LinkBuilder

This section lists the LinkBuilder® devices and software agents that Device View supports.

Supported Devices

Device View supports the following LinkBuilder devices:

Intelligent modules have their own IP address. When these modules are discovered by Enterprise Manager they are represented by an ECS module icon. When Autodiscovery searches your network for devices, it treats each device with an IP or IPX address as a separate entity, so even though these modules are housed in an ECS chassis they are shown separately on your network map. This enables you to work with an ECS chassis and intelligent modules that are on different networks. Double-clicking an ECS module icon has no effect.

Device View supports the following units:

The LinkBuilder FDDI Hub provides an affordable way to create a 100Mbps bandwidth connection to devices such as servers and workstations, allowing you to eliminate throughput bottlenecks and improve performance.

Device View supports the following units:

Device View supports the following units:

The LinkBuilder Multi-Services Hub (MSH) is an 11-slot chassis-based hub that can connect large, mixed-technology, mixed-media LANs and can be managed if you install an MSH Management Module (3C18500) in the chassis. With MSH you can connect up to 10 managed Ethernet, five managed Token Ring, or three FDDI enterprises. Alternatively you can interconnect up to three Ethernet and five Token Ring work groups across the backplane.

Intelligent modules have their own IP address. When these modules are discovered by Enterprise Manager they are represented by an MSH module icon. When Autodiscovery searches your network for devices, it treats each device with an IP or IPX address as a separate entity, so even though these modules are housed in an MSH chassis they are also shown separately on your network map. This feature enables you to work with an MSH chassis and intelligent modules that are on different networks. Double-clicking an MSH module icon has no effect.
