9032585 E1 The RingView Modeling Process
2-3
Mapping with Non-Manageable Devices
Editing GenTRStn_NM Information
communication with the modeled device; thus there is no way for RingView to
determine the identity of the device’s upstream neighbor. In fact, for a non-
manageable device, RingView can ascertain nothing beyond the MAC address.
Editing GenTRStn_NM Information
Even though non-manageable devices can present problems as far as fully
automatic mapping is concerned, you can easily circumvent these problems by
manually providing additional information and then running RingView again.
You provide the information by editing the GenTRStn_NM model’s
Configuration view, which is selectable from the Icon Subviews menu when
the GenTRStn_NM icon is highlighted.
Figure 2-1 shows how the Configuration view would look in a scenario where
RingView has created the GenTRStn_NM model without access to a station
list:, the view displays the correct MAC address for the device itself and a
default MAC address for its upstream neighbor. In this case, you would enter
the actual MAC address for the upstream neighbor.
Figure 2-1. Configuration View for GenTRStn_NM Model
After saving your edits to the GenTRStn_NM model’s Configuration view (by
selecting File > Save All Changes ), you would then run RingView’s Manual
Discovery option against the LAN as described in Chapter 3. The additional
information provided by your edits will allow RingView to re-map the ring and
generate a more comprehensive topology.
