AlliedView NMS Installation Guide (Installation Steps - Overview)
8. Use the Discovery Config-
urator to Prepare for the
Discovery Process Select Tools -> Discover Configurator to
bring up the Discovery Configurator Win-
dow. Then follow the tabs:
- General Attributes
- Protocol (always SNMP only)
- Network Discovery (Networks and Masks)
- Node Discovery (optional)
Refer to the Administration Guide, Section 3
The Discovery Configurator
is used to configure the
attributes of the discovery
process, and so it is critical
that these be set up correctly.
9. Use the Security Adminis-
trator Set up NMS users with passwords and scope of
control.
Refer to the Administration Guide, Section 4.
10. Import Link Profiles Create an excel spreadsheet and place it in
<NMS Home>\state
.
Refer to the Administration Guide, Section
6.7.3.
Since the physical link configu-
ration for an existing network
can be large and complex, the
Network VLAN Manager can
have an Excel spreadsheet of the
physical links imported. This
will populate the Physical Net-
work map, and any existing Net-
work VLANs that use those
links will be configured.
11. Set Device Attributes Refer to the Administration Guide, Section 5.
12. Configure Applications Refer to the Administration Guide, Sections 5
and 6. With all devices discovered and
being monitored, it is now possi-
ble to configure applications
such as VLANs, HVLANs, and
Network VLANs.
13. Perform a AlliedView
NMS Backup Make a backup of both the AlliedView NMS
file, the database, and devices
Refer to the Administration Guide, Section 3.4,
and Section 5.
Do this on a schedule to ensure
whenever changes due to Steps
11 and 12 are captured and
archived.
