Extreme Management Center Features
Management Center provides the following features:
- Network — Device details for all managed devices in the network with sorting and filtering of relevant information for network troubleshooting and forensics. Additionally, create maps of the devices and wireless APs on your network. Import images of maps and building/floor plans, and then drag and drop your managed devices and wireless APs in the map. Use the Search to find a device, AP, or wired/wireless client or locate end-systems for a single AP on the map using RSS-based location services. If you have a NetSight Advanced License (NMS-ADV), this feature also includes maps with triangulated location.
- Alarms and Events — Alarm and event details for all managed devices in the network with sorting and filtering of relevant information for network troubleshooting and forensics.
- Control — Dashboards, reports, and control capabilities extending network management to the network attached end-systems. Allows better visibility and control for IT analysts, troubleshooters, and helpdesk based on end-system and user identity. Create policies for users and ports, enabling network engineers, information technology administrators, and business managers to work together to create the appropriate network experience for each user in their organization.
- Analytics — Real-time NetFlow data for enhanced network diagnostics such as flow details, applications, senders, and receivers.
