Definition
Resource Management includes resource access and monitoring. When a connection between resources and the eSight is set up, resources can be managed by the eSight.
Table 3-1 describes the basic concepts about resource management.

Description |
|---|---|
Resource |
eSight manages various resources, such as devices and subnets. |
NE |
An NE is an entity that contains hardware and software. eSight supports only virtual NEs. |
Subnet |
A large network is divided into several smaller networks based on a specific rule (by region or device type), which facilitates network management. On eSight, these smaller networks are called subnets. |
Device |
A device is an actual physical device, and its basic information includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address, port number, user name, and password. |
Group |
A group incorporates managed objects. Multiple devices in different subnets can be added to a group and assigned to a user for management. |
