6 Additional Configuration Notes
This section includes additional configuration steps that you may want to perform on your system. It contains the following topics:
•Configuring Your System for SNMP Queries
•Configuring Virus-Detection Software to Enable Alerts
•Configuring CDP
•Backing Up and Restoring the Cisco netManager Database
Configuring Your System for SNMP Queries
Cisco netManager implements the system application MIB. If you want to use a third-party SNMP management tool to make SNMP queries against the server where Cisco netManager is installed, Windows SNMP service must be installed.
Note To improve security, the SNMP set operation is not allowed on any object ID (OID) in the system application MIB. After installing Cisco netManager, you should modify the credentials for Windows SNMP service to not use a default or well-known community string.
It is recommended that you install Windows SNMP service before you install Cisco netManager.
Use this procedure to determine whether Windows SNMP service is installed.
Step 1 Verify that Windows SNMP service is installed on the server where you will install Cisco netManager. To do so:
a. Open the Windows administrative tool Services window.
b. Verify the following:
–SNMP Service is displayed on the Windows administrative tool Services window; if so, Windows SNMP service is installed.
–SNMP service status is Started; if so, SNMP service is running.
Step 2 If Windows SNMP service is not installed, install it.
Note Windows online help provides instructions for adding and removing Windows components, such as Windows SNMP service. To locate the instructions, try selecting the Index tab in Windows online help and entering a keyword or phrase, such as install SNMP service.
Configuring Virus-Detection Software to Enable Alerts
Problems may occur if your antivirus software scans outgoing e-mail and you enable Cisco netManager to send alerts via e-mail. To avoid these problems, disable the antivirus outgoing scans completely or for specific ports that you wish to use. For example, if you are using the Cisco netManager notification filtering feature and have McAfee virus-detection software installed on your system, follow the procedure described below to enable e-mail alerts.
Step 1 Launch the McAfee console.
Step 2 Select Task > Properties.
Step 3 Select the Port Blocking tab.
Step 4 Under Rules, uncheck Prevent mass mailing worms from sending mail.
Configuring CDP
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) must be enabled on a device in order for its network connections to display in the Physical Connectivity topology view. CDP is a media- and protocol-independent device-discovery protocol that runs on all Cisco-manufactured equipment including routers, access servers, bridges, and switches. Using CDP, a device can advertise its existence to other devices and receive information about other devices on the same LAN or on the remote side of a WAN. CDP is enabled by default on Cisco routers. For more information, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk962/technologies_tech_note09186a00801aa000.shtml.
Backing Up and Restoring the Cisco netManager Database
Database backup and restore are available through the Cisco netManager console (Tools > Database Utilities). The console is only available from the server where Cisco netManager is installed (Start > All Programs > Cisco netManager 1.1 > Cisco netManager 1.1 Discovery).
7 Where to Go Next
To quickly start using Cisco netManager 1.1, you should do the following:
1. Launch the Web Interface
2. Discover Devices
3. View Network Data
4. Set Up Actions
Launch the Web Interface
You can connect to the Cisco netManager 1.1 web interface from any browser by entering its web address. This web address consists of the hostname of the Cisco netManager 1.1 host and the web server port number. The default port number is 80.
For example, if your Cisco netManager 1.1 host is named monitor1.cisco.com, then the web address is http://monitor1.cisco.com:80.
Note When you use the default port number (80), you do not have to include the port number in the address.
There are two default users on the web server:
•Administrator (username: admin; password: admin)
•Guest (username: guest; password: <password box left blank>
For more information about user privileges, see Chapter 1, "Managing Users" in the User Guide for Cisco netManager.
To change the default administrator password:
Step 1 From the web interface, click GO > Configure > Preferences....
Step 2 Click Change your password.
Discover Devices
There are several ways to add devices to Cisco netManager 1.1:
•Manually add devices using their IP addresses or hostnames.
•Automatically detect network devices (workstations, servers, routers, hubs, and so on), scan those devices for services, and select the devices that you want to manage, using the Device Discovery Wizard.
•Imports multiple devices using a seed file.
Note SNMPv1 must be enabled on a device in order for CnM to discover the devices correctly.
For more information, see Chapter 2, "Managing Devices" in the User Guide for Cisco netManager.
View Network Data
Begin viewing your network using the following tools:
•Topology Views
–Service Level View — displays a logical topology view of your Cisco Unified Communications network.
Note The Service Level View is available only if you have purchased a license that monitors Unified Communications devices.
–Physical Connectivity View — gives you a visual representation of all physical devices and connections in your network. This view gives a quick snapshot of your entire network including its overall health.
For more information on topology views, see Chapter 4, "Using Topology Views" in the User Guide for Cisco netManager.
–Workspaces—Contain multiple views that let you organize workspace content by the type of information they display. For more information on workspaces, see Chapter 3, "Understanding Workspaces and Workspace Content" in the User Guide for Cisco netManager.
–Reports—Used to troubleshoot and monitor performance and historical data that has been collected during the operation of the application. These reports can help you troubleshoot problem areas on your network and give you easy access to important network information. For more information on topology views, see Chapter 11, "Using Reports" in the User Guide for Cisco netManager.
Set Up Actions
After selecting devices, configure actions that will notify you when changes occur on the monitored devices. For more information, see Chapter 6, "Using Actions" in the User Guide for Cisco netManager.
