Network Administrator f/ HP OpenView (Win) Powerful Tool for HP OpenView Networks
3Com® Network Administrator combines the best features of 3Com Network Supervisor Advanced Package and the 3Com Integration Kit for HP OpenView to give network managers a powerful tool for managing 3Com devices in an HP OpenView network.

3Com Network Administrator integrates fully with HP OpenView, automatically sending SNMP traps and descriptions to the OpenView Alarm Log, and importing device and subnet lists directly from OpenView.

Accessible from the top-level HP OpenView menu, 3Com Network Administrator graphically discovers, maps, and displays network links and 3Com IP devices. It then gives you full control over even the largest, most complicated networks of 3Com devices, displaying 3Com device icons, MIB information, application alarms, and other data.

- Automated backup and restore
saves time and effort for network administrators, a key benefit in large, complex networks
- As an added convenience, administrators can choose any of three agent-update automation strategies: bulk updates across all device types; updates for a single class of devices; or updates by custom choices
