The pre-defined argument list provided lists the argument symbols for data NetSight

TIP Element Manager can extract from the central node database for any node against which the selected executable will be launched. Using these symbols allows you to configure a Node Class that can be used for many individual devices. You can also choose to enter specific argument information in the Argument List field (such as a specific community name instead of %C, the symbol representing community name information stored in the database); note, however, that this restricts the use of the Node Class you are configuring to nodes which match the specific argument value you have entered.

3.In the Argument List field, add any flags or other command line elements required or permitted by your selected executable. For example, Chassis Manager knows that a /i flag indicates that an IP address will follow; /c indicates that a community name value will follow. (See below for a list of the flags recognized by some common NetSight Element Manager applications.)

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 above to add additional arguments as desired. Note

that the Build window automatically adds a space (“ “) between each argument you add.

5.If you want any arguments deleted from the field, delete them from the Argument List field or from the Arguments list box; any deletion in one field will automatically be reflected in the other.

6.When the argument list contains all of the arguments you need, click OK. The Arguments field of the Node Class page will contain the argument list you have created.

Information NetSight Element Manager can extract about a selected node from the central node database includes:

%I	inserts Device IP from database
%O	inserts Device’s sysOID from database
%N	inserts Device Name from database
%C	inserts Community Name from database
%H	inserts the window handle value of the active window

Flags accepted by executables located in \NetSight Element Manager x.x\bin include the following:

chmgr32.exe	Chassis Manager application for device management
	/i=<ip address>
	/c=<community string>
	/p=<.dmf or .mmp file> (for SmartSwitch/MultiSwitch chassis view)
	/f=<ip address> /c=<community string> (in conjunction with a .dmf or
	.mmp file, allows users to select from among those files which contain
	the noted IP address)
