Other Tips
√
If you frequently use a certain map, set it as the default EliteView map.
√
Click on your right mouse button to show a context-sensitive menu of applicable commands. On larger
screens, this means you will not need to jump back-and-forth to the menu bar to access related commands.
√
Set passwords for your network maps. This guards against unauthorized access (turning ports on/off, clearing
counters, etc.).
√
Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for your network switches (including the management unit) and
the network monitoring station. If power fails on the NMS running EliteView, any open data files may be
adversely affected.
√
Backup your EliteView directory on a regular basis.
Be sure to read your EliteView documentation for other tips and suggestions.
Managing Data
Data in monitored devices are defined using the Management Information Base (MIB) model. Database
management functions are built into agent software using standard data structures. SNMP is based on the
“Concise MIB Definitions,” which are defined in RFC 1212.
