Configuring the Discovered Elements
Network Health sets the speed for discovered elements when it polls the unit for
the first time. For a FrameSaver DSL unit, the speed set would be the unit’s CIR.
No additional configuration should be required. However, you should verify that all
appropriate information has been retrieved.
NOTE:
If a FrameSaver unit does not have CIR configured, or if it is not configured
correctly, Network Health sets the unit’s CIR to 0 kbps. For this reason, you
should reconfigure the unit’s CIR before Network Health polls it. If 0 kbps is
the speed setting, you will need to edit the unit’s CIR from Network Health.
Additional information that can be edited, as well. See
Discovering Elements in
the
Network Health User Guide for additional information.
" Procedure
To change the CIR for FrameSaver DSL unit elements from Network Health:
1. Select the Edit Before Saving button at the bottom of the Discovering
dialog box once the discovery process is completed.
The Poller Configuration window opens.
2. Double-click on the first element discovered. The Modify Element dialog box
opens.
3. In the Speed box, select the Override radio button and enter the CIR for the
unit in the text box.
Letters k and m can be used as shortcuts (e.g., enter 56 k for 56 kilobits
per second, or 16 m for 16 Mbits per second).
4. Apply your changes:
— Select the Apply/Next button to save your change and bring up the next
element to be edited. Continue until all newly discovered frame relay
elements have been modified before selecting the OK button.
— Select the the OK button.
The Modify Element dialog box closes.
5. Select the OK button at the bottom of the Poller Configuration window. The
modified elements are saved to the database, and the units are polled.
Allow Network Health to continue polling for about a half an hour to allow time for
data to be gathered before running any reports.
