Chapter 4 Getting Started

Discovering Your Network

Access the Node

You use the MWTM to link to the node by using the connection protocol (Telnet or SSH) that you set in the Node SNMP and Credentials dialog box (see Credentials Fields, page 3-21).

To access the node, right-click a node in a window, then choose Node > Connect to from the right-click menu.

Note If your client workstation does not have network access to the IP address of the node (that is, if the node is behind a firewall or NAT device), you might be unable to access the node.

Starting the MWTM Client on Windows

To start the MWTM client on a Windows system, choose Start > Programs > Cisco MWTM Client > Launch MWTM Client, or double-click the MWTM Client icon on the Windows desktop.

Discovery Overview

The MWTM uses a Discovery process to populate the MWTM database, discovering the objects in your network.

You can run Discovery if MWTM User-Based Access is disabled; or, if it is enabled, and you are a Network Administrator or System Administrator. (For more information about user authorization levels in the MWTM, see Configuring MWTM User Account Levels (Server Only), page 2-5.)

To discover your network:

Step 1 Start the MWTM client, as described in Starting the MWTM Client, page 4-2.

Step 2 If you want to change SNMP settings, do so before running Discovery. See Configuring SNMP Settings, page 3-15for more information.

Step 3 If you want to discover ONS nodes and did not choose the option to discover your network during installation, you must add the ONS nodes and set the credentials before running discovery (see Adding Nodes, page 3-22for more information.)

Step 4 Choose Network > Network Discovery from the MWTM main menu. The MWTM displays the Discovery dialog box. See Launching the Discovery Dialog, page 4-6for more information.
