Initiatives are on-going to upgrade the current communication technologies, for instance through the development of SpaceFibre or the adoption of Ethernet-based ground technologies. The complexity of the resulting networks and protocols calls for appropriate measures for management. This paper presents the development of an upgraded version of the SPACEMAN network management tool, originally supporting SpaceWire Networks composed of NDCP-aware devices and non-NDCP aware SpW-10X routing switches, which was then extended to handle SpaceFibre networks and more models of non-NDCP aware devices. Directions of its further development for Time-Sensitive Networking are also outlined.
