Designed for moderate to large networks, configuration information and connection data for network devices are retrieved by SNMP. With Netdisco you can locate the switch port of an end-user system by IP or MAC address. Data is stored using a SQL database for scalability and speed.

|
|
|
Here is a summary of the steps needed to complete the netdisco setup.
|
|
Please look at the documentation in ${PREFIX}/doc/ for details.
|
|
- add the netdisco administrator(s) account(s) to the netdisco group
|
|
- cd to ${PREFIX}/netdisco/sql/ and run ./pg_init, ./pg_run and ./pg_all
|
|
to create the netdisco database in postgresql. This will prompt for a
|
|
password which will then be used to access the netdisco database.
|
|
Rememer this password as you will need it later.
|
|
- edit ${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco.conf to suit your needs. You have to
|
|
set the database password you entered in the previous step here.
|
|
- Add a user to the netdisco system: ${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco -u joebob
|
|
Give this user administration privileges, so that it will be able to
|
|
create other users though the web interface.
|
|
- Import the OUI database:
|
|
${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco -o
|
|
- Add an appropriate crontab to user netdisco. ${EGDIR} contains an
|
|
appropriate sample.
|
|
- Include netdisco to your apache config. ${EGDIR} contains 2 config
|
|
fragments: netdisco_apache.conf and netdisco_apache_dir.conf which
|
|
can be inclued in the httpd.conf to make netdisco available though
|
|
http://your.host.name/netdisco/
|
|
You will have to set the database password in netdisco_apache_dir.conf.
|
|
If you are using apache2, make sure you load mod_apreq.so in addition
|
|
to mod_perl.so, and that you have "PerlModule Apache::compat"
|
|
- Make netdisco discover one of your devices:
|
|
${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco -d devicename
|
|
- Make netdisco discover your network topology, if supported by your
|
|
devices: ${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco -r devicename
|
|
If not supported by your devices, you'll have to fill in
|
|
${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco-topology.txt.
|
|
- start the admin daemon: /etc/rc.d/netdisco start
|
