=========================================================================== $NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.1.1.1 2005/05/25 17:06:49 bouyer Exp $ Here is a summary of the steps needed to complete the netdisco setup. Please look at the documentation in ${PREFIX}/doc/ for details. - add the netdisco administrator(s) account(s) to the netdisco group - cd to ${PREFIX}/netdisco/sql/ and run ./pg_init, ./pg_run and ./pg_all to create the netdisco database in postgresql. This will prompt for a password which will then be used to access the netdisco database. Rememer this password as you will need it later. - edit ${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco.conf to suit your needs. You have to set the database password you entered in the previous step here. - Add a user to the netdisco system: ${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco -u joebob Give this user administration privileges, so that it will be able to create other users though the web interface. - Import the OUI database: ${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco -o - Add an appropriate crontab to user netdisco. ${EGDIR} contains an appropriate sample. - Include netdisco to your apache config. ${EGDIR} contains 2 config fragments: netdisco_apache.conf and netdisco_apache_dir.conf which can be inclued in the httpd.conf to make netdisco available though http://your.host.name/netdisco/ You will have to set the database password in netdisco_apache_dir.conf. If you are using apache2, make sure you load mod_apreq.so in addition to mod_perl.so, and that you have "PerlModule Apache::compat" - Make netdisco discover one of your devices: ${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco -d devicename - Make netdisco discover your network topology, if supported by your devices: ${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco -r devicename If not supported by your devices, you'll have to fill in ${PREFIX}/netdisco/netdisco-topology.txt. - start the admin daemon: /etc/rc.d/netdisco start ===========================================================================
