Re: [nv-l] Web Console Telnet

Ray,

This is in 7.1.2, here is the excerpt from the release notes:

Web Console Enhancements
Submap Explorer

The Submap Explorer now displays connections and backbones in the Unreachable color when the containing network is Unreachable, and provides new telnet functionality. The Submap Explorer will also provide Layer 2 information if the optional IBM Tivoli Switch Analyzer is installed on the server.

Layer 2 Information. The System Configuration View now contains a Layer 2 Status column. This column will be populated only when connected to a UNIX Web Server that has the IBM Tivoli Switch Analyzer installed.
New Connection Color for Unreachable. When displaying submaps that are parented by Unreachable networks, all connections and backbones are now drawn with the Unreachable color.
Telnet Command. The telnet command is now available from the Object option in the main menu and from an object's pop-up menu in the IBM Tivoli NetView Web Console application. It is not available when the Web Console is run as an applet. Please note that you can attempt to telnet to any node, but normally only UNIX nodes have a telnet service available.

Subject: [nv-l] Web Console Telnet

Hello Everyone.
NV 7.1.2 on AIX 4.3.3.

I'd like to convince my users to switch from the good old native X-Windows
console to the new Web Console. I want to conserve memory usage. The only
drawback I can see is that there is no easy means to telnet to a marginal or
working network node. I haven't seen any updates regarding the telnet via
the Web Console. Are there any updates? Is telnet planned for 7.1.3 Web
Console?

Thanks in advance.
