Interconnecting Multiple Servers

A distributed management configuration that allows communication
between multiple server systems is sometimes called a Manager of
Managers
. In this scenario there are multiple management domains but
each domain has management personnel who need to use a local server.
These servers all report to one or more super-servers that incorporate
topology for all management domains.

In this release of SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise, intercommunication between
multiple servers is not supported. Server-to-server communication is under
development will be available in the next major release (early 1999).

Accessing From Apple and UNIX systems

Although the SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise server can be accessed remotely from
any Windows NT system, there is no general mechanism for accessing the
server from non-Windows systems, such as Apple or UNIX systems.
Recognizing that this is a significant customer requirement, we are currently
developing a completely JAVA based platform-independent console
application. This application is scheduled for release in 1999 and will
replace the SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise console.
