Step 3: ETM® System Configuration
Completing Card Configuration
The procedures below are used to complete Card configuration. The first
part of Card configuration was performed via direct serial connection. After
the Cards have successfully connected to the ETM Server, Card
configuration continues in the Performance Manager. Card configuration
settings provide information that enables the Card to communicate on the
data network; these settings apply to all of the Spans on the Card. The Card
configuration procedure is the same for all Cards (including AAA and 1060
CRC), regardless of Span type(s) on the Card.
These procedures are organized in the sequence in which they
should be completed.
Begin with "Creating an Appliance" below.
In the
Platform Configuration
subtree, you can organize the Cards
according to the Appliance chassis in which they are housed. Although this
step is optional, it is recommended for uncluttering and organizing the
display. Appliances in the tree pane are an organizational tool only and have
no configuration settings. If you do not want to organize the Cards
according to their Appliances, proceed to "Single or Multi-Card
Configuration?" on page 74.
