Control Point Version 2.1 currently provides Network Management support for Solstice SunNet Manager 2.0 running SunOS 4.1.x, support for Solstice SunNet Manager 2.2 running SunOS 4.1.x, and Solstice SunNet Manager 2.2 running Solaris 2.3 (using binary computability mode). Control Point manages the Network 9000 Routing HUB, and standalone equipment by providing a point and click graphical user interface for chassis management and internal segment connections. Control Point provides a detailed GUI representation of Xyplex repeaters, routers, and terminal servers for both standalone and chassis based products. By creating a chassis ICON on the MAP, the user can start Remote View, a Xyplex GUI application that will auto-discover devices located within the HUB and populate the MAP with all devices found in the HUB. The GUI itself will poll all devices in the HUB, or standalone devices, and provide a visual means for identifying device, port and power supply status. For detailed management, Control Point provides the following applications:

• Status and Configuration Application (CPSTAT): A GUI that provides predefined easy to read views of all read only and read/write parameters available for the device under management. Several views can be open at once and the display fields can be continuously polled or modified from the same application. The users can also design their own customer views.

• Network 9000 and Standalone Device GUI Application (Remote View):

  When Remote View is launched from a Xyplex ICON on the MAP, it will bring up a GUI representation of standalone devices and Network 9000 Chassis. By creating a single front card within a chassis, the user may poll the chassis and auto-create the rest of the chassis as well as populate the MAP.

• Slot Connections Application GUI: This is a drag and drop GUI that allows the user to change internal/external slot connections for all Network 9000 products.

• Xyplex Create: will automatically create Xyplex devices on the MAP once the Solstice SunNet Manager discover tool has been run. Xyplex Create creates the appropriate ICON and Xyplex sub-net views the ICON. Control Point is tightly integrated with Solstice SNM so that any trap or event will be logged so Solstice SNM provides a visual representation on the MAP. All commands are available from the Solstice SNM pull-down menu as well as the Xyplex Remote View application.
