Regionally organized O&M with network partitioning
When managing a network that covers a large geographic area, it is often advisable to partition the managed network into sub-networks. These can then be managed by regional offices or specific operators.
Each region can have its own FOXMAN-UN infrastructure with agents and UIs, but sharing a central database. For access to the core and the database the different regions are connected via a WAN.
The example below shows an operation & management organization that is regionally distributed. The core is running on Server A (Main), and as redundant server on Server B (Standby).
Regionally organized O&M
The Windows® PCs in both regions provide the UI functions (GUI). UIs can also connect to Server A (FOXMAN-UN core machine) and to Server B (core machine with e.g. additional agents) if the two servers (A and B) are not used in a Main/Standby setup.
Additional PCs can be used to provide more UIs. The FOXMAN-UN Administrator can define access rights so that each operator has access only to his allocated part of the network. This of course is independent of the location of the PC (LAN A or LAN B).
