Usage Guidelines

Before starting NSP for the first time, issue the nsp command from a SOLVE:Netmaster command line to access the NSP main menu. Once on the NSP main menu, select the * SETUP option. This starts the NSP setup facility from which you configure the NSP management environment. Configuring the NSP management environment includes selecting the NSP applications you want to use, specifying monitoring intervals and threshold setting, and select the types of interfaces you want to monitor.

Once you have configured the NSP management environment and have started NSP, issue the nsp command from a SOLVE:Netmaster command line to display the NSP main menu.

Help is available for the commands that are listed on the NSP main menu by either positioning the cursor on a command line and pressing F1 or by entering the command followed by a space and question mark from the action prompt.

Example

The following command displays the NSP main menu:

nsp

nspaid

Use the nspaid command to enable or disable the trace facilities provided by NSP. The three trace facilities and their functions provided by NSP are Debug, Ctrace, and Trflow.
