Maybe you are talking about something completely different, but here are
some
words I have heard:

Netview for NT 5.1 provides integrated suppport for WBEM (Web-Based
Enterprise Management) technology. This is mostly Microsoft stuff, I think.
But Netview for NT can discover wbem-enabled nodes and collect and
store information about them.

A number of the IBM networking devices include in their agents the ability
to provide information and accept configuration commands via web
browsers. For that sort of thing, it should  not matter where the web
browser is, only that it support the correct levels of java or html or
whatever.
Our Nways management  applications on Netview for AIX allow you to
click on pictures of the device and launch the browser and get to the part
of the agent that controls that part of the device. So if the device
contains
a web server, the web browser could in theory be anywhere.

Anybody else?

Cordially,

Subject:  TNG versus Tivoli





Hi,

I have a question.
Is it possible to run a Web browser from Tivoli TME or Unicenter TNG (or
any
other SNMP console) to control a particular device on the net that support
a
Web browser application?
If somebody can help me out?

Thank you for your help.
