Chapter 4 Modifying IPM Components

Working With Target Devices

Adding a New Source Device

Before you can use a source for a collector, you must add the source to IPM.

You can optionally, verify that the SNMP read community and write community strings are configured properly on the source. Also, if you want to receive traps at your network management system (NMS), verify that the router is configured to send SA Agent-generated traps to your NMS. IPM itself does not receive traps.

For information about configuring SNMP on the source, see the “Configuring Your Routers to Send SA Agent-Related Traps” section in the “Preparing to Install” chapter of the Installation Guide for Internetwork Performance Monitor.

For information about adding a new source device, see Defining a Source Device

Deleting Source Devices

You can delete source devices you no longer need. You can delete more than one source device at a time.

Note If a source device has been configured as part of one or more collectors, you must delete the collectors before you can delete the source device.

To delete a source device:

Step 1 From the Source Configuration window (Figure 2-3), select the source device or sources you want to delete.

Step 2 Click Delete.

The confirmation box appears,

Step 3 Click Yes.

The selected source routers are deleted from the IPM database.

Working With Target Devices

IPM targets are destination devices for which you want to gather network performance statistics. A target can be any IP-addressable device, a Cisco device running the SA Agent Responder, or an SNA host.

Note The SA Agent Responder is supported only in Cisco IOS 12.1(2)T or later. We strongly recommend that you use software release 12.1 or later.
