Step 4 (Optional) To change the IP address or DNS name of a node, select the node and
enter the new address or name in the IP Address Range or Hostname field.
• IP addresses use the format x.x.x.x, where each x has one of the following
values:
–
An integer in the range 0 through 255.
–
A range of integers separated by a dash (-), such as 10-60.
–
An asterisk (*), which is equivalent to specifying 0-255.
• Unlike IP addresses, you cannot specify a range of node names or use
wildcards in node names. Each node name corresponds to a single node in the
network.
The default value for this field is the IP address *.*.*.*, which SGM uses for all
nodes not covered by other IP address ranges or names.
Click Update to apply the new IP address to the selected node.
Step 5 (Optional) Nodes use SNMP community names for read access to the information
maintained by the SNMP agent on the ITP. To change the SNMP community name
for a node, select the node and enter the new name in the Read Community field.
This name must match the name used by the node. The default name is public.
Click Update to apply the new SNMP community name to the selected node.
For information about exporting SNMP community names from CiscoWorks2000
Resource Manager Essentials (RME), see the “Importing SNMP Community
Names from CiscoWorks2000 (Solaris Only)” section on page 5-2.
Step 6 (Optional) If you determine that SGM waits too long for a response from a node,
or does not wait long enough, you can change the timeout value. To change the
time, in seconds, that SGM waits for a response from a node, select the node and
enter the new timeout value in the Timeout (secs) field. The valid range is 1 to 60
seconds. The default value is 1 second.
Click Update to apply the new timeout to the selected node.
Step 7 (Optional) If you determine that SGM retries a node too many times, or not
enough times, you can change the number of retries. To change the number of
times SGM attempts to connect to a node, select the node and enter the new
number in the Retries field. The valid range is 0 to 99. The default value is
2retries.
Click Update to apply the new retries value to the selected node.
