyond root-cause analysis to determineProblem State and to link it into the diagnostic process.Problem State comprises both the root cause and thecurrent network state for the specific area of the network.Understanding the operation state of the network and

virtual services after a failure is essential to prioritizingand resolving complex problems and preventing follow-on outages.

Effective network diagnosis goes beyond root-causeanalysis. You need to know the cause of problems reportedin event streams, but you also need to understand thestate of the network after the failure so that you candetermine how to best correct the problem. Only HPOpenView Network Node Manager Advanced Editiondetermines Problem State, presents it in an intuitive andcomprehensive way, and links it easily into the diagnosticprocess while providing an intuitive, easy-to-use interface

to tune the system for maximum effectiveness.

Gain intelligent data collection, storage and reportingNetwork Node Manager Advanced Edition collectscritical data from across the network, stores it in an opendatabase, and provides several out-of-the-box web-basedreports. The web-based reports point out trends oninventory, availability, performance and alarms. Analysisof this historical data provides better understanding ofthe devices in the network and enables you to be moreproactive by anticipating emerging problems and takingaction before they affect the network, and consequentlyyour business.

To help you, Network Node Manager Advanced Editionincludes an auto-baselining capability to automatically setalarm thresholds for collected data based on deviationsfrom historical data collection. If these thresholds are

exceeded, Network Node Manager Advanced Editionwill generate an alarm to alert you to the situation beforethe problem turns into a serious network disruption.

Expand your capabilities As your need for network management grows, you canadd specific new management capabilities with SmartPlug-ins (SPIs) for Network Node Manager, which areavailable separately. SPIs easily and quickly integratemanagement for new services and technologies.

The Network Node Manager SPI for Advanced Routingextends the capabilities of Network Node Manager

Advanced Edition to intelligently diagnose dynamic networksfor IPv6 and Cisco HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol).

Network Node Manager SPI for LAN/WAN Edge issolution for monitoring the Frame Relay connectivitybetween the enterprise and the service provider. It anathe hundreds of events that occur during connectivityfailures and pinpoints the problem as being local, remoor due to potential configuration issues. In addition, it cprovide information on the customers or sites impactedan outage for any Frame Relay switch supporting the FrRelay MIB (RFC 1315).

This SPI will asin prioritizing failures with real-time fault views andsophisticated impact analysis by helping operatorsunderstand the relationships between customer sites

Network Node Manager SPI for IP Multicast enablesa network operator to view the topology and status oa multicast environment. It improves fault isolation fomulticast applications by automatically discovering adisplaying views of multicast routing topology andrelationships, measuring multicast traffic rates, andgenerating SNMP alarms based on multicast activi

New technologies, such as IP telephony environments, new management challenges to your network operatTo meet these new needs, HP OpenView provides a

integrated IP telephony management solution for leadIP telephony vendor infrastructures. Network NodeManager, HP OpenView Performance Insight and HOpenView Operations integrate with products fromleading vendors to provide the capability for fast faisolation and repair of IP telephony infrastructures ato generate specific network performance reports fooptimal use of IP telephony resources.
