3-8 Creating a Net
Setting Polling Interval
RADview/HPOV automatically polls network objects periodically, relaying the
information to the user by dynamically updating the map and displaying messages.
To change the polling interval:
1. Make sure that no map symbol is selected. From the Misc menu, select
RADview/HPOV > General > Status Polling.
The Status Polling Interval dialog box appears.
2. Select the desired polling interval in Days, Hours and Minutes, and click Set.
The default-polling interval is five minutes.
3.4 Creating a Net
Net Functionality
A Net is a collection of IPmux units connected by communication links that can be
configured as a group. A single stand-alone unit is a special type of net. Using
RADview/HPOV, the user can define nets, plan WAN agent connections, and
configure nets as desired.
At the net level, following information is displayed:
• The net topology the communication status of each WAN agent with the
management station the status of operation of each WAN agent, as the
information is passed from the ports to the modules and to the WAN agent
the status of operation of the links connecting WAN agents.
At the WAN agent level, the following Information is displayed:
• The operational status of the agent the operational status of each card,
including its ports the test status of each card, including its ports.
Preparing Node Names and Internet Addresses
Before you can create a new map, or add nodes to an existing map, you must
know the unique Internet address and host name for each node. The Internet
name must be a valid IP address written in dot notation, in which no single value
exceeds "255" (for example, 125.4.254.11"). Host names can be written with
normal characters (for example, "bridge1"). Refer to the TCP/IP protocol software
documentation for details of how to assign Internet addresses and to add them to
the TCP/IP protocol hosts file.
Network Topology
Before creating a map, you must know the topology of the network, e.g., which
interfaces are connected to which ports.
