umask 022
if ( -f /opt/lnms/bin/opt_cshrc ) then
source /opt/lnms/bin/opt_cshrc
endif
• For the Korn shell, add the following lines to the .kshrc file:
umask 022
if [ -f /opt/lnms/bin/opt_kshrc ];then
. /opt/lnms/bin/opt_kshrc
fi
• For the Bourne shell, add the following lines to the .profile file:

You use the Optivity NMS Community Strings Editor to manage SNMP community strings, SNMPv3 information,
Telnet, and SSL settings when Optivity NMS is installed platformless. However, when integrated with a network
management platform such as Tivoli Netview, Optivity NMS uses the community strings of the platform software, and
the Telnet, SSL, and SNMPv3 settings entered in the Optivity NMS Community Strings Editor.
1 From the InfoCenter menu bar, choose Admin > Community Strings. The Community Strings Editor window
opens.
2 Use the Community Strings Editor to create community strings entries as appropriate for your network devices.
Some typical requirements are:
• For IP telephony devices and components, create community string and Telnet entries
• For MCS 5100 devices, create community string, SSL, and Telnet entries
• For BayRS routers, create community string and Telnet entries (to use protocol visualization features)
• For SNMPv3 devices, create Optivity user entries and enter authentication information and optionally private
protocol information.
Start AutoTopology Manager and discover your network resources
1 From the InfoCenter menu bar, choose Admin > AutoTopology Manager. The AutoTopology Manager window
opens.
2 From the AutoTopology Manager menu bar, choose Discovery > Enter Seed Specification. The Seed Information
dialog box opens.
