Abstract

See full text

Discovery/layout software configures a general purpose computer system to act as a management station using the industry standard SNMP protocol. The discovery/layout software has a discovery mechanism and a layout mechanism which, in combination, permit the discovery/layout software to provide various submaps on demand to a display. The submaps are directed to various hierarchical views of the network. The discovery mechanism monitors and discovers the device configuration on the network and maintains a topology data base indicative thereof. A layout mechanism has a translator which converts the topology data from the topology data base to map data, which is maintained in a map data base. Significantly, topology data is received by the translator in a batch and, in addition, map data is transferred from he translator in a batch.
