--- title: "4th Step: Installing Operations Center Collectors" canonical: "https://docs.infoblox.com/space/NetMRIAdminG752/42369700/4th%20Step%3A%20Installing%20Operations%20Center%20Collectors" format: markdown --- Scan port configurations reside on each Collector appliance. The Operations Center Controller does no discovery or device management of its own; when you run `configure`` ``server` on the controller, you do not configure the LAN1 port. The following procedure applies only to Collector appliances. To begin setting up the Collector, you will need the following information  - The Management IP address of the appliance (this IP will be assigned to the MGMT port of the appliance) - The customer name for the network to which the appliance will initially connect and discover - The Default Gateway for the management port - The local domain name for the server network - Time zone and region information - DNS Server IP (and secondary DNS server IP if necessary) There are two possibilities for the basic IP configuration of each Collector: - Static IP addressing using the `configure`` server` command - The appliance uses DHCP, and the default values appear when you run the` ``configure`` server` command. In this procedure, we assume the use of a static IP address on the management network for each Collector. 1. Use a terminal program to connect to the management IP address of the Collector appliance. 2. Log in using the default *admin/admin* username/password account. 3. At the administrative shell command prompt, enter `configure`` ``server` and press **Enter**. 4. Complete the following: --- **Note:** If your Operations Center Collectors are configured through DHCP, default values from that service will appear here. Do not override DHCP settings while using the `configure`` ``server` command. In this procedure, we assume use of a static IP address on the management network for each Collector. --- 5. At the Admin Shell prompt, enter `configure server` and press **Enter**. 6. Press **Y** to respond Yes to begin system setup: `Do you want to start system setup now? (y/n) [n]: y` `Default values, when available, are given within [].` `You may clear defaults by typing a SPACE and pressing Enter.` `+++ Configuring Network Identification Settings` 7. Enter the new Database Name and press Enter. `Database Name is a descriptive name for this deployment. It is used in reports titles, headers, etc.` `Recommended: Begin name with uppercase letter.` `Database Name []:`` Corp100_west` 8. Enter the new Server Name and press Enter. `The Server Name identifies this system in SNMP and HTTPS server certificates.` `The installed HTTPS certificate contains the following subject:` `subject= /CN=NetworkAutomation-2210201208100028/O=NetMRI` `Server Name []:`` corp100_187` 9. For the first-time installation, you can choose to generate a new HTTPS certificate. `Do you want to generate a new HTTPS Certificate? (y/n) [n]: ``y` 10. Enter the local domain name in which the appliance resides. This value is used for truncating device names in NetMRI data sets throughout the system. `Domain Name 1 (e.g., example.com) []: corp100.com` `Domain Name 2 (optional) []:` 11. Enter the time server IP address if one is available: `Time Server [us.pool.ntp.org]:` 12. Enter the time zone region by typing in the suggested numeric value from the list: Time Zone Regions Choose your local region. `Time Zone Regions` ` Choose your local region.` | | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `0.` | `Africa` | `1.` | `Antarctica` | `2.` | `Arctic` | `3.` | `Asia` | | `4.` | `Atlantic` | `5.` | `Australia` | `6.` | `Brazil` | `7.` | `Canada` | | `8.` | `CET` | `9.` | `Chile` | `10.` | `EET` | `11.` | `GMT` | | `12.` | `GMT-1` | `13.` | `GMT+1` | `14.` | `GMT-2` | `15.` | `GMT+2` | | `16.` | `GMT-3` | `17.` | `GMT+3` | `18.` | `GMT-4` | `19.` | `GMT+4` | | `20.` | `GMT-5` | `21.` | `GMT+5` | `22.` | `GMT-6` | `23.` | `GMT+6` | | `24.` | `GMT-7` | `25.` | `GMT+7` | `26.` | `GMT-8` | `27.` | `GMT+8` | | `28.` | `GMT-9` | `29.` | `GMT+9` | `30.` | `GMT-10` | `31.` | `GMT+10` | | `32.` | `GMT-11` | `33.` | `GMT+11` | `34.` | `GMT-12` | `35.` | `GMT+12` | | `36.` | `Europe` | `37.` | `Hongkong` | `38.` | `Iceland` | `39.` | `Indian` | | `40.` | `Israel` | `41.` | `Mexico` | `42.` | `NZ` | `43.` | `NZ-CHAT` | | `44.` | `Pacific` | `45.` | `US` | `46.` | `UTC` | `47.` | `WET` | `Enter choice (0-47) [0]: 45` 13.

You define the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and subnet masks the default gateway IP address for the management port: `You must configure an IPv4 or IPv6 address/mask on the management port.` `NetMRI can perform analysis from the management port or a separate scan port.` `IPv4 Address (optional) []: 10.120.32.181` `IPv4 Subnet Mask (optional) []: ``255.255.255.0` `IPv6 Address (optional):` `IPv6 Prefix (optional):` `IPv4 Default Gateway (optional) []: ``10.120.32.1` `IPv6 Default Gateway (optional) []:` --- **Note**: When registering a Collector to the OC, make sure that they both are in the same time zone. Use the `configure server` command to set the Collector time zone to match the OC (US/Eastern). Changing the time zone requires a system reboot. --- 14. Enter **Y** (yes) to perform the step for configuring the LAN1 port on the collector appliance: `Do you want to configure the Scan Port? (y/n) [n]: ``y` `You must configure an IPv4 or IPv6 address/mask on the scan port.` `IP Address (optional) []: 10.0.60.181` `Subnet Mask (optional) [] ``255.255.255.0 :` `IPv6 Address (optional):` `IPv6 Prefix (optional):` `You must provide either an IPv4 gateway, an IPv6 gateway, or both.` `IPv4 Default Gateway (optional) [] ``10.0.60.1 :` `IPv6 Default Gateway (optional) []:` 15. Enter the address(es) of the primary and secondary DNS server, if required: `DNS Servers are used to map hostnames to IP addresses.` `You may enter up to 2 name servers below.` `DNS Server 1 (IP) []: ``172.23.16.21` `DNS Server 2 (optional) []:` 16. The setup utility lists the configuration settings and queries whether you wish to edit them. `Edit these settings? (y/n) [n]:` 17. The setup utility requests that you commit your settings. Enter to accept the **Y** (yes) default. `Configure the system with these settings? (y/n) [y]:` `Configuring system ...` `+++ Validating Interfaces ...` `+++++ eth0 ... OK` `+++++ eth1 ... OK` The Collector appliance restarts. You continue by installing the license for each Collector appliance.
