Enabling Auto-classification

NerveCenter can be configured to send a request that determines the highest SNMP version on each node automatically when the node is added to the NerveCenter database. You specify separately the highest version you want NerveCenter to detect. See Setting a Maximum Classify Value.

 
  To enable auto-classification and set a maximum classify value:

  1. Open NerveCenter Administrator and connect to the appropriate NerveCenter Server. See Connecting Administrator to a NerveCenter Server on page 38.
  2. Select the Classify tab.

    The Classify tab is displayed.

    autoclassify2

  3. Select the AutoClassify checkbox.

    NerveCenter auto-classification is enabled up to the version you select.

  4. Select Save.

Setting a Maximum Classify Value

Whether using auto-classification or manual node classification (in Client), you specify the highest version you want NerveCenter to detect. When performing classification, NerveCenter will never attempt to classify a node for any version above the version you specify. For example, if you select v2c, NerveCenter can send classification requests only for SNMP v1 and v2c. (However, in the Client module, you can manually specify any version for a node and then test communication with the agent using that version.)

 
  To set a maximum classify value:

  1. Open NerveCenter Administrator and connect to the appropriate NerveCenter Server. See Connecting Administrator to a NerveCenter Server on page 38.
  2. Select the Classify tab.

    The Classify tab is displayed.

  3. Select the highest level you want to classify from the Maximum Version drop-down listbox.
  4. Select Save.
