III. SUPPLEMENTS
III. 1. Using various NMS
Network Adapter is a device that can work in many types of networks and can be
controlled by various NMSs.
Shown here is the description of how to configure some of the most used NMSs for
Network Adapter. We hereby do not attempt to present an exhausting description or propose
to prefer specific NMS to other NMS. As well, this is not intended to be a comparison of the
given NMS.
We suppose that the user has a basic knowledge of NMS as such. With respect to the
fact that SNMP is a world-wide standard, other NMS can also be used without any problems.
The MIB diskette is in DOS format.
Novell NetWare Services Manager 1.0 (NSM)
Control of adapter`s host address (ping) :
From the main NMS menu select Fault and then Test Connectivity. In Test Connectivity
Dialog Box, Insert, enter the IP address into IP Address Box and press Test. If the adapter
responds, Status Box reports the result, otherwise it indicates that the response from IP address
has not been received.
Installation of MIB controller on the NMS :
Copy the MIB from the diskette to the directory / nms / snmpmibs / current. From main
NMS menu, select Tools and then SNMP Alarm Integrator. From Dialog Box go to sub-
directory / nms / snmpmibs / current and complete all MIB. This enables the NMS to receive
critical states (traps) sent by Network Adapter.
Connecting the Network Adapter Object to Management Map :
The NMS will search Network Adapter and in the meantime will connect it to its
Management Map.
