Abstract
A data communications network providing for a management of a router or the like in the network. Management of the router is accomplished though use of a logical view of a the router which view includes information on the router, protocols available on the router and interfaces available with the router. Further, commands to query routers for information and otherwise control routers in a data network are often cumbersome and difficult. Therefore, a improved method and apparatus is provided to allow such commands to be entered, by a network manager, into the router network management system and to be executed by selection of buttons on a menu. Still further, the disclosed router management system provides for true, at a glance, management of a router by allowing a single icon to be used to quickly review the status of the router and for the icon to be expanded into a full window to provide for further information on the status of the router.
