3.2.8.1 Setting up Discovery - Procedure
The tabs in the Discovery Configurator from right to left are the sequence that should be followed when setting up discovery.
The following procedure should be done when the NMS has just been installed and the server has not been started.
1. Open up the standalone Discovery Configurator (using the DiscoveryConfigurator executable)
2. Follow the tab sequence and set up the criteria for initial discovery, including schedule, global and per-device SNMP
communities, CLI logins, Network Discovery, and Node Discovery. Use the Other Discovery tab to add any other
devices that are not ATI devices supported by the NMS.
3. Save the changes and exit the Discovery Configurator.
4. Start the NMS server.
5. Bring up an NMS client.
6. As networks/device are initially discovered, they appear in the various GUIs for the NMS. Rediscovery is then deter-
mined by the schedule set in the Schedule tab.
With the networks/nodes now discovered and the NMS active, the administrator may need to change the discovery configu-
ration. In this scenario, you would bring up the Discovery Configurator and make any changes. When the Save Changes
button is selected, the changes will take effect depending on the what is set in the schedule tab. If you wish for the changes to
occur immediately, you will need to stop and then restart the server.
