Enabling agents for supported NAT gateway devices

The CiscoNATTelnet and NATNetScreen agents connect directly to the NAT gateways to download the address mappings. You can configure these agents.

Before you begin

Before running these agents, you must do the following tasks:
  • Enable NAT translation
  • Configure trap handling

About this task

To configure and run the agents:

Procedure

  1. Enable the agents. There is an insert into the disco.agents table in the DiscoAgents.cfg configuration file for every installed discovery agent. To activate an agent, you must alter the insert so that the m_Valid column for that agent is set to 1. To deactivate an agent, ensure that m_Valid=0.

    The following example insert activates the CiscoNATTelnet agent.

    insert into disco.agents 
    (
            m_AgentName, m_Valid, m_AgentClass, m_IsIndirect, m_Precedence,
            m_DebugLevel, m_LogFile
    )
    values 
    (
            'CiscoNATTelnet', 1, 8, 0, 2, 4, 
            "$NCHOME/log/precision/CiscoNatTelnet.log"
    );
  2. Run a discovery.
