Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices

Configuring the Discovered Elements

Network Health sets the speed for discovered elements when it polls the unit for the first time. For a FrameSaver FLEX unit, the speed set would be the unit's CIR. No additional configuration should be required. However, you should verify that all appropriate information has been retrieved.

NOTE:

If an FLEX unit does not have CIR configured, or if it is not configured correctly, Network Health sets the unit's CIR to 0 kbps. For this reason, you should reconfigure the unit's CIR before Network Health polls it. If 0 kbps is the speed setting, you will need to edit the unit's CIR from Network Health.

Additional information that can be edited, as well. See Discovering Elements in the Network Health User Guide for additional information.

"Procedure

To change the CIR for FrameSaver FLEX unit elements from Network Health:

1.Select the Edit Before Saving button at the bottom of the Discovering dialog box once the discovery process is completed.

The Poller Configuration window opens.

2.Double-click on the first element discovered. The Modify Element dialog box opens.

3.In the Speed box, select the Override radio button and enter the CIR for the unit in the text box.

Letters k and m can be used as shortcuts (e.g., enter 56 k for 56 kilobits per second, or 16 m for 16 Mbits per second).

4.Apply your changes:

ÐSelect the Apply/Next button to save your change and bring up the next element to be edited. Continue until all newly discovered frame relay elements have been modified before selecting the OK button.

ÐSelect the the OK button.

The Modify Element dialog box closes.

5.Select the OK button at the bottom of the Poller Configuration window. The modified elements are saved to the database, and the units are polled.

Allow Network Health to continue polling for about a half an hour to allow time for data to be gathered before running any reports.
