Note Hardware and software version information is subject to change, based on enhancements to the product. For the most current version information, refer to the Release Notes for Cisco Internetwork Performance Monitor available on CCO. |
Your system must meet the following hardware requirements to run the IPM server and client together:
Your system must meet the following hardware requirements to run the IPM client by itself:
Your system must meet the following software requirements to run IPM:
Before you install IPM on a Windows system, you should know the following information:
IPM supports running the IPM client software on a Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 Professional, or Solaris system. However, the IPM server is currently available only on Windows NT and Solaris. An IPM server on Windows NT or Solaris can be accessed by IPM clients running on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 Professional, or Solaris systems.
The IPM client software can either reside with the IPM server, or it can be installed on another system located on the same network as the IPM server.
On Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 2000 Professional the IPM installation process defaults to client-only installation. On Windows NT, the following IPM installation menu options are provided:
Installing IPM on Windows takes approximately 5 minutes. To begin the installation of the IPM software on Windows:
Step 2 Insert the IPM CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive on the workstation. The IPM program files are automatically extracted from the CD-ROM. When all the files are extracted, the Internetwork Performance Monitor Setup window appears.
|
Note If the setup window does not appear automatically when you insert the CD-ROM, go to the root directory and run the ipmfull.exe command. If you are having trouble reading the CD-ROM, make sure your CD-ROM drive is compliant with the ISO 9660 standard. |
Step 3 Click Next. The License Agreement window appears.
Step 4 If you accept the license agreement, click Yes. The Choose Destination Location window appears.
Step 5 Specify whether you are installing the IPM server, the IPM client, or both:
The Select Program Folder window appears.
Step 6 Accept the default location, enter a location, or browse to find a location, then click Next. The Setup Type window appears.
|
Note The Setup Type window allows you to specify whether you are installing the IPM server, the IPM client, or both. If you are running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 2000 Professional, you can install only the IPM client, so the Setup Type window is unnecessary. Instead, the Select Program Folder window appears, and you should skip to Step 7. |
Step 7 Accept the default folder, enter a folder name, or browse to find a folder, then click Next. The Select IPM Server Configuration window (Figure 5-1) appears.
Figure 5-1 shows the Select IPM Server Configuration window if you are installing only the IPM client. If you are installing the IPM server the window is similar, but the DbPort field is displayed instead of the ServerHost field.
Step 8 If you are installing the IPM server, in the DbPort field enter a port number for the IPM server database. The default port number is 44341/tcp.
If you are installing only the IPM client, in the ServerHost field enter the name of the host on which the IPM server software is installed.
Step 9 (Optional) In the ServerPort field, enter a server port number. The default is 44342/udp.
If you are installing only the IPM client, verify that the IPM server is using default port number 44342/udp. If the IPM server is using a different port number, enter that number in this field. The IPM client and server can communicate only if they are configured for the same port number.
Step 10 (Optional) In the WebPort field, enter a Web port number. The default is 1744/tcp.
Step 11 Click Next. IPM asks you to confirm your choices, and the Start Copying Files window appears.
Step 12 Click Next. The Setup Status window appears and the files are copied.
Step 13 When all of the files have been copied, IPM asks if you want to do regular unattended backups of the IPM database. If you want to enable this feature, click Yes.
Step 14 The InstallShield Wizard Complete window appears. Installation is complete.
Step 15 IPM asks if you want to read the README file. The README file contains late-breaking information about IPM product that might not be found in the product documentation. To read the latest information about IPM in the README file, select the README check box and click Finish.
Step 16 Remove the CD-ROM from the drive.

Step 6 Continue with the installation according to the instructions provided in the "Installing IPM on Windows from the CD-ROM" section.
If you want to run the IPM client as an applet from a Web browser, you need the Java plug-in.
|
Note You cannot run the IPM client as an applet if you are running Windows 2000 Professional. |
To install the java plug-in on a Windows system from the IPM Web Server:
|
Note If you do not have this URL, contact the system administrator who installed the IPM server software. |
Step 2 Click Launch Web Client or Launch Secure Web Client.
Step 3 If you have not already installed the Java plug-in, the IPM Client main window displays a puzzle piece and the prompt Click here to get the plug-in. Click the prompt.
Step 4 The Plug-in Not Loaded window is displayed. Click Get the Plug-in.
Step 5 The Java Plug-in Windows Download Page is displayed. Select either US English or Internationalized from the drop-down list box, then click Continue.

Step 2 Select Start > Programs > Internetwork Performance Monitor > IPM Start Servers. If the IPM server installation was successful, a DOS window opens and the IPM servers (Database Server, Naming Server, and so on) are started.
To verify the IPM client installation:
Step 2 Make sure the IPM client icon appears on the desktop.
Step 3 Make sure the following options are in the Start > Programs > Internetwork Performance Monitor menu:
Step 4 Select Start > Programs > Internetwork Performance Monitor > IPM Client - clientname. If the IPM client installation was successful, the IPM Main window is displayed (Figure 5-4).
To uninstall IPM:
Step 2 Back up your IPM databases, seed files, and other configuration information before you uninstall IPM, if you want to save them.
Step 3 If you want to remove all collectors defined by the IPM server from the source routers supporting those collectors, remove them using the ipm rmcoll command before you uninstall IPM. Alternately, you can remove them after you uninstall IPM using the rtr reset router command.
Step 4 Choose a method to uninstall IPM:
Step 5 In the program list box, select Internetwork Performance Monitor and click Add / Remove.
Step 6 Choose to remove all or part of IPM from your system:
Step 7 IPM reminds you to backup your IPM databases, seed files, and other configuration information before proceeding. Click Next.
