Convenient color-coded displays, topology overlays, and focused zooming make it easy for you to view the entire network or to concentrate on an area of interest.
Unified resource management of network device
More management equipment types: besides the traditional routers and switches, iMC can manage the switch , router , wireless device , security device , and other device in the network to realize the centralized management of the network resources.
Supporting the batch configuration and verification of equipment access parameters, providing the function of searching, modifying, deleting and importing / exporting of network equipment resources, and also providing user batch management functions, including batch modification of user additional information, batch cancellation of users, and batch user import functions to save operator’s time.
Flexible and fast automatic discovery algorithm: Based on H3C patent algorithm, iMC platform not only provides rapid automatic discovery, but also provides advanced automatic discovery methods, including routing, ARP, and so on, which can quickly and accurately find network resources. Support panel management, which displays the composition and running state of the device via WYSIWYG.
Intelligent alarm management
Intuitive fault list: The H3C Intelligent Management Center can automatically summarize faulty devices across the entire network, creating a list of faulty devices that allows administrators to quickly and clearly identify the faults that need attention.
Intelligent alarm correlation: Provides automatic filtering of duplicate alarms, sudden high traffic alarms, and unknown alarms. Users can also customize filtering rules to effectively compress massive network alarms, allowing administrators to focus directly on real network faults.
Alarm root cause analysis and impact analysis: The IMC platform provides area alarm root cause analysis based on the topology, alarm correlation analysis, and alarm group analysis to effectively shield massive presentational alarms caused by faults. These features allow you to fast locate and search for fault root causes and identify the impact of faults.
Alarm definition and MIB import: In addition to supporting standard traps and proprietary traps from mainstream vendors such as H3C, Huawei, and Cisco, it also provides functions for adding and importing trap definitions through MIB, facilitating quick support for new traps from various vendors.
Rich alarm forwarding mechanisms: In addition to providing alarm sound and light notifications, forwarding to Email, and SMS, it can also define different notification content and corresponding maintenance references for different alarms. When similar alarms occur again, they can be directly linked to the corresponding maintenance reference.
Visual device fault state monitoring based on topology: In a traditional NMS, the alarm states are not displayed in the topology. The IMC platform uses eye-catching colors to visually display the fault states on device icons and link icons in the topology. You can learn the overall network running status through the topology.
Syslog reception and analysis: The iMC platform supports the reception of raw Syslog messages from multi-vendor devices, providing log browsing, querying, exporting, and automatic dumping functions. It can also analyze Syslog messages based on predefined and user-defined rules, upgrading key events to alarms, effectively helping users timely discover critical network events within massive Syslog messages.
Easy performance management
Clear network TopN performance indicators: CPU utilization, memory utilization, bandwidth utilization, device response performance, and device unreachability are among the most concerning items in network performance management. The iMC platform uses a TopN list to clearly show users the current performance bottlenecks in the network.
Performance view: Users can flexibly customize performance data browsing views to analyze network operation trends. The performance view supports the display of multiple indicators and multiple instance data combinations, supporting various performance monitoring data display methods such as TopN detailed tables, TopN histograms, fold-line graphs, bar charts, area charts, and summary data.
Deep integration of performance and alarms: The iMC platform supports setting two levels of thresholds for each performance indicator to send alarms of different levels. Users can directly understand the performance status of device monitoring indicators based on alarm information, helping them keep track of network operating status, predict traffic development trends, and optimize the network reasonably.
Detailed performance statistical reports: Utilizing collected performance data, the iMC platform can create practical and detailed statistical reports on key performance monitoring content. Users can print these reports directly or export them as files in formats such as Excel, HTML, PDF, and Word.
Rich real-time display of topology performance indicators: The iMC platform supports the display of device and link performance monitoring data within the topology, allowing users to customize different display indicators for different devices and links.
Powerful configuration management
Resource-oriented configuration and software management: The iMC platform provides management of configuration template libraries and device software libraries from a resource management perspective. The configuration template library maintains two types of resources: network device configuration template files and commonly used configuration template snippets; configuration template files can be deployed as device startup configurations or running configurations; configuration template snippets can be deployed as running configurations or deployed as startup configurations by enabling the "save device running configuration as startup configuration after issuing command" option, and the configuration content can include parameters that are set to different values based on device differences during deployment.
The device software library maintains various software files: In addition to managing the version software of devices, it also supports the management of various business software on devices (currently including ONU software, ONU algorithms, and other device software resources), thus achieving unified management of device software files. Users can export configuration templates and device software files from the system to their local systems to establish local backups of configuration and software file resources; conversely, they can also import from local files into the iMC platform.
Centralized device configuration and software information display: This feature centralized displays the configuration files and software versions of all devices on the entire network, including the current software version, latest software version available for upgrade, latest backup time, and whether a device is added to an automatic backup plan. On this page, the administrator can perform the following centralized operations for devices, including device configuration deployment, device configuration backup and restoration, device software upgrade and restoration, device space management, and device software baseline management. This feature effectively helps the network administrator to visually learn the configurations and software versions of devices on the network.
Baseline device configuration change audit: Through the management of configuration backup history and software upgrade history, it realizes baseline device configuration change audit functions, making configuration file management and software upgrade management retraceable. It provides baseline version management of device running configurations and startup configurations, categorizing each device's related configuration files into three versions: baseline, normal, and draft, facilitating identification and management by administrators. It also allows for quick recovery to baseline configurations and provides baseline version management for device software, allowing each device to specify a baseline version, along with baseline audit and quick recovery to baseline version functions.
Automated establishment of traceable network configurations: By enabling the automatic backup function, it helps administrators periodically and automatically complete historical backups of device configurations, establishing traceable network configurations for users. Users can set different backup cycles and points in time for different devices, supporting daily, weekly, and monthly backup cycles. It supports configuration change checks for network operating devices; once a configuration change occurs, it immediately notifies administrators to pay attention through alarms.
Unified management of wired and wireless networks
iMC provides a unified view of wired, wireless networks and stations with enhanced network performance monitoring and management. From access points (AP) to edge routers, administrators can manage these devices in a consistent manner using policies. iMC delivers role-based access and centralized policy enforcement for users and their devices. Identity-based access helps ensure that the appropriate security measures and policies are applied consistently to users, whether each user connects through a wired or wireless LAN.
Flexible centralized reporting
iMC receives and logs SNMP traps and syslog reports, and it can generate online and historical network performance information in highly adaptable report formats. The reports enable powerful fault finding and event generation. In addition, flexible historical reports provide the information you need for network trend analysis and capacity planning. You can also easily create inventory reports that show network device details, such as model, firmware, available memory, IP address, and serial number. The reports can be run with a mouse click or can be scheduled to run at regular intervals. And you can view reports in a number of formats, including pdf,.csv,.rtf and .xls, and send them automatically via email.
Hierarchical management
The standard version of iMC offers distributed management capabilities that allow multiple servers with different installed modules to retain the appearance of a single UI. The professional version provides the greatest span of control, with a hierarchical deployment mode that can extend visibility across multiple networks, multiple countries, and even multiple continents. For greater flexibility and convenience, you can combine the distributed and hierarchical modes of deployment. iMC provides hierarchical rights management which enables the hierarchical authorization on device or user or operation.
