Using Network Management Tools with the Access Server Gateway
In a DECnet SNA Gateway, you perform a variety of network management tasks using various OpenVMS utilities and commands. If you continue to use an existing DECnet SNA Gateway, you will also continue
to manage it using the same tools.
When you are managing an Access Server Gateway, either by itself or side-by-side with an existing DECnet SNA Gateway, you must manage the SNA Server, Windows NT Server, and Access Server from the
Windows NT system on which the components are installed. There are various graphical interface and command-line tools available to do so.
Table 5-1 lists some common network management tasks and compares the methods used to perform the tasks on an OpenVMS system and on a Windows NT system.
