to edit the voice to structure a data
center expert the easiest place to start
is in the monitoring perspective this
will allow you to see the device once it
has been added
normally you either right-click while in
this view and choose add devices if
there are devices present or you can use
the device menu and select add devices
next choose the specific device
discovery type you have the option for
SNMP version 1 SNMP version 3 net pots
appliance and Modbus TCP for this
example we will add an SNMP version 1
device select SNMP version 1 and hit the
next button the first field is for the
IP of the device to be added or the IP
range of multiple devices to be
discovered note that until the IP or
range is fully added the header of the
style log shows how the IP range would
be entered next we need to add community
names as configured in the devices to be
discovered these values should be noted
on the devices themselves prior to
attempting discovery only one set of
community names can be used per
discovery if the voices in a specific IP
range have different community names
multiple discoveries must be made each
with different community names note that
both read and write community names can
be added but the right community name is
only used for a PC devices
what 161 is the default as an empty port
and is normally used if your device has
a non default port configured for SNMP
version 1 you must configure
StruxureWare to use that port for this
discovery and later polling using this
field timeout values are used if an SNMP
poll does not retrieve information this
is how long you want to wait for it
tries this poll again retries tells the
system how many times to pull if the
previous poll fails to retrieve them
trap registration for priority scanning
is for a PC devices only using this
functionality we will set a hidden
receiver on the device so the normal
trap receiver fields are still available
for customer use when we do receive a
trap using this functionality we repol
the APC device to verify there are
actual issues device file transfer
settings is another option for a PC
devices only during device discovery we
download specific files from the APC
device for configuration need to define
the specific alerts for the device being
added you can edit the defaults or
create new entries you can also add
entries for specific device IPS or for
ranges here I am editing an existing
entry with the range set to all
asterisks this indicates StruxureWare
will try these values on all devices if
these values do not work other entries
that include the IPA we are discovering
will be attempted user name and password
for the device must be added as well as
the IP range you can use SCP FTP or SCP
fallback to FTP for protocol options
this is also dependent on device
configuration port can be changed if the
device is configured with a non-standard
port timeouts and retries can also be
configured here this information can be
changed at a later date if necessary
click Next when the device is discovered
you can assign it to a specific device
group this will help to organize devices
and groups more effectively here you can
hit either finish or next if you hit
finish the discovery is saved but not
run I'm selecting this test group and I
will then hit next
on this screen I can enable scheduling
when discovering a range of IPs
that may have devices added at a later
date you can schedule the discovery to
rerun one day a week or multiple days
during the week you can also select a
specific time to run the discovery this
is not usually necessary if only one
device is to be discovered here I am
choosing to run the discovery now and I
will then click finish here you can see
the entry you've just created along with
any other saved discoveries you can see
the discovery range if it is set to run
periodically what type of discovery it
is if it is currently running or idle
when it was last run the destination
device group and what user group created
this discovery from this screen you can
also add another discovery edit the
parameters of the current discovery
delete the discovery run the discovery
now stop the discovery if it is
currently running in both discovery
entries or export discovery entries now
if we select the device group assuming
that we have provided the proper
parameters the device is online and the
discovery has been run the device should
show up in this diverse group depending
on the size of the discovery range this
may take a few moments as you can see
the device is now added and we are
beginning to poll values we are now
ready to begin monitoring devices with
