Network Control
Network Control is a plug-in that enables utilization of integrated network management
capabilities of an FSM. It has the following key features:
򐂰 Logical network management allows management of port profiles, VLANs, ACLs, and
QoS in virtualized, live-migration environments.
򐂰 It uses 802.1Qbg standards in integrated switches and PowerVM, KVM, and IBM “Osiris”
vSwitch for VMware.
򐂰 Optional Fabric Management extends QoS Management by providing advanced
monitoring, VM priority, and rate limiting.
򐂰 Network monitoring at a glance is provided by network topology perspectives with the
ability to see the components affected by network outages.
򐂰 It enables end-to-end network and virtualization management.
To access Network Control, from IBM FSM Explorer, select Home menu  Network
