One approach until we get Online Help into the OSF version, would be to
copy over and install the Windows kit, then use the online help in
there. Otherwise, here's a real simple quickstart.
Step 1: Click on the Add button to add your probe(s) to the table. If
you have more than one probe, you might want to add a Group
Name.
Step 2: Click on Test to make sure it is reachable, and that you have
the community strings correct.
Step 3: Click on Domain Manager to install the domains for the
protocols you want to monitor; (the ALL domain records all
of the Ethernet traffic.
Step 4: Use Protocol Monitor or Traffic Monitor to see what's
happening on the segment.
Step 5: Use the Tools pulldown menu to look at Host and Converstation
data.
Step 6: Use Data Capture to setup the probe to capture packets and
Protocol Decode to look at the captured data.
Other notes: The Remote Login button sets up a remote console session
with the probe.
The Token Ring Monitor button only applies to TR probes.
The Resource Manager button brings up a screen, but you can't
do anything there unless you have a Frontier NETscout probe
with the Resource Manager option.
The Alert Manager button brings up a window for viewing Traps
that have come in. To set Thresholds and generate Traps when
a threshold has been crossed, use the Watchdog function from
the Tools pulldown that appears on some of the domain-specific
screens.
The Filter Editor allows you to specify custom protocol filters
for data capture or for creating new domains.
The Domain Editor allows you to create new protocol domains,
which can be made up of 1 or more filters.
The NETscout shell button brings up a screen to issue command
line scripts to a probe. Type Help for a list of commands; type
a command to see the syntax for its use.
