    	                     SunNet Manager 2.1

SunFLASH Vol 53 #25					            May 1993
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
53.25	SunNet Manager 2.1 for Solaris 2.1 is now available.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation (SMCC) is introducing SunNet
Manager(tm) 2.1 software, a new version of the SunNet Manager network
management environment for Sun(tm) SPARCstation(tm) systems running the 
Solaris(R) 2.1 operating environment. SunNet Manager 2.1 makes the
functionality of SunNet Manager 2.0 available to Solaris 2.1 users.
SunNet Manager 2.0 will continue to be offered by SMCC.

SunNet Manager is based on a protocol-independent, distributed
management architecture and offers an open and intuitive graphical
topology display, and a complete set of applications for automated
fault isolation, diagnosis, network monitoring and control.  In
addition, SunNet Manager provides distributed manager/agent services,
open APIs for developers, and a site license for SNMP agents.  SunNet
Manager 2.1 contains management agents for both Solaris 2.1 and 
Solaris 1.0 systems. Network managers running the SunNet Manager 2.1
console on Solaris 2.1 systems can remotely manage agents for both
Solaris 1.0 and Solaris 2.X systems.

SunNet Manager is architected for management of heterogeneous network
environments. Multi-protocol support comes through the use of proxy
agents in the manager/agent services APIs. SunNet Manager can
communicate to any private network management protocol through a proxy
written to its agent services API.  SunNet Manager also maintains a
cache of information about the network, allowing a network manager to
run diagnostics when other systems on the network are inoperable.

SunNet Manager is a complete package for distributed management, yet
allows extensibility by the skilled user or development partner.
