Cisco Systems OL-11291-01 Manual De Usuario

In addition to defining source routers, targets, and collectors from their respective Configuration 
windows, you can define them using seed files. A seed file is a text file containing the information 
required to define one or more components. This is especially useful if you must add a large number of 
sources, targets, or collectors quickly.

You must create a separate seed file for each type of component. For example, you cannot mix source 
router definitions and collector definitions in the same seed file.

The following sections provide detailed information about seed files:

To create a source router, target, or collector seed file:

Using any text editor, create a component-specific seed file following the format described in 

. 

Sample seed files for each type of component are shown in 

Save the source router seed file as a text file. 

The following table lists the default IPM seed file names and directories.

If you installed IPM in a directory other than the default directory, you must specify that directory 
instead of /opt (for Solaris) or C:\Program Files\Internetwork Performance Monitor\ (for Windows).
