1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:08,310 The following videos showing you the integration between genius 3 and NPM are based on this how to guide 2 00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:11,110 which you can get from the below links. 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:18,090 This may be useful to you after you've attended the training so if you want to setup NPM and June 3 4 00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:25,350 refer back to this guide which contains a lot of information including how to install both genius 3 5 00:00:25,350 --> 00:00:33,940 and NPM how to create the initial topology the commands used on the routers including commands such 6 00:00:33,940 --> 00:00:40,780 as setting up an MP setting up the IP addresses and configuring EAI GOP. 7 00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:48,370 I'll also include the commands on the riders on the relevant video in this training but you may find 8 00:00:48,430 --> 00:00:52,610 the integration guide to be of benefit to you for reference later. 9 00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,120 In the next few videos I'm going to show you how to build a topology within genus 3 that consists of 10 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,380 three routers connected via serial interfaces. 11 00:01:04,410 --> 00:01:10,620 These are going to be the interfaces monitored by Network Performance Monitor the three Cisco routers 12 00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:14,790 are connected to a switch which in turn is connected to NPM. 13 00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:18,590 This is out of band network management subnet. 14 00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:23,730 You don't need a dedicated network for management but in this example that's the way we're going to 15 00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:25,490 configure it. 16 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,280 Ingenious three there are multiple ways to setup your Cisco routers. 17 00:01:30,450 --> 00:01:37,650 You can either run cisco IOW routers directly within Windows using what's called the local server or 18 00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:45,080 you can use a virtual box films or a VM where VMS it's up to you which method to use. 19 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:53,100 The recommendation is that if you are only going to have Cisco routers and other basic devices such 20 00:01:53,100 --> 00:02:01,380 as the built in Ethernet switches ingenious 3 you can run genius 3 locally on your local windows P.C. 21 00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:02,020 or Mac. 22 00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:09,930 However if you want to run more complex typologies using iris layer two or other more complex setups 23 00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:17,070 then you're going to want to use the genius 3 VM please refer to the genius 3 installation videos for 24 00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:25,450 more detail on how to setup and integrate genius 3 so in this example I have a Windows 7 professional 25 00:02:25,490 --> 00:02:33,190 or virtual machine running within a VM where workstation I've allocated for gig of ram to the 64 bit 26 00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:41,950 operating system and I've allocated to cause so on the settings of a VM where workstation you can see 27 00:02:41,950 --> 00:02:49,820 that 4 gig of ram has been allocated at the moment only one processor has been allocated. 28 00:02:49,820 --> 00:02:52,080 Now some recommendations from solar winds. 29 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:59,410 You can run NPM on Windows 7 Windows 8 dot 1 and Windows 10. 30 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:05,360 It suggested that you used to cause and 4 gigs of ram as the bare minimum. 31 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:13,130 It is better however to use 80 giga RAM and full cores but as a bare minimum use to cause and 4 gigs 32 00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:21,100 of ram so in this example I'm going to shut down my virtual machine and I'm going to increase the amount 33 00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:29,290 of RAM and CCU so that it's a lot quicker when I do the demonstrations. 34 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:38,020 Now that's obviously dependent on what you have available on your P.C. but I'll set it to use for processor 35 00:03:38,020 --> 00:03:47,130 cores and 8 giga RAM and I'll power on the virtual machine again now something I always do and this 36 00:03:47,130 --> 00:03:54,800 is up to you but I always create snapshots of my virtual machines in case something goes wrong 37 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:06,230 so I've created a snapshot with for example a new install of Windows 7 with Chrome installed and that's 38 00:04:06,230 --> 00:04:12,020 where I am at the moment virtual machine is saying that I need to restart so I'll do that here. 39 00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:26,750 So what I'm simply doing here is getting Windows 7 ready so that I can install NPM. 40 00:04:26,770 --> 00:04:36,340 You may also want to download windows 2012 so as an example you can download a v HD file and then import 41 00:04:36,370 --> 00:04:42,730 that into a virtual box if you want to run NPM on Windows Server 2012.
