Chapter 4 Modifying IPM Components
Managed Source Interface Settings
On Solaris systems:
Step 1 Edit the file ipm.env in the /opt/CSCOipm/etc directory
The default directory for installing IPM is /opt. If you installed IPM in a different directory, you must
specify that directory instead of /opt.
Step 2 Change the value of IPM_NVRAM_ENABLE to 1(default set to 0)
set IPM_NVRAM_ENABLE=1
Step 3 Restart the IPM server by entering ipm restart at the command line.
If you have set the IPM_NVRAM_ENABLE to 1 and also if you have saved the IPM Collector SAAs in
the startup configuration, the SAA instances corresponding to IPM collectors gets reconfigured
automatically at the time of router reboot.
Managed Source Interface Settings
A Managed Interface is the address of the source.
When you add a source, the IP address of the specific router is called the Managed Interface address.
To set the source interface address as the managed interface address, you must do the following:
On Windows systems:
Step 1 Edit the file ipm.env in the C:\Program Files\Internetwork Performance Monitor\Server\etc folder
Step 2 Change the value of IPM_USE_MANAGED_SRC_INTF_ADDR to 1
(default set to 0).
IPM_USE_MANAGED_SRC_INTF_ADDR=1
The default directory to install IPM is C:\Program Files\
Internetwork Performance Monitor\. If you installed IPM in a different directory, you must specify that
directory instead of C:\
Program Files\Internetwork Performance Monitor\.
Step 3 Restart the IPM server by entering ipm restart at the command line.
On Solaris systems:
Step 1 Edit the file ipm.env in the /opt/CSCOipm/etc directory
The default directory to install IPM is /opt. If you installed IPM in a different directory, you must specify
that directory instead of /opt.
Step 2 Change the value of IPM_USE_MANAGED_SRC_INTF_ADDR to 1 (default set to 0)
IPM_USE_MANAGED_SRC_INTF_ADDR=1
