Objectives

This exercise describes how to use Dynamic Model to add a new printer class without attributes or other properties to the following:

• Network-Resource Manager

• IP-Perspective Manager

• IP-Analysis Manager

• Global Manager

  This exercise also demonstrates how new instances can be classified in the new class, and then discovered. Instances of the new class will be discovered automatically, based on the device’s MIB object ID (OID) when the Network-Resource Manager is started.

  Note:

  This exercise should be performed on test versions of a Broker, Network-Resource Manager, IP-Perspective Manager, IP-Analysis Manager, and Global Manager. Before starting this exercise, back up the repository on the test Managers.

  This exercise includes the following tasks:

• Create and compile a dynamic model file.

• Add a new printer class to the models in a Network-Resource Manager, IP-Perspective Manager, IP-Analysis Manager, and Global Manager.

• View the new printer class by using the Global Console.

• Set up the printer OID for discovery.

• Reload the dynamic model file into the Network-Resource Manager, IP-Perspective Manager, and IP-Analysis Manager.

• Set up topology sources for the IP-Perspective Manager, and the IP-Analysis Manager.

• Discover instances of the new class by using the Network-Resource Manager.

• Add the new printer class into the Global Manager model.
