Chapter 2      Installing Cisco MGC Node Manager

Performing a New Installation of the Cisco MGC Node Manager

Task 10. Install the CiscoView Security Module

If you are using CiscoView, the CiscoView Security Module must be installed on the CiscoView server 
after CiscoView and Cisco MGC Node Manager have been installed. 

Step 1

Determine the IP address Cisco MGC Node Manager is using for the CiscoView server. For example, if 
Cisco EMF is installed in /opt/cemf, enter:

- /opt/cemf/bin/cmnmupdateCVip -showip

Note

An IP address of "0.0.0.0" is the local workstation. 

Note

If the address is not correct, see 

“Changing the IP Address of the CiscoView Server If Needed” 

section on page 2-13

 for how to change it.

Step 2

Locate the CSCOcvsec.pkg that is shipped with the Cisco MGC Node Manager software and resides in 
the ciscoviewsecurity directory:

- cd ciscoviewsecurity

If the CiscoView server is not installed on Cisco EMF server, go on to Step 3. If the CiscoView server 
is installed on the Cisco EMF server, skip to Step 4. 

Step 3

Use ftp to copy the CSCOcvsec package to the CiscoView server using the CiscoView server IP address 
you determined with the cmnmupdateCVip command.

- ftp cvserverIPAddress

        cd /tmp

        binary

        put CSCOcvsec.pkg /tmp/CSCOcvsec.pkg

Telnet (or SSH) to the CiscoView server:

- telnet cvserver

You are now ready to install the package. 

Step 4

Become the “root” user, (if not already “root”):

- su - root

Step 5

Install the package:

- /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /tmp/CSCOcvsec.pkg

Note

If you uninstall and reinstall Cisco MGC Node Manager, you must reinstall the security package.

Task 11: Set Up the X Terminal Workstations for Remote Access

You can access Cisco MGC Node Manager remotely from a workstation or PC. Cisco MGC Node 
Manager has been tested with the Reflection 7.20 X server software package.
