Step 2
Find the following interfaces:
Serial interface channels (B and D channels). For example, Se1/0/0:6 and Se1/0/0:23
Asynchronous interfaces. For example, Async 1/2/1
Step 3
Select a group of ports to unmanage. Draw a box around the ports, or select them individually.
Step 4
From the Map menu, select Unmanage Objects. Unmange all ports except the T1 trunks, loopback
management interface, and Ethernet interface. Statistics are polled from managed ports.
Note
You must unmanage the serial and asynchronous ports, which appear tan.
Tips
When the status of an object changes (to managed or unmanaged), HPOV switches to
synchronization mode.
Creating and Adjustin g Maps
Maps provide a view of the network topology, and they enable you to quickly troubleshoot faults in the
network. HPOV automatically polls devices and builds maps for you; however, devices often get stacked
in the map, which is undesirable.
The following procedure saves you from having to refresh all your submaps each time a new device
appears in the network. After you implement the following procedure, new devices will appear in the
New Object Holding Area.
Caution
Deleting a device from a submap removes the device from the database. To load a device
back into the database, see the “Using the HPOV CLI to Enter a Device into the Database”
section on page 115.
