Reference Manual for the ProSafe Network Management System NMS100

Polling TCP Application Services

ProSafe NMS supports customized polling of any TCP application service and simplified polling of four built-in TCP application services (FTP, SMTP, Web, and Telnet).

Discovery of Four Built-in Services

ProSafe NMS polling agents can automatically check for the existence of the built-in TCP services on discovered devices and configures these services to be polled.

Use the Proto tab of the Config/Discovery- Polling dialog to enable discovery of the four built-in services.

TCP Service Polling

1.To enable TCP service polling for a device, right- click the device object in a Map view and use the Properties menu then select the Attributes tab.

Select the TCP Services attribute.

2.Use the Value pulldown list to select one of the available TCP services (*Ftp, *Telnet, *Smtp, *Web and custom names).

3.To select multiple services for the device, type in the service names in the Value edit box, separated by commas. For example: “*Ftp,*Web”.

4.Alternatively, double-click the TCP Services attribute, or use the “>>” button, to select multiple services.
