Local IP Address

Enter the IP address of the TCP/IP with which to interface with NetView. The SNMP manager autotask uses this IP address to verify a working SNMP connection between TCP/IP and NetView.

Enabling Resource Monitor Scheduling

Consider the following guidelines when using the ISM Scheduler to enable resource monitoring intervals:

To enable the ISM Scheduler, complete the following steps:


Step 1   On the ISM Resource Management Setup—First Panel (Figure 3-3), beside the ISM Scheduler Setup option, enter Y, and press Enter. The ISM Schedule Setup panel (Figure 3-9) is displayed.


Figure 3-9: ISM Schedule Setup Panel



Step 2   On the ISM Schedule Setup panel, under the Group ID column, type the name of a resource group.

Step 3   A monitoring interval is the time that an assigned autotask waits before collecting resource and interface statistics for a selected resource group.

To specify monitoring intervals, enter the number of 15-minute increments in the Resource Mon. and Interface Mon. fields. For example, to specify an interval of 60 minutes, enter 4.

Step 4   To assign an autotask to a resource group in the AUTOTASK field, enter the name of the ISM autotask member that you want to use to manage the corresponding group of resources.

To remove an autotask monitoring schedule, enter D in the Delete field beside the resource group ID.

Step 5   Press PF4 to save your changes.


Viewing and Modifying ISM Users

The ISM User List utility enables you to view and modify the profiles of all the users defined to ISM. The ISM user list includes the name of each user (if specified in the profile), the user ID, and the ISM user authority level.

To view a list of all the users defined to ISM, issue the ismusers command. The ISM Authorized Users panel is displayed (Figure 3-11). To modify a users profile, change the profile options and press PF4 to update.


Figure 3-10:
ISM Authorized Users Panel


For more information on defining ISM user profiles, see Chapter 5, "Configuring ISM," in the CiscoWorks Blue Internetwork Status Monitor Installation Guide.
