Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices

Discovering FrameSaver Elements

Once licenses are entered and you have access to the applications, the Discover dialog box opens. Use this dialog box to search for SLV units in your network and discover their DLCIs. Saving the results of the search creates definitions in the Poller Configuration, which are used to poll the units.

IP addresses and the Community String for the FrameSaver units must be entered for Network Health to find the SLV units on the network and discover their elements. These elements are resources that can be polled (e.g., LAN/WAN interfaces, frame relay circuits, routers, and servers).

The two types of elements that can be polled are:

HStatistics elements ± Provide counters and other gauges for information gathered about your network for statistical and trend analysis.

HConversation elements ± Provide RMON2 and similar data for information gathered about network traffic between nodes.

"Procedure

To find SLV device elements in your network:

1.Select the LAN/WAN radio button to specify the element type to be found. Network Health treats frame relay element discovery as a WAN element type.

2.Enter the IP Addresses of the SLV units to be located, and the Community String (Community Name in the FrameSaver unit). The Community String is case-sensitive.

3.Select the Discover button.

The Discover dialog box closes and the Discovering dialog box opens, showing the results of the discovery process.

A message indicates the number of elements discovered and the number of existing elements updated when the discovery process is complete. Depending upon the number of units entered and the size of your network, it could take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or longer to discover all elements in the network.

See Discovering Elements in the Network Health User Guide for additional information and to learn how to schedule automatic element discovery updates to the database.
