The Management Engine (ME) 1100 Series is a network appliance that performs distributed data collection and aggregation functions for SLM. You must first install and configure your ME 1100 Series on your network. Refer to Installing and Configuring the Management Engine 1100 Series, which shipped with your ME 1100 Series.
Configuring your ME 1100 Series is a multistep process that requires setting up the ME 1100 Series running configuration file and also using the SLM administrative framework. Before you can set up SLCs for monitoring, you must perform the steps described in Table 3-1.
For complete instructions, refer to Using Service Level Manager.
| Step | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
1. Install the ME 1100 Series. | Install and configure the ME 1100 Series on your network. | Installing and Configuring the Management Engine 1100 Series |
2. Set up slmuser username and password on ME 1100 Series.1 | Add the slmuser account to the ME 1100 Series configuration by entering the following: # username slmuser password password privilege 15 where password is the password for the slmuser account. | Installing and Configuring the Management Engine 1100 Series |
3. Register ME 1100 Series with DNS | It is recommended that you register the ME 1100 Series with the DNS server. | Installing and Configuring the Management Engine 1100 Series |
4. Verify DNS is working on ME 1100 Series. | From the ME 1100 Series command prompt, enter nslookup hostname, where hostname is the DNS name of a host registered in DNS. | Installing and Configuring the Management Engine 1100 Series |
5. Set/verify ME 1100 Series clock settings | It is recommended that you use NTP. If you have no NTP server, verify clock setting is correct using show clock command from the ME 1100 Series command prompt. | Installing and Configuring the Management Engine 1100 Series |
6. Set Up ME 1100 Series using SLM administrative GUI framework | Enter password for username slmuser when prompted. From the CiscoWorks2000 Server desktop, select Service Level Management > Administration > Management Engine > Configure.
| "Setting Up a New ME 1100 Series" in Using Service Level Manager |
7. Verify ME 1100 Series is running | Check status of ME 1100 Series configured on your network. From the CiscoWorks2000 Server desktop, select Service Level Management > Administration > Management Engine > Management Engine Status. | Using Service Level Manager |
8. Update software on the ME 1100 Series. | Download software from SLM server to ME 1100 Series. Click Check All, then click Update Software. For future software update needs, you can select Service Level Management > Administration > Management Engine > Software > Update Software from the CiscoWorks2000 Server desktop. | "Updating Software on the ME 1100 Series" in Using Service Level Manager |
9. Check ME 1100 Series software status | This is an automated process. To verify software update status for future needs, you can select Service Level Management > Administration > Management Engine > Software > View Software Update Status from the CiscoWorks2000 Server desktop. | Using Service Level Manager |
As part of configuration, you must set a matching username and password for both the SLM server and the ME 1100 Series to enable communication. The username "slmuser" is built into the SLM server for this purpose; however, you need to assign your own password. You must configure username slmuser and password on the SLM server, and add username slmuser and matching password to the ME 1100 Series configuration. Failure to do this disables communication between the two devices.
The ME 1100 Series is designed to support Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) settings. The SLM server is set to display local time. When reports are generated, the time zone reflects the SLM server time zone. This means that although the server time zone differs from the ME 1100 Series time zone, the time differentiation is accounted for and reports are displayed using the server time zone.
The following table gives the translation between UTC and Standard and Daylight Saving Time in the United States.
| Standard Time Zone | Hours to Add to UTC | Daylight Savings Time Zone | Hours to Add to UT |
|---|---|---|---|
Eastern Standard Time | -5 | Eastern Daylight Time | -4 |
Central Standard Time | -6 | Central Daylight Time | -5 |
Mountain Standard Time | -7 | Mountain Daylight Time | -6 |
Pacific Standard Time | -8 | Pacific Daylight Time | -7 |
Table 3-3 shows time equivalents.
| Pacific Standard Time | Eastern Standard Time | Coordinated Universal Time |
|---|---|---|
12:00 hours Monday (12:00 p.m.) | 15:00 hours Monday (3:00 p.m.) | 20:00 hours Monday (8:00 p.m.) |
18:00 hours Monday (6:00 p.m.) | 21:00 hours Monday (9:00 p.m.) | 02:00 hours Tuesday (2:00 a.m.) |
Procedure
Step 2 Set the time to reflect the location of the SLM server.
Procedure
Step 2 Enter the following command at the prompt:
date mmddhhmmyy
where mm = month, dd = day, hh = hour, mm = minute, and yy = year.
Step 3 Set the time to reflect the location of the SLM server.
To learn how to set time and date on the ME 1100 Series, refer to Installing and Configuring the Management Engine 1100 Series.
From the CiscoWorks2000server desktop, select Service Level Management, as shown in Figure 3-1.
The activated drawer displays a green LED. Top-level folders are displayed, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Top-level folders are:
