Note:

1. Remember to wait for at least one minute for the devices to be imported. Also, remember to refresh the NAM list page to view the latest

list of NAMs in Cisco PVM.

2. When using a user-defined csv file to do the import, it is critical to include the header line. Without the header, Cisco PVM cannot

make sense of the values in the file.

3. Through the GUI, Cisco PVM does not allow the user to add a Switch/Router without adding a NAM. Through the import facility, you

can add Switches that have a NAM associated while not adding the NAM through the same import file. So you can add switches and

routers separately from the NAMs which they host, but they should have a NAM configured.

Datasource Group (DSG) Creation

Once NAMs have been imported or added in Cisco PVM, the datasources for these NAMs are automatically discovered by Cisco PVM. For

Cisco PVM to aggregate and correlate the traffic statistics from these various datasources, you have to group these datasources into a logical

grouping called Datasource Groups (DSGs). All traffic analysis functionality is dependant on these groupings. This section explains the process

in more detail.

Click the Setup Tab and then on the DSG menu item. The NAM list is displayed.

Click Add to add a DSG.
