NETSIGHT™ SWITCH/TOPOLOGY MANAGER V1.2
Management to Align the Network with the Business
NetSight Switch/Topology Manager is a sophisticated configuration tool for all Enterasys Networks™ switches
and other 802.1Q switching devices. This highly graphical, standards-based application lets you quickly create
VLANs and assign business classification policies over the entire switched infrastructure for security, QoS and
bandwidth provisioning—all from a single workstation! By applying rules and access privileges to the
applications most important to the business, customers can ensure that only authorized users receive critical,
confidential information on time, every time.
NetSight Switch/Topology Manager is the first standards-based VLAN management product to fully support
the 802.1Q bridge MIBs. An integral part of Enterasys’ enterprise management and security solutions,
NetSight Switch/Topology Manager allows customers to configure and manage their 802.1Q switches, ports,
and VLANs on the network via an easy-to-use graphical interface. All 802.1Q administrative tasks can be
accomplished without ever leaving the workstation. The NetSight Switch/Topology Manager reduces the
configuration burden of IT staffs by enabling configuration to be completed within hours instead of days. It
eliminates the need to configure each device via local management and makes frequent trips to the wiring
closet to regroup users a thing of the past. The NetSight Switch/Topology Manager also includes Rate Limiting
and QoS features critical to the success of today’s e-business infrastructures.
