SNMP credentials

The adding addition and the polling of the network devices is carried out via SNMP. The monitoring system uses the list of SNMP access details, which is edited in the "Settings" section. In the SNMP part of this section, the following data should be specified:

• List of with the access details that are set on the wireless network devices.
• The network ports list which are set for the SNMP server operation on the wireless devices at the network.

Adding network hosts

NEXT provides automatic, continuous device discovery. The connections of the devices already added to the monitoring system are continuously investigated. Thus, for monitoring the subscribers of the base station sector, it is enough to add only the sector itself. When a new subscriber is connected to the sector, it will be detected and added automatically.

There is also the possibility to add devices to the monitoring system manually. In this case, the devices can be immediately added to the desired device group, while an automatically detected device will be added to the default device group.

To add network hosts, go to the "Management" section. This section provides a list of all the devices and groups added previously. The following parameters are displayed for each:

• "Host" - a the device's name.
• "Status" - current device status.
• "Family" -  product the product family of this device model.
• "IP address" - device IP address list.

Adding new devices using jobs. To create a new job for adding devices, click on the "Add Hosts" button. In the "Information" section select the devices device type:

• Unicast - add one device by its IP address.
  • Specify one the device's IP address.
• Network - add multiple devices on from a specific subnet.
  • Specify the IP address and the network mask.
• Range - add multiple devices over a range of IP addresses range.
  • Specify the first and the last IP addresses of the range.

...

Then go to the "Device Groups" section and select the group there to which the devices added in this job should be placed. Devices not covered by the job, but discovered through devices added by the job this process will be placed to the Default Group.

To start the task, click on the "Save" button.

Network node

addition procedure

Network A network node is not added immediately, but only after polling. The procedure is implemented in a the following way:

1. After creating a job, the network nodes are queued for polling. At this stage, they are not yet added to the monitoring system and will not be reflected in the general list.

2. NEXT will add a network node to the poll polling queue.
3. The device will be added to the monitoring system only after a successful SNMP polling.
   
4. If NEXT could not access the network node via SNMP, then the polling of this device will be stopped.

To view the job status, click on the "Jobs" button and select the appropriate job in the list:
