To create or modify an NE MIB statistics policy using a top-down method

Steps
 
1 

Choose Tools→Statistics→MIB Policies from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage MIB Statistics Policies form opens.


2 

Choose NE MIB Statistics Policy (SNMP).


3 

Specify a filter to create a filtered list of MIB statistics policies, if required, and click Search. A list of MIB statistics policies is displayed.


4 

Click Create, or choose a MIB statistics policy from the list and click Properties. The NE MIB Statistics Policy (Create|Edit) form opens.

Note: When you change a MIB statistics policy for an NE, the change affects all of the NEs to which the policy is assigned.

When you change a MIB statistics policy for a statistics class of an object, the change applies to all objects that use the same statistics class.


5 

Configure the required parameters.

Note: To view statistics on the NFM-P GUI, you must set the Administrative State parameter of the MIB statistics policy to UP and the Polling Admin State parameter must be set to UP.


6 

Click Apply. The form refreshes to display additional tabs.


7 

Click on the Network Elements tab.


8 

Click Assign Sites. A filter form opens.


9 

Configure the filter criteria and click OK. The Assign policy_name form opens with a list of NEs displayed.


10 

Select one or more NEs from the Unassigned Sites list, and click the right arrow. The selected NEs move to the Assigned Sites list.

Note: You can also assign an NE MIB policy to NEs using a discovery rule. Doing this does not affect the previously discovered NEs. See the NSP NFM-P Classic Management User Guide for information about device discovery.


11 

Click OK. The Assign policy_name form closes and the NE MIB Statistics Policy form reappears.


12 

Save your changes and close the forms.
