Register SWEAP Instance

SWEAP stands for SNMP to WNMS External Agent/Proxy and is a software application that runs independently of WNMS and is able to turn any SNMP-enabled network device into a WNMS-friendly piece of equipment.

By default successfully installed SWEAP instance gets “Unregistered” state on WNMS server.
Follow the steps to register SWEAP on WNMS:

Step1. Navigate to the SWEAP menu to view list of connected SWEAPs to the WNMS server.

sweap1

Step 2. Click on a SWEAP name to load Details window where certain information about SWEAP instance is displayed. Click Register button for registration. Optionally the coordinates and heartbeat interval may be specified:

sweap2

There are 3 functional buttons that controls device settings:

  • Register – click to register the SWEAP . This button is active only if state is “Unregistered”.
  • Save – saves changes that were made on this page.
  • Delete – deletes particular SWEAP from the WNMS server. If deleted SWEAP continues to send heartbeats to WNMS server, it will appear on WNMS server under “Unregistered” state as soon as the first heartbeat will be get.

Step 3. The registration of the SWEAP has been finished successfully:

Add devices to SWEAP

After the SWEAP was successfully registered on the WNMS server, the required third-party devices can be added to the SWEAP for monitoring purposes. Follow the steps to add managed devices on the SWEAP:

Step 1. Create a Property mapping profile for the required third-party device. This profile will gather the main statistical information about third-party device ( based on SNMP OIDs or specified by fixed value ). Click Add new button and fill all mandatory fields with specific statistical information on SWEAP|Property mapping profiles page :

sweap4

The WNMS server has predefined several profiles for some third-party devices, a ccordingly the special profile must be created for each different type of the third-party devices

Step 2. To add devices to a SWEAP, select it and the table of Managed devices will appear below. Specify the IP address of the device, select the SNMP version, SNMP community, choose the correct Property mapping profile for the monitored device and click the Save button.

sweap5

Step 3. It will take a few minutes for the device to appear on the Inventory table with Unregistered state.
