Overview D-View 7 is a web-based network management system designed to effectively manage device configurations, performance and troubleshooting.

Web-based Design D-View 7 Intranet (LAN) Users can access D-View 7 from anywhere with any browsers No client installation needed for remote access Branch B Branch A Internet

D-View 7 Architecture

Innovative Architecture Based on Server & probe architecture Built-in a local probe with server Probe Collect & store data from probe(s) Analyze & compile data Dispatch commands to probes Serve web clients What Server will DO : Discover devices in the network Monitor and collect data from devices Execute commands on devices What Probe will DO :

Solving Traditional NMS Issues Devices behind NAT - Connectivity issue 1 Require VPN connected to NAT environment for device management Trouble dealing with devices behind double NAT environment Firewall settings and vulnerability - Security issue 3 Require certain ports (ex. SNMP, Trap..) open in Firewall Traffics between NMS and devices are vulnerable Traffic congestion - Scalability issue 2 The more devices being managed, the more small packets back to NMS

Devices behind NAT - Traditional NMS Double NAT Environment NAT Environment Router NMS Devices behind NAT - Connectivity issue 1 Require VPN connected to NAT environment for device management Trouble dealing with devices behind double NAT environment

Devices behind NAT - D-View 7 Double NAT Environment NAT Environment Probe Router 1 Deploying a probe on each NAT network Probe discover local network and communicate with D-View server Devices behind NAT - Connectivity issue

Traffic Congestion - Traditional NMS Traffic Congestion - Scalability issue 2 The more devices being managed, the more small packets back to NMS Traffic Congestion NMS

Traffic Congestion - D-View 7 Probe Traffic Congestion - Scalability issue 2 Deploying a probe on each site to isolate traffic domain Traffic reduced to one connection per site

Firewall Settings - Traditional NMS Firewall settings - Security issue 3 Require certain ports (ex. SNMP, Trap..) open in Firewall Traffics between NMS and devices are vulnerable for intrusion SNMP, Trap traffics allowed on Firewall Potential network security breach! = Firewall Managed Network SNMP SNMP Trap Syslog NMS

Firewall Settings – D-View 7 Network security intact Probe HTTP / HTTPs Firewall settings - Security issue 3 Only needs outgoing TCP 80, 443 for D-View 7 connection Managed Network Firewall Communicate via TCP 80, 443
