3 Using the Cartridge

This chapter provides instructions for using the Oracle Communications Network Integrity Cisco Router and Switch UIM Integration cartridge in Network Integrity.

Creating a Discover Enhanced Cisco SNMP Discovery Scan

The Discover Enhanced Cisco SNMP discovery scan discovers network information from IPv4, IPv6, FrameRelay, FrameRelayData, FrameRelayExtendedData, ATM Media, VirtualChannelLinkData, and ATMInterface networks.

To create a Discover Enhanced Cisco SNMP discovery scan:

  1. Create a new scan.

    See the Network Integrity online Help for more information.

  2. On the General tab, do the following:

    • From the Scan Action list, select Discover Enhanced Cisco SNMP.

      The Scan Type field displays Discovery.

    • In the Scan Action Parameters section, configure the scan with appropriate credentials and version details.

    • (Optional) To enable the scan to discover devices based on CPU utilization, do the following:

      • In the Scan Action Parameters section, from the Select Parameter Group list, select CPU Utilization Parameters.

      • In the CPU Utilization % field, specify a value between 1 to 99.

  3. On the Scope tab, specify addresses.

  4. Save and run the scan.

    The scan discovers and models logical and physical devices.

The scan creates device model for each logical and physical device. The physical device structure uses cat6509, cevChasis3640, and various references defined in the Discover Enhanced Cisco SNMP action. For more information, see "Model Collections".

Creating an Import Cisco from UIM Scan

The Import Cisco from UIM scan imports and models Cisco SNMP logical and physical devices from Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management (UIM).

To create an Import Cisco from UIM scan:

  1. Create a new scan.

    See the Network Integrity online Help for more information.

  2. On the General tab of the Create Scan page, do the following:

    • From the Scan Action list, select Import Cisco From UIM.

      The Scan Type field displays Import.

    • In the Scan Action Parameters section, leave all the fields with their default values.

  3. Save and run the scan.

    The scan creates logical and physical device models for each device. For more information, see "Model Collections".

Populating UIM with Discovered Data

This procedure describes steps to populate UIM with network data discovered by the Discover Enhanced Cisco SNMP discovery action.

To populate UIM with discovered network data:

  1. Create a new scan.

    See the Network Integrity online Help for more information.

  2. On the General tab of the Create Scan page, do the following:

    • From the Scan Action list, select Discover Enhanced Cisco SNMP.

      The Scan Type field displays Discovery.

    • Select Detect Discrepancies.

    • In the Scan Action Parameters area, make any necessary configurations.

  3. Save the scan.

  4. Run the discovery scan.

    The scan generates Entity+ discrepancies for each discovered device.

  5. Right-click on the discrepancies you want to populate into UIM and select Correct in UIM.

  6. Click Submit.

  7. Verify that UIM is populated with the discovered data.

  8. In Network Integrity, configure and run an import scan.

    The import scan imports data from UIM.

  9. Run the discovery scan again.

    The scan does not detect any discrepancies and UIM should now contain discovered data.
