Add PacketShapers

Before you can use ReportCenter you must add at least one PacketShaper to the list of devices polled by ReportCenter. You can use any of three available methods to add PacketShapers:

Import from PolicyCenter — If you are also using the network management program PolicyCenter to configure and manage your network of Packeteer devices you can import the list of devices directly from your PolicyCenter directory server.

Add Individually — You can add your PacketShapers one at a time using the add PacketShaper method. You'll need to know the unit serial number and the look password for each PacketShaper.

Auto Discovery — You can use ping and SNMP protocols to find PacketShapers within a range of IP addresses that you specify.

To add PacketShapers using any of these methods, use the ReportCenter Administrator Console program.

  1. Connect to ReportCenter and login using an Administrator-level account. The default administrator account name is admin and the default password for this account is also admin. The Administrator Console Main Window appears.



  2. In the network tree select a group to contain the new PacketShaper, the group you select must not contain any other groups. This is because a group may contain other groups or PacketShapers but not both.
  3. Drop-down Define and expand the Network selection. Three selections are available for adding PacketShapers to ReportCenter.
