trator Set up NMS users with passwords and scope of
control.
Refer to the Administration Guide, Section 4.
10. Import Link Profiles Create an excel spreadsheet and place it in
\state
.
Refer to the Administration Guide, Section
6.7.3.
Since the physical link configu-
ration for an existing network

Network VLAN Manager can
have an Excel spreadsheet of the
physical links imported. This
will populate the Physical Net-
work map, and any existing Net-
work VLANs that use those
links will be configured.
11. Set Device Attributes Refer to the Administration Guide, Section 5.
12. Configure Applications Refer to the Administration Guide, Sections 5
and 6. With all devices discovered and
being monitored, it is now possi-
ble to configure applications
such as VLANs, HVLANs, and
Network VLANs.
13. Perform a AlliedView
NMS Backup Make a backup of both the AlliedView NMS
file, the database, and devices
Refer to the Administration Guide, Section 3.4,
and Section 5.
Do this on a schedule to ensure
whenever changes due to Steps
11 and 12 are captured and
archived.
