HubTrack/UNIX runs on SUN workstations and provides powerful functionality for the visual management of hubs. It works with Solstice SunNet Manager to enhance the hub manageability, and conforms to the IEEE Hub MIB standard.

Functions:

Hub Status Monitor - The Hub Status Monitor provides an instant view of the hub status in a window which has the 3612T front panel image and its lamps. These lamps reflect the actual status of 3612T, and are updated dynamically. The window also has a dozen indicators showing the status of each line connected to the hub. The hub setting can be changed by using the mouse on the hub image to evoke the control panel.

Traffic Viewer - The Traffic Viewer is an alternative to Solstice SunNet Manager 's Grapher tool and enhances traffic visualization capabilities. By using this tool, observing the traffic running through the hub is made much easier.

Configuration Manager - The Configuration Manager stores the hub configurations, so that this setting can be reproduced as needed. Thus, if the hub configuration is lost due to some trouble, this configuration can be revoked at once.

Remote Control Agent - This is an agent made by using the Solstice SunNet Manager Proxy agent mechanism. It accesses a hub from a serial port, so that you can reach hubs, even if trouble occurs in the network between the workstation running HubTrack/UNIX and a hub. This facility is convenient for initializing 3612T for the first time (for instance, the IP address assignment), and for out-of-band monitoring.

Link Tracer - The Link Tracer keeps track of connections between 3612T and nodes. 3612T is displayed in Solstice SunNet Manager 's map window as an icon. Whenever the Link Tracer finds a newly connected node, it draws an icon representing the node, and a line connecting it to 3612T. Likewise, when a node is disconnected, the corresponding icon and line disappears automatically. Furthermore, by clicking the mouse on the map, you can acquire various information on links.
