Loading Profiles
When you load a profile, the load process uses the resource_file_path
parameter in your ss/.vnmrc file as the root path in its search for the specified
profile.
By default, this parameter is set to the /<Spectrum_Install_Area>/SS/
CsResource directory. Cabletron supplies an RMON_Profiles directory in this
area, where you can find sample profiles and also store your custom profiles.
To load a profile, follow these steps:
1. Select the Profile Load/Unload View from the RMONApp model’s Icon
Subviews menu.
2. In the Profile File field, enter the path specification followed by your
profile’s name. Note that the path specification must be relative to the
resource_file_path parameter specified in the ss/.vnmrc file. The following
example shows the correct syntax for the default configuration:
RMON_Profiles/<profile_name>
3. Ignore the OwnerString field. This field will be updated with information
from the profile during the profile load process.
4. In the Errorlog field, enter a name for the error log file. This file will
contain error log entries that occur during the profile load process. See the
following section, Problems When Loading Profiles, for additional
information about the error log file.
5. You must save your Profile View changes prior to loading, or they will
have no effect. Click the right mouse button, or select Save All Changes
from the File menu, and click OK in the dialog box that appears.
6. Click on Load Profile.
The message “Profile processing completed” indicates the profile has been
evaluated and the agent has been loaded with the control table information.
You can now go to any updated RMON group and view the new configuration.
If the message “Error accessing file” appears, close the message box and verify
the accuracy of pathnames and file permissions. If you make any changes, be
sure to save the updated information as described in Step 5.
