Populating the Node List Manually

The two most popular methods of initially populating NerveCenter's node list are:

• Populating NerveCenter's node list using your network management platform as a node data source
• Populating Using the IPSweep Behavior Model

An alternative is to populate the NerveCenter node list by hand. For each node you want NerveCenter to manage, you must use the Node Definition window to specify the node's data, including:

• Name
• Address
• Community string
• Property group

Because defining your own node data demands a considerable amount of attention, this alternative is recommended only for the smallest number of managed nodes.

To populate NerveCenter's node list manually, follow the steps described in the section Adding and Deleting Nodes Manually for each node you want to include in NerveCenter's node list.
