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

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

D-View 7 Architecture

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 Vulnerability exposure due to firewall setup - Security issue 3 Require certain ports (ex. SNMP, Trap..) open in Firewall Traffics between NMS and devices are vulnerable for intrusion Traffic congestion - Scalability issue 2 The more devices being managed, the more small packets back to NMS

D-View 7 Architecture Based on Server & probe architecture Built-in local probe for discovery and monitoring of devices Local Probe Collect & store data from probe(s) Analyze & compile data Dispatch commands from admins What Server will DO : Discover networks local or remote sites Monitor and collect data from devices Execute commands on devices What Probe will DO :

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

D-View 7 for NAT Issue Deploying a probe on each NAT network Probe discover local network and communicate with D-View server Double NAT Environment NAT Environment Probe Router

Traditional Issue - Scalability Direct communicate with devices causing traffic congestion 2 The more devices being managed, the more small packets back to NMS NMS Traffic Congestion

D-View 7 for Scalability Issue Deploying a probe on each subnet to isolate traffic domain Traffic reduced to one connection per subnet Probe

Traditional Issue - Security Vulnerability exposure on firewall setup - 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

D-View 7 for Security Issue D-View 7 only leverage port 443 for probe communication Network security intact Probe HTTPs Managed Network Firewall Communicate via TCP 443

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 HTTPs Firewall settings - Security issue 3 Only needs outgoing TCP 443 for D-View 7 connection Managed Network Firewall Communicate via TCP 443

Monitor – Rack View Real time monitor for status of devices, ports and events Group devices of interest into virtual rack Simulate rack management in data center

Start Time Group of Devices Execution Config Template Batch Template Practices Batch Configuration - By Template Save time for group settings with various templates Schedule batch configuration one-time or periodically Change SSID1 to D-Link Selected Access Points Immediately One time job Batch Config 1 Reboot system Switches in Room A 4:00 am, Jun Every Sunday Batch Config 2

Batch Configuration - By Script Built-in script engine to dispatch CLI commands to a group of devices at once Use command variables to make script more flexible Scenario– Hospitality Practices Change SSID of APs in each room with room number ‚Change SSID encryption to “WPA personal” AP Room 1 AP Room 2 AP Room 3 AP Room 4 set interface wlan1 ssid %ssid% set interface wlan1 security wpa-personal Batch Script configuration
