Setting up a Device

The process of setting of a network device for monitoring is done in a very intuitive and easy to use ‘Configuration Wizard’ with five simple steps. ‘Next’ and ‘Previous’ buttons are provided for navigation within the wizard.

Step 1. Specifying Devices.

This step involves specifying the devices you wish to monitor. Devices that are set up together will all contain the same configuration. If you want devices with different configurations they should be set up through the wizard separately.

You can add devices in one of three ways:

A.Enter the Name and IP Address of each device you want to monitor and click ‘add’. To add a number of devices this can be done repeatedly.

B.You can create a text file containing all the devices and their IP addresses. You can then ‘browse’ to this file in the wizard and click ‘Upload’ to load all the devices. Each line of the import file should have the device name followed by a space and an IP address, followed by a carriage return. Make especially sure that the last line ends with a carriage return.

Sample Import File Format Router1600 192.168.34.9 Router3200 192.168.34.2 Router3202 192.168.34.5

C.Auto Discovery: Given a starting IP address and appropriate community strings NetWatch will automatically discover your network and allow you to add devices found as NetWatch devices. You can choose either CDP or route table discovery or use both together. The discovery can be filtered by using multiple IP range or Network filters.
