Chapter 4 Modifying IPM Components
Working With Target Devices
Adding a New Source Device
Before you can use a source for a collector, you must add the source to IPM.
You can optionally, verify that the SNMP read community and write community strings are configured
properly on the source. Also, if you want to receive traps at your network management system (NMS),
verify that the router is configured to send SA Agent-generated traps to your NMS. IPM itself does not
receive traps.
For information about configuring SNMP on the source, see the “Configuring Your Routers to Send
SA Agent-Related Traps” section in the “Preparing to Install” chapter of the Installation Guide for
Internetwork Performance Monitor.
For information about adding a new source device, see Defining a Source Device
Deleting Source Devices
You can delete source devices you no longer need. You can delete more than one source device at a time.
Note If a source device has been configured as part of one or more collectors, you must delete the collectors
before you can delete the source device.
To delete a source device:
Step 1 From the Source Configuration window (Figure 2-3), select the source device or sources you want to
delete.
Step 2 Click Delete.
The confirmation box appears,
Step 3 Click Yes.
The selected source routers are deleted from the IPM database.
Working With Target Devices
IPM targets are destination devices for which you want to gather network performance statistics. A target
can be any IP-addressable device, a Cisco device running the SA Agent Responder, or an SNA host.
Note The SA Agent Responder is supported only in Cisco IOS 12.1(2)T or later. We strongly recommend that
you use software release 12.1 or later.
