The setup program will proceed to install the Polling Agent on your
system. After the installation is complete, logoff from Windows NT
and then logon again. The Polling Agent will be started and it will
automatically connect to the SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise server.
Using a Distributed System
There are two main differences in a distributed system:
1. You can login to the server from any workstation by using the
Programs/SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise/Login to Remote Server command
from the Windows NT Start menu. You must enter the Server IP
Address at the login prompt.
2. You will need to reconfigure discovery for the original (local) polling
agent, and configure the new polling agent, so that each agent will
discover and poll an independent subset of your network.
To set the discovery and polling domain for each agent, use the
Config/Discovery Pollers menu to edit polling agent properties. Select the
Filters property page tab. For each agent, select the agent IP address from
the Agents list and perform the following steps:
•
Press the Add button to add an IP or IPX address filter.
•
Enter an IP or IPX address pattern. A pattern contains numbers,
characters, and asterisk wild card characters.
•
Select the IP radio button for an IP address, or select the IPX radio
button for an IPX address.
•
Select the Include radio button to include addresses that match the
pattern, or select the Exclude radio button to exclude addresses that
match the pattern.
After you have entered the filters for each agent, select both agents and
press the Reset Discovery button. This will cause both agents to discard
their local data and discover their respectively assigned management
domains. If some devices have already been added to the map, they will
not be automatically reassigned to a different agent. You must either
delete those devices or manually modify their Polling Agent attribute.
