Description
If you are using TACACS/RADIUS then you can
enter a password here. See VTY Password above.
Note If you enter a TACACS/RADIUS
username and password here, the
application will use these values
regardless of who is currently logged in.
Users can also enter their own username
and password when issuing show
commands.
If this box is checked, CMM will cache the
TACACS username and password until the
browser is closed. This eliminates having to enter
the username and password each time you issue a
router command from the application.
Performs DNS lookups on all sources found. The
DNS name appears alongside the IP address on
the "Show All Groups" screen. If the server is not
configured for DNS, then DO NOT check the box.
If the box is checked, you may receiver a slower
response, due to the fact that the application is
trying to resolve names. This option is not
recommended if your network contains a large
number of S,Gs.
Some networks contain thousands of S,Gs.
During discovery,CMM caches all the S,Gs found
in the RPs. If this box is checked, CMM reads the
SG cache when showing lists of sources and
groups, rather then retrieving them again from the
RPs in the network. The cache is automatically
refreshed if RPs are being polled as described
later in this document (see the
section on page 1-28). The cache can also be
refreshed manually by clicking the Refresh
Cache button in the Multicast Diagnostics
window (see the "Show All Groups" section on
page 1-61). This button only appears if you have
the Use SG Cache option selected. It is highly
recommended to use the SG cache option. If there
are no RPs in the domain being discovered, then
the SG cache is created by querying all the devices
that have been discovered, as would be the case in
a PIM Dense-Mode network. In this case, the SG
cache is only updated when you click the Refresh
Cache button.
