1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,990 So our network is working. 2 00:00:03,130 --> 00:00:09,290 So we've integrated the NPM VM with our genius 3D topology. 3 00:00:09,310 --> 00:00:12,910 We have tested IP connectivity. 4 00:00:12,990 --> 00:00:17,360 So now we can connect to NPM and log in. 5 00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:22,120 So your role to use these local host colon eighty seven eighty seven. 6 00:00:22,530 --> 00:00:28,920 Or alternatively the hostname of your P.C. the default username is admin. 7 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,790 The default password is no password. 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,010 In other words blank. 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:41,240 That's shown here and you can change that by going to Settings Manage accounts. 10 00:00:41,340 --> 00:00:44,190 I'm going to log in with those default values. 11 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,010 And now we can start our network discovery. 12 00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:58,900 Suddenly click start we can discover devices by using a small subnet such as Slash 24 or by specifying 13 00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:00,970 individual IP addresses. 14 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:09,840 I'm going to add a range of addresses so 10 dot one dot one hundred or one to ten dot 1 dot 100 dot 15 00:01:09,850 --> 00:01:10,300 16 00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:18,040 when I click Next I'll make this a bit bigger so it's easier to read 17 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:29,990 next week told that NPM can check all nodes currently polling with agents for updates by selecting this 18 00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:30,380 option. 19 00:01:30,380 --> 00:01:35,320 All nodes currently polling via an agent will be pulled for updates. 20 00:01:35,390 --> 00:01:41,900 The setting is helpful when using scheduled discovery to keep agent updates current. 21 00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:51,030 So going to select that option and click next do we want to log into E6 SAI So we can poll VM way and 22 00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:53,850 add our V.S. or ASX credentials. 23 00:01:53,850 --> 00:02:01,980 I'm going to click next now by default as an MP or simple network management protocol will use a public 24 00:02:02,070 --> 00:02:06,210 and private community value for accessing devices. 25 00:02:06,210 --> 00:02:09,560 Now we configured our routers 26 00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:19,480 so show run pipe include is an MP with a community value of NPM. 27 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:22,070 So we need to add a new credential here 28 00:02:25,690 --> 00:02:36,600 the value is going to be NPM click add so there it is click Next we can add windows credentials if we 29 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,410 want to allow solar winds. 30 00:02:39,410 --> 00:02:47,490 NPM to collect CPSU memory and volume data from Windows servers that don't support as an MP. 31 00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:51,200 For now I'm not going to do that I'm going to click next. 32 00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:57,620 We asked how we would like to setup what to monitor so manually setup monitoring of the devices are 33 00:02:57,620 --> 00:03:04,430 discovered or automatically monitor based on my defined monitoring settings. 34 00:03:04,490 --> 00:03:13,170 I'm going to leave it at the default of manual click Next now at any point you can go back through the 35 00:03:13,170 --> 00:03:21,920 wizard so at the moment I'm at Discovery settings I could click back to go to monitoring settings so 36 00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:33,090 as an example I might want to include devices that respond to pings alone click next details of my discovery 37 00:03:33,090 --> 00:03:34,320 are shown here. 38 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:41,640 I'm going to accept the defaults and click Next I'm asked how often I want to do the polling that could 39 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,400 be hourly daily or other options. 40 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,590 I'm going to select once only and I want to run the Discovery right now. 41 00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:57,360 So click discover the discovery process is then started and you can see here at three nodes have been 42 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,390 discovered. 43 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:08,540 You can see the overall progress indicator so at this point three rorters were discovered and one Windows 44 00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:11,100 7 workstation was discovered. 45 00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:20,470 Click Next now which interfaces should be monitored by default up interfaces a monitored the port mode 46 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:27,670 of trunk access or unknown is going to be monitored and physical virtual and unknown interfaces are 47 00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:37,220 going to be monitored we can see a list of interfaces so as an example on to one foster Ethernet 0 0 48 00:04:37,370 --> 00:04:41,600 is up but fast ethernet one slash 0 is down. 49 00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:49,520 So my various interfaces including serial interfaces are shown here are the interfaces are also listed 50 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,400 such as null 0 as well as the loop back interfaces of the devices. 51 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:04,770 As an example show IP interface brief on route a one shows a list of interfaces so you can see the first 52 00:05:05,310 --> 00:05:14,840 Ethan interfaces and several interfaces so that interface information is being picked up by the solar 53 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:23,950 winds NPM application click next on my P.C. I can view RAM Virtual memory. 54 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,700 Fixed disk space and other options. 55 00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:31,020 Is the import preview so we can decide what we want to import. 56 00:05:31,070 --> 00:05:36,500 I'm going to import my routers as well as the Windows machine and you can see that information has now 57 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:40,550 been imported into the database. 58 00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:46,990 The import has finished so I'm going to click finish so going to my dashboards. 59 00:05:46,990 --> 00:05:58,430 Summary I can see that I have three Cisco routers Rado 1 Rider 2 and rather 3 60 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,170 and unknown devices also been picked up. 61 00:06:04,170 --> 00:06:08,010 That is the additional IP address on my local windows. 62 00:06:08,010 --> 00:06:15,890 P.S. I can also see that I have issues connecting to Google dot com as an example. 63 00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:26,470 So let's click on one of the writers wrote a 1 you can see the nodes up can see the IP address machine 64 00:06:26,470 --> 00:06:35,070 type description and other information about the Rada including as an example. 65 00:06:35,070 --> 00:06:36,920 Interface utilization. 66 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,150 That's how you get NPM integrated with a genus 3 network. 67 00:06:42,150 --> 00:06:47,700 Not only is NPM a very powerful application and we'll look at some of the features as we go through 68 00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:55,110 the course but it also helps you learn practically simple network management protocol and the management 69 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,870 of network devices using a management station.
