Discovering Your Network
Access the Node
You use the MWTM to link to the node by using the connection protocol (Telnet or SSH) that you set in
the Node SNMP and Credentials dialog box (see Credentials Fields, page 3-21).
To access the node, right-click a node in a window, then choose Node > Connect to from the right-click
menu.
Note If your client workstation does not have network access to the IP address of the node (that is, if the node
is behind a firewall or NAT device), you might be unable to access the node.
Starting the MWTM Client on Windows
To start the MWTM client on a Windows system, choose Start > Programs > Cisco MWTM Client >
Launch MWTM Client, or double-click the MWTM Client icon on the Windows desktop.
Discovering Your Network
This section provides details on using the MWTM to discover your ITP or RAN-O networks. It includes:
• Discovery Overview, page 4-4
• Launching the Discovery Dialog, page 4-6
• Loading Seed Nodes and Seed Files, page 4-7
• Running Discovery, page 4-13
• Verifying Discovery, page 4-21
Discovery Overview
The MWTM uses a Discovery process to populate the MWTM database, discovering the objects in your
network.
You can run Discovery if MWTM User-Based Access is disabled; or, if it is enabled, and you are a
Network Administrator or System Administrator. (For more information about user authorization levels
in the MWTM, see Configuring MWTM User Account Levels (Server Only), page 2-5.)
To discover your network:
Step 1 Start the MWTM client, as described in Starting the MWTM Client, page 4-2.
Step 2 If you want to change SNMP settings, do so before running Discovery. See Configuring SNMP Settings,
page 3-15 for more information.
Step 3 If you want to discover ONS nodes and did not choose the option to discover your network during
installation, you must add the ONS nodes and set the credentials before running discovery (see Adding
Nodes, page 3-22 for more information.)
Step 4 Choose Network > Network Discovery from the MWTM main menu. The MWTM displays the
Discovery dialog box. See Launching the Discovery Dialog, page 4-6 for more information.
