3.2.1 Initial Setup

IRP instance initial setup wizard includes the following steps:

→  Specifying Infrastructure IP addresses
→  Providing the list of analyzed networks
→  Configuring Span Collector
→  Configuring Flow Collector
→  Selecting IRP’s Improvement mode
→  Setup the management interface
→  Indicate interfaces that IRP uses for active probing

Basic Setup #

–  Setup Infrastructure IP addresses (explorer.infra_ips)

Figure 3.2.2: Configuration editor: Setup Infrastructure IP addresses

–  Setup Analyzed networks (collector.ournets)

Figure 3.2.3: Configuration editor: Setup Analyzed networks

–  Configure Collector:

*   Irpspand

–  Irpspand enable/disable (collector.span.enabled)
–  Irpspand interfaces (collector.span.interfaces)
–  Mindelay status (collector.span.min_delay)
–  Mindelay probing queue slots (collector.span.min_delay.probing_queue_size)

*   Irpflowd

–  Irpflowd enable/disable(collector.flow.enabled)
–  NetFlow UDP port(collector.flow.listen.nf)
–  sFlow UDP port(collector.flow.listen.sf)
–  Flow Sources(collector.flow.sources)
