Product Overview:
Ruijie RG-SNC (Smart Network Commander) is a network management system launched by Ruijie Networks especially designed for network performance management and configuration. With a friendly browser UI, the SNC provides an extensive array of features such as network topology display, device management, performance monitoring, configuration & software management, real-time alarm and log & report management.
The SNC evolves from the traditional network management system and adopts an intelligent “non-agent” mode, which is easier to deploy and maintain. It provides multiple benefits for administrators in terms of task plan customization, real-time network status monitoring, configuration backup and instant topology display of the whole network.
The latest SNC is an ideal match for Ruijie products and also supports fundamental management for 3rdparty MIB products. The SNC offers a broad array of management functions including wireless management, real-time network topology display and protection, comprehensive reports and logs, etc. The Ruijie SNC hence simplifies network management and lessens maintenance workload.
Product Features:
Comprehensive Network Topology Information
RG-SNC displays visual topology of the network infrastructure. And all the devices are discovered through three ways: ARP table, routing table and network segment.
Topology management allows users to work on their networks topology. Many types of topology diagram are available, such as L3 global and user-defined topology diagram. In the diagram, the joining links between the devices and PCs reflects the real physical cable links. Users can hence monitor the connectivity among devices network segments, device status and link bandwidth in real-time.
Besides, users can drag device icons freely and to add or delete links & devices manually for a better displaying purpose of the physical network topology. Key link detection is another key feature of RG-SNC. The connectivity of some sensitive links can be tested periodically to make alerts before network failure happens.
The SNC offers additional features below:
Topology management: Offer strengthened topology discovery performance for Layer 2 and 3. With automatic network topology display, it supports monitoring of device status displayed by a customizable topology based on users’ needs. It also supports accurate location tracking and provides a complete list of devices, allowing users to view devices in groups or in personalized format based on the actual demands.
Online user info: Topology displays full details such as user name, IP address, MAC address, uplink device and its port.
Network diagnosis assistant: Regular inspection on network response status to offer network administrators easy management.
Event monitoring: Married with SNMP to achieve comprehensive device monitoring. The system also has a library of 80 trap/syslog alerts as default, offering a clear picture for immediate troubleshooting.
Refined Device Management
The SNC offers a wide range of advanced features to facilitate network management.
Key link inspection: Initiate link inspection from source device to target device (manual/regular automated inspection). Alerts once failure is found and locate failure node.
Extensive info viewing: Support info checking on device routing table, ARP table, etc. Built-in with device Telnet and device web configuration entrances for diversified management modes.
Asset management: Allows users to collect devices information including manufacturer, category, product model, and software & hardware version. This provides administrators a clear understanding of the network infrastructure.
Hierarchical management: Define administrators’ device management rights.
Comprehensive information support: Management efficiency enhancement with detailed information available, e.g. CPU, memory, port status, routing table, MAC table, ARP table and so on. Embedded Telnet and Web configuration entries to offer multiple management modes.
Interface batch management and configuration: Interface batch operation is supported to reduce maintenance workload.
Wireless device management: Supports WLAN traffic monitor, WLAN user management and AC & AP configuration.
Wireless Management
Ruijie SNC offers the latest RG-SNC-WLAN module to achieve centralized management of wireless devices.
Topology management: Real-time topology display of wireless device operation status.
Management page: Provide global view of the wireless network with customizable monitoring indicators such as out of service rate and idle AP for network
Hotspot management: Hotspot-based statistical analysis and management on APs. Hotspot diagram visualizes full details of AP distribution, signal coverage and user count, etc.
Heat map diagram: Display the APs inside the hotspots visually, as well as the number of devices connected to the APs.
Wireless controller management: The wireless module centrally manages all ACs by interface configuration, performance monitoring, etc.
FIT AP management: Device status, load management and scheduled Wi-Fi radio management. The feature supports regular switch on/off and implements AP overloading alerts.
End user management: Provide details on the number of access users, rates, user online/offline status, etc.
Rogue AP countermeasure: Display basic info of any rogue AP once detected. The AP is located, linked to hotspotand reflected on the hotspot diagram. Warning messages can be issued to the rogue AP.
Troubleshooting assistant: IP/MAC-based searching for end device, AP, AC and rogue AP.
IP Surveillance
Low-threshold Bandwidth Monitoring
The RG-SNC provides advanced low-threshold bandwidth management feature which can monitor the transmitted bandwidth of each IP camera for fault management purpose. When video is being recorded in the IP camera, a minimum amount of bandwidth is required for data streaming over IP network to the NVR server. This feature allows users or administrators to configure the minimum threshold bandwidth for each of the IP cameras and NVR applications. When there is an error or the IP camera recording function is not operating as normal, the low threshold rule with key link detection of low bandwidth will be triggered and the RG-SNC will provide proactive alert and alarm generation. This will facilitate the administrator to find the root cause easily with the unified management software.
This feature is mainly designed for environments and situations that require 24-hour video recording for high security purpose. CCTV surveillance is critical to a lot of industry such as large logistic sector, business banking environment and public sector which requires high security with video recording used as criminal evidence in court.
Remote Power Management
The RG-SNC supports remote power management such as power on/off and power restart for wireless APs, IP cameras and other PoE-powered devices via the topology management view which facilitates operation and maintenance support. The RGSNC enables remote power control of IP cameras instead of operating on the NVR. When the IP camera is not functioning properly, identify which device it is connected to and select the port which needs to restart the PoE power. The RG-SNC can control the PoE power in the switch to turn off or restart the device.
Configuration Management
The SNC supports various configuration management functions, such as regular backup and recovery of device configuration, software management and software issue schedule management. The SNC supports various configurations managing functions including:
Configuration snapshot: The system supports customized collection of device configuration for backup to ensure painless recovery upon failure.
Configuration comparison: Automatically compare the latest configuration details with the previous after backup is completed. Network administrators can acquire any changes easily for risk management.
Unified Management of System Software
Device software statistics: Provide statistics and details on device model and software version for synchronization.
Device software batch assignment: Synchronize software updates for all the devices in the network with details provided.
