Pam,
I just received Netview 7.1.1 for AIX, so can I go ahead and order 7.1.2
right now?
Thanks,

> the integration, which will continue to be enhanced moving forward.
> Integrated TCP/IP services is more than just shipping NetView and TEC,

> enabling it to determine if a given IP address included in a system event
> is on a subnet known to be unreachable, and therefore can pinpoint the
> network problem as the root cause. TEC will also include a NetView
> "intelligence pack" (rule set) to process common NetView events.
>
> 3) CNAT will be included with TEC , not with NetView
>
> 4) As Jane mentioned, the IBM Tivoli Switch Analyzer was also included in
> this announcement. It installs on top on NetView 7.1.2 and provides layer
> 2 knowledge and root-cause analysis down to the layer 2 level.
