Indigo Pro appliance, rear panel

After rack-mounting the Indigo Pro appliance, apply power by connecting the supplied AC power cords to the two power supplies on the rear of the chassis. Plug them into two independent power sources for redundancy. Only one power supply needs to be connected if redundant power is not a concern. If you use only one power supply, press the red button next to the supplies to silence the alarm. See the Indigo Pro User Guide for safety precautions.

After connecting the power cords, press the power button on the front of the unit to apply power. The power button is recessed, so use a pen tip or straightened paper clip to press it.

Configuring the IP AddressOn the rear panel, connect network port eth0 to your network with a standard CAT5 cable. Attach a keyboard, video display, and mouse (KVM) so you can configure the IP address for the unit.

To configure the IP address for the unit:

1. With the KVM, the Linux desktop appears. Log in using the username “root” and password “netoptics”.

2. Click System >> Administration >> Network on the command bar to access the Network Configuration window.

Logging into Indigo ProTo log Indigo Pro, type https:// and the Indigo Pro appliance’s IP address. Click through any security warnings and enter your username (default admin) and password (default netoptics) into the login screen. If you see a message prompting you to install a license, see the Indigo Pro User Guide for instructions. The license determines whether Indigo Collector Pro or Indigo Manager Pro functionality is available, and how many devices can be managed.

Discovering DevicesBefore you can begin monitoring traffic and devices, you need to create a network topology tree and have Indigo Pro populate it by discovering the devices you want to manage. Indigo Pro discovers Net Optics devices in the subnet ranges you specify, and assigns them to the selected nodes of the network topology tree.

To create a network topology tree:

1. Right click the Network Topology (top level) node of the network topology tree at the left side of the screen. The Add Region window opens.

Using Indigo Collector ProIndigo Collector Pro turns your Net Optics devices into remote traffic sensors so you can monitor traffic conditions throughout your network. Traffic statistics are collected through SNMP polling of devices, and also by receiving ProPushTM statistics that are pushed out by some Net Optics devices as often as once per second. Indigo Pro stores all received traffic statistics in a database and provides rich visualization tools that make it easy for you to analyze past traffic patterns or find out what is happening on the network right now.Some of the key features of Indigo Collector Pro are described here. See the diagram on the next page for indications of where to click to access some of the features.Key features:• View device traffic statistics. Right-click a device in

the network topology tree and select Show Statistics. (The statistics view is fixed for each device type; you cannot reconfigure it.) Open views of as many as five devices at once and tab between them.

• Create a dashboard of snapshot and historical data. Click the Dashboard tab immediately below the top menu bar to display the dashboard view. Click at the bottom left corner to open the Create Report window. Fill in the form to create a new report (graph) in the dashboard.
