Preparing to Install IPM

• IPM server---1

• IPM clients---unlimited number

• Collectors---100

To support more than 100 collectors, additional licenses can be purchased. For more information about setting up IPM collectors, see the Internetwork Performance Monitor User Guide.

You can install the IPM server and client software locally or remotely using one of the following methods:

• From a locally-mounted CD-ROM drive

• From an NFS-exported CD-ROM drive

• Using the IPM web server (IPM client software only)

To obtain the patches, contact your Sun Microsystems representative or download them from the Sun web site.

If you want to run IPM collectors for longer than 24 days, and you are running Cisco IOS release 11.2 on your router, then you need the following version of the Cisco IOS 11.2 software release:

• Release 11.2 (16) or later

# snmp-server host address string [rtr]
 

Where:

address is the IP address of the network management host, such as 123.45.178.90.

string is the read community string for access to SNMP in the network management host.

rtr limits the traps sent to address to RTR-related traps. If you omit this value, no traps are sent to the named network management host.

Step 6 To exit configuration mode on the router, press Ctrl-C.

Step 7 To save the changes in NVRAM for permanent storage in the startup_config file of the router, run the write memory command as follows:

# wr mem

---

Note Unless you permanently save the configuration changes, they will only remain in the running memory of the router (in the running_config file) until the router is restarted.

---

Step 8 To verify that your changes appear in both temporary storage (in the running_config file of the router) and in NVRAM (in the startup_config file), run the following commands to display the contents of those files:

# show running
# show startup
