Chapter 6. Configuring Your NMS

Now that you have picked out some software to use in your environment, it's time to talk about installing and running it. In this chapter we will look at a few NMS packages in detail. While we listed several packages in Chapter 5, we will dig into only a few packages here, and we'll use these packages in examples throughout the rest of the book. These examples should allow you to get most other SNMP-based network-management packages up and running with very little effort.
