IPSweep (Windows)

Path: \model\data_collection\ipsweep_nt.mod

(Windows version) This behavior model identifies responsive nodes in the network that are not in the Open NerveCenter database. When NerveCenter finds such a node, it sends an SNMP trap to either the node source (if one is specified in NerveCenter) or to the local host, so that IPSweep.EXE can either prompt population of the node database in the network management platform or in Open NerveCenter.

IPSweep runs IPSweep.exe whenever the alarm transitions to the PingSweep state. By default, the path for IPSweep.exe is:

C:\program files\OpenService\nervecenter\bin

If IPSweep.exe does not reside on this default path, you will have to modify the two Command alarm action instances in the alarm definition for IPSweep with the correct path. For information on the Command alarm action, refer to Designing and Managing Behavior Models.

   If you are using the IPSweep alarm to populate a network management platform's database, turn off your network management platform's network topology discovery.

Property

The following property must be in the property group for the nodes you want to monitor:

NO_PROP

Trigger Generators

Below is a list of the objects that generate triggers:

• TruePoll (poll)
• IPSweep (alarm)

Events Sent to OpenView

IPSweep sends no events to OpenView.

For more information about integrating NerveCenter with OpenView, or the other NerveCenter-supported network manager platforms, refer to the book Integrating NerveCenter with a Network Management Platform.

Optional Customization

Below is a list of behavior model settings that you might want to customize to suit the requirements of your site.

---

   It's a good practice to rename the behavior model objects that you modify. Whenever you import a model, NerveCenter will overwrite objects with the same name.

• Set the timer to perform the ping sweep
• Log To File alarm action options
  (file pathname, log action variables, verbose or non-verbose output)
