Device Resynchronization Scheduling : | Ability to schedule device resynchronization to be executed at a specified time |
Device Registration : | NETGEAR managed products can be registered from NMS300 |
| The registration tool lets you register one, several, or all devices that the application manages |
| Registration occurs with the NETGEAR registration server |
| Before you can use the registration tool that the application provides, you must create a customer account at the NETGEAR product registration website |
| After you create a customer account, you can set up the account profile in NMS300 |
MONITORING : | |
Topology Mapping : | Topology views displaying discovered and manually created links, including filtering |
Topological Management Alerts : | For discovered and manually added links in Topological View, different color and flashing styles are used when: |

| 1:1 and 1:Many based on static or dynamic device groups |
| Immediately or scheduled |
Mass-configuration : | Text-based configuration files can be edited and promoted as “Master” configuration files |
| Master configuration files are available for mass deployment |
| This is a useful way to make a “pattern” configuration file to deploy to several devices at once |
| Variables such as IP address or other identifiers can be excluded from mass-configuration |
Configuration File Restoration : | Device configuration file restoration for applicable devices |
| 1:1 and 1:Many based on static or dynamic device groups |

Device configuration : | Direct access/cut-through (HTTP/Telnet) |
Built-in File Server : | Support TFTP protocol |
CONFIGURATION (ALL SNMP DEVICES) : | |
MIB Browser : | The SNMP MIB browser lets you retrieve information about SNMP-enabled devices directly |
| The application supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 and all supported standard and private MIBs |
| The SNMP MIB browser lets you select one of several MIB databases (such as RFC Standard MIBs or NETGEAR Private MIBs) and navigate a MIB tree to select a specific MIB object |
| You can also search for a MIB object, upload MIBs to the MIB browser, and delete MIBs from the MIB browser |
| The application displays the data that the MIB object collects, information about the selected MIB object, and information about the SNMP credentials |
SNMP Commands : | Get: Collects data based on the selected MIB object |
| Get Next: Collects data based on the next MIB object (relative to the selected MIB object) in the MIB tree |
| Set: Changes the value of the selected MIB object |
| Table View: Collects table data based on the selected MIB object (available only for table-related MIB objects) |
