Registering an Exporter
After you have configured a device to send traffic flow information to OpenManage Network
Manager, you must still register it as a traffic flow exporter in order for these flows to be processed.
To register a device, follow these steps:
1 From either the Managed Resources portlet, right-click on the appropriate device.
2 Select Traffic Flow Analyzer > Register. This menu item will only be available if the device is
not already registered, which means that the TFA Registered column should show an X.
3 A message will confirm that the registration succeeded and also the TFA Registered column
should display a check mark indicating that the device is registered for TFA.
4 The system should then be ready to accept and process flow data from the device. If a device
is not registered, the Register option appears in the menu.
Unregistering an Exporter
To unregister a device, follow these steps:
1 From the Managed Resources portlet, right-click on the appropriate device.
2 Select Traffic Flow Analyzer > UnRegister. This menu item will only be available if the
device is already registered, which means that the TFA Registered column should show a
check mark.
3 A message will confirm that the unregistration succeeded and also the TFA Registered
column should display an X indicating that the device is not registered for TFA.
4 The system will then not process any flows that are received from this device. It is
recommended to remove the configuration from this device as well.
