Network Monitoring System Installation Guide232


Introduction

A network monitoring system (NMS) is a software application that monitors the health and performance of a computer network. NMSs can be used to detect and diagnose network problems, and to track network performance over time. This guide will provide instructions on how to install and configure a basic NMS.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need the following:
A computer with a network connection
An NMS software package
Administrative privileges on the computer

Installation

1. Download the NMS software package from the vendor's website.

2. Run the installation wizard and follow the on-screen instructions.

3. Once the installation is complete, launch the NMS software.

Configuration

1. The first step is to configure the NMS to monitor your network. To do this, you will need to add the IP addresses of the devices that you want to monitor.

2. Once you have added the IP addresses of the devices that you want to monitor, you will need to configure the NMS to collect data from these devices. To do this, you will need to create a monitoring profile for each device.

3. In the monitoring profile, you will need to specify the type of data that you want to collect from the device, and the frequency at which you want to collect the data.

4. Once you have created a monitoring profile for each device, you will need to apply the profile to the device.

Monitoring

Once you have configured the NMS, you can start monitoring your network. To do this, simply click on the "Start Monitoring" button.

The NMS will now start collecting data from the devices that you have added to the monitoring list. You can view the data that the NMS has collected by clicking on the "Reports" tab.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any problems with the NMS, you can consult the vendor's documentation for troubleshooting tips. You can also contact the vendor's technical support team for assistance.
