Network Node Manager (NNM) is a Hewlett Packard OpenView product which manages networks. It uses SNMP to talk to network devices, allowing them to be autodiscovered, monitored and controlled. NNM determines and displays physical and logical connectivity in networks, as well as information pertaining to protocols running over the network. It also allows historical data to be collected and viewed/graphed.
