Installation time considerations
Installation time considerations
The time required for installing the Enterprise NetProfiler is shortest if you configure and run the factory-installed
software. If you plan to use a version of the software that is later than the version that was installed at the factory, there
are two approaches to installing that version:
Configure the factory-installed software as described in this chapter and then update it to the latest version.
Perform a full installation of new software downloaded from the Riverbed Support site. This replaces the factory-
installed software.
If the software version on the Support site is only one or two versions later than the factory-installed version, it may
be faster to configure the factory-installed software and then update it to the latest version. If the software on the
Support site is several versions later than the factory-installed version, it may be faster to download the latest version
from the Support site and perform a full installation. This is described in
Chapter 5, “Updating NetProfiler Software.”
Configure the Base Module
You begin to configure the Enterprise NetProfiler by first configuring the Base Module. After you configure the Base
Module, you proceed to configuring each Expansion Module, if you installed such modules.
Follow these steps
:
1.
Using a console cable, connect a device to the Console connector of the Base Module.
2.
Log in using “admin” user name and “admin” password.
3.
When the configuration wizard starts, it displays the product model and serial number.
Note:
If you intend to activate the product licenses manually, record this information.
