2.4.2.3 Agent Manager

All of the IP DSLAM agents that are to be managed by the IDL Manager must be “registered” to the system. The “registration” process is to make the system aware of agent’s IP address and alias name. Once an agent is registered, it is put into the “demount” agent pool, which is still “inactive” for the network monitor. You then have to activate it if you want it to be monitored. An active agent can also be deactivated from the monitor for certain operational purpose when necessary. Agent Manager is designed for you to perform these operations.
