The D-View 7 Network Management System is a comprehensive standards-based management tool designed to centrally manage critical network characteristics such as availability, reliability, resilience, and security in a consistent way. Flexible and versatile, D-View 7 uses cutting-edge web technology to provide a comprehensive software toolbox that can be accessed without the need to install software onto the client.

 

D-View 7 is organized into a server-probe architecture, which simplifies data collection across complex networks. Monitoring and configuring multiple devices at remote locations, across the Internet, or behind a NAT is no longer an issue with the D-View 7. Remotely deployed probes will automatically tunnel home, allowing for the management of devices that cannot be directly accessed using standard SNMP. When a device is selected for management, D-View 7 probes will relay the command to the devices and then report its data back to the server.

 

D-View 7 supports various predefined configuration templates which can help administrators manage multiple devices easily. For complex configurations, D-View 7 also has the ability to deploy CLI scripts across multiple devices simultaneously. This allows D-View 7 to support a wide range of configuration features and virtually any device as long as it supports CLI settings.

 

With a highly customizable scheduling system, D-View 7 allows administrators to assign tasks to be issued during off-peak hours or any other planned maintenance time frame. This ensures that routine maintenance tasks and configurations will be automatically managed and monitored by the event notification system. D-View 7 also supports periodic tasks which can be run daily, weekly, monthly, etc.

 

Network administrators can customize the SOID and related information of virtually any third party device so they can be identified by and managed through D-View 7. This allows administrators to check the health status of those devices, issue CLI commands, and do standard management and monitoring. Combined with the new D-View 7 graphical dashboard, network administrators can get near real-time feedback on the status of their network.

 

D-View 7 also functions as a trap and syslog server which can collect all of the trap or syslog data from multiple devices across a network. This gives network administrators a centralized place to collect important data, which can then be searched easily from within D-View 7. The advanced search system lets network administrators set keyword combinations, and generate alarms based on events that are reported in the trap or syslog feature.
