Configuring SNMP SmartAgents on Devices 2-5
The following steps must be followed when installing distributed pollers:
1 Install the Transcend ATM and VLAN Management application on the
central machine on top of an open management platform such a HPOV.
In a distributed polling environment, this machine is the Central Viewing
Station or Central Management Console
or
install the Transcend ATM and VLAN Management application as a
stand-alone application, on other Unix machines (Solaris, AIX or HPUX).
An open management platform is not required. In a distributed polling
environment these machines are referred to as polling stations or pollers.
These machines do not require an open management platform such as
HPOV installed on them.
2 On the polling station, start the polling process:
a Change Directory to /usr/NCDNMS/make/
b Execute the file “medp.”
It is advised to include these steps in the boot configuration of the polling
station so that they are executed automatically when the polling station is
booted up.
3 Configure the ATM and VLAN Management application on the central
management station to recognize the distributed pollers and delegate
polling responsibilities to each poller.
Before starting the application, edit the following file:
/usr/NCDNMS/runtime/cnf/mediationd.cnf
Each line in the /usr/NCDNMS/runtime/cnf/mediationd.cnf consists of
three fields, each separated by a colon. The upper lines in the files take
priority over the lower lines.
This customization of this file can be performed using the NMS
Setup Wizard.
The first field is the range of the IP addresses that devices will be polled
from. The second field is the poller IP address. The third field represents
the socket port number communication port. The default number for the
socket port is 1161
