Differences
NetView Management Differences
Since the FEP-4600 does not contain a real SNA PU, there is currently nothing for
NetView to communicate with directly in the FEP-4600 platform. SNA nodes that are
remotely reachable through the FEP-4600 however can be contacted by NetView and
managed in a fashion similar to what you are used to.
To view line status information for lines managed by the FEP-4600, you can use the
browser interface of the FEP-4600 to display line status, and most any other type of
status. Refer to the FEP-4600 Users Guide and Maintenance Manual for details on
viewing status on the FEP-4600.
Line Trace Facility Differences
The FEP-4600 has its own Line Trace facilities for tracing, and retrieving data streams
for diagnostic purposes, and does not interact directly with VTAM or NetView.
All network interfaces and protocols can be traced on the FEP-4600 and viewed or
downloaded as needed as long as you are logged on as the administrator.
For detailed usage of the FEP-4600 Tracing facilities, refer to the FEP-4600 Users Guide
and Maintenance Manual.
