Device Configuration - Advanced Tab

These are advanced options available to every node

Auto Connect

This feature works in conjunction with Admin Verification. Enabling this check box configures IntraVUE™ to treat this device as having permission to connect and disconnect from the different parts of the network without creating 'ghost nodes' (see Admin Verified below).

Examples of this are wireless devices that roam a plant or test devices that move from location to location. When a device with this feature enabled re-connects to the network it becomes active in its (perhaps new) location without admin action.

Laptop computers and other equipment that can be connected at a number of different locations should also have this feature enabled. The event log will still document all connections made and lost.

 

Auto IP

Enabling this check box adds information about this device to a list of devices having IntraVUE™'s optional AutoIP BootP services. Note: if the device connects to a Cisco switch, you must edit the device configuration in AutoIP to a an @ with the VLAN number, like '@502' for VLAN 502.

AutoIP BootP server is a separate Software package that can be purchased to work with IntraVUE™. Please contact your local IntraVUE™ salesperson or go to http://www.intravue.net for more information.

 

WAP (all children wireless)

Enabling this check box causes any children of this device to have a dashed line using the color that is appropriate for its line condition. This is automatically checked if the device is discovered to be a Wireless Access Point.

 

VM, HUB, or NON-SNMP SWITCH

The checkbox will cause all peer on the same port of the parent, managed switch, to become children of this device. It is provided as a convenience to using the MOVE function and works as new devices are discovered. Wireless APs should also have the WAP checkbox checked. A host computer with Virtual Machines can use this to make the VM sessions appear below the host PC.

 

NAT

This feature will work similar to the NON-SNMP where when this feature is enabled on this node all peer nodes will become children of this device.
