Creating a network plan

4.9 To navigate with the Keyboard

Creating a network plan

The monitoring of a network starts with the display of the network on the

network management interface. Industrial HiVision allows you to view your

network in different display variations at the same time, based on different

criteria.

For example, you can set up a network plan on the following criteria:

 display the actual physical environment

 display the most important connection nodes

 is based on the topology of your network, and so on.

You can display a device in several network plans by means of copying or

connections.

The network display is subdivided into the following items:

 Device detection

 Device arrangement

 Device mapping

 Device connections

Networks are generally undergoing constant modification. This involves the

following activities:

 removing devices

 adding new devices, and thus

 rearranging connections.

 Under Configuration > Preferences > Basics > Discover Devices,

you select your preferred device discovering method.

123

Creating a network plan

5.1 Device detection

Industrial HiVision provides 4 methods for discovering devices:

 Discovering devices using traps

After they are switched on, the devices send a switched-on message to

the network management station entered in the device. Industrial HiVision

evaluates this message and displays the devices in the default map

entered (see on page 322 “[Basics]”).

This method is suitable for use during ongoing monitoring in networks

where the bandwidth needs to be managed.

 Discovering devices using the HiDiscovery V1 protocol

The HiDiscovery V1 protocol uses the MAC address to communicate with

devices in the network on which the HiDiscovery V1 protocol is active.

This method enables you to detect devices in your network to which you

have not yet assigned a valid IP address.

Industrial HiVision displays the devices in the default map entered (see on

page 322 “[Basics]”).

This method is suitable for when you start up a newly installed network

and want to assign the IP address to the new devices.

 Discovering devices using a defined IP address range

Using Net Scan, Industrial HiVision periodically sends Ping and SNMP

requests to the devices with an IP address in the defined IP address

ranges. Industrial HiVision positions the devices thus detected in the

default map for this IP address range. When defining the IP address

range, you can assign a default map to each IP address range (see on

page 322 “[Basics]”).

This method is suitable for monitoring a running network. Adapt the

frequency of the requests to the bandwidth of your network.

 Discovering newly created devices

Industrial HiVision allows you to create a device manually and to assign

an IP address to the entry for this device. After the device is created,

Industrial HiVision can send an inquiry to this IP address in order to detect

it (see on page 132 “Creating new devices”).

 Discover devices from a list of IP addresses

Industrial HiVision allows you to scan IP addresses using a text or an

Microsoft Excel csv file. The “Create Devices from List“ dialog allows you

to search for and upload the file to Industrial HiVision. If a device in the list

is unreachable, then Industrial HiVision displays the device in the

topology map as a generic device. (see on page 255 “Devices from List”)

124

Creating a network plan

5.1 Device detection

5.1.1

Device Icons

After Industrial HiVision scans your network, the “Map“ tab displays the

results. The tab displays the various icons for the devices discovered during

the network scan. If the devices have a PSM assigned, then the tab displays

the PSM. Otherwise, Industrial HiVision displays an icon in accordance with

the status of the device.

The following list contains a description of the Industrial HiVision icons:

 Yellow cube -

The device only responds to ping requests.

 Blue cube -

The device responds to HiDiscovery V1 requests, but is not a Hirschmann

device.

 Hirschmann icon -

The device responds to HiDiscovery V1 requests. Industrial HiVision has

determined that the device is a Hirschmann device based on the MAC

address, but the device does not have a PSM.

HiProvision

HiProvision lets you monitor the Dragon PTN devices, tunnels, and services

running in the tunnels. The HiProvision icon displayed in Industrial HiVision

represents the Dragon PTN devices, tunnels and services.

You can download the HiProvision manuals from the Hirschmann document

web page: www.doc.hirschmann.com

Creating a network plan

5.1 Device detection

In order for you to add the HiProvision icon in Industrial HiVision proceed as

follows:

Perform the following steps in HiProvision:

 Navigate to the Dashboard> Tools> Add-ons> SNMP-Northbound>

Configuration tab.

 In the Agent frame, mark the Enabled checkbox.

 In the Agent> IP Address & Port field, type in the IP address of the PC

where HiProvision is running.

 You use the Port field to set the SNMP port that is used to communicate

with Industrial HiVision. The default port setting is 161. This is also the

default setting for Industrial HiVision.

 In the Agent frame, mark the SNMP v3 checkbox.

 Configure either the admin or user parameters. Configure the admin

parameters for device management. The user parameters only let you

monitor the device.

- In the Authentication Protocol drop-down list, select the required

authentication type.

Industrial HiVision uses either Md5 or sha.

- In the Encryption Protocol drop-down list, select the required

encryption type.

Industrial HiVision uses either None, Des, or Aes128.

Perform the following step in Industrial HiVision:

 Open the “Map“ tab.

 To add a new device to the topology, right-click an empty place in the

“Map“ tab.

 In the drop-down list, select New > Device.

 In the IP Address > Device > IP Address fields, type in the IP

address of the PC where HiProvision is running.

 You use the SNMP Port No field to set the SNMP port that is used to

communicate with HiProvision. The default port setting is 161. This is

also the default setting for HiProvision.

 In the Properties > Name field, type in HiProvision.

 Click the “OK“ button.

Industrial HiVision displays the HiProvision icon in the “Map“ tab.

The following worksteps explain how to monitor the “Tunnel List“ in Industrial

HiVision. You monitor the “Service List“ in the same manner.

 Make 2 tunnels in HiProvision, and name them Tunnel 1 and Tunnel 2.

 Verify that you have the “Edit Mode“ active.

 Double click on the HiProvision icon in the “Map“ tab.

5.1 Device detection

 Double click on the “Tunnel List“ entry in the “List“ tab.

 In the “Properties“ dialog, click the “Status Config“ button.

 Enter the values as displayed in (see figure 30).

 To add additional rows, use the “New“ button.

Figure 30: Status Configuration for HiProvision Tunnels

The “Tunnel List“ entry in the “List“ tab displays a green checkmark as long

as the entry only contains Tunnel 1 and Tunnel 2. If Tunnel 1 or Tunnel 2

go down for any reason, then Industrial HiVision displays the entry with an

error. If the entry contains another value, then Industrial HiVision displays the

entry as a warning.

5.2 Assigning device icons

5.2

Assigning device icons

To visualize the devices more clearly in the detail display, Industrial HiVision

allows you to assign different icons as default icons to the device types.

Figure 31: Device icons

In the state on delivery, Industrial HiVision detects a number of device types

(e.g. Hirschmann devices) and assigns the corresponding device icons to

these devices.

You can assign icons to other device types in the “Preferences“ dialog. To

differentiate the device types, Industrial HiVision provides you with the

following assignment characteristics in the device detection (see on

page 365 “Device Icon”):

 System Object Identifier (SysOID)

The SysOID denotes an MIB variable. As the SysOID of a manufacturer

MIB contains the manufacturer, you can use different icons here to

differentiate the devices on the manufacturer level. In the state on

delivery, Industrial HiVision contains the SysOIDs for Hirschmann,

Schneider, Siemens, Rockwell and Cisco.

 EtherNet/IP

Similarly to the System Object Identifier, EtherNet/IP devices contain

information about the manufacturer and the product. Here you can get

Industrial HiVision to assign the icons down to the device level.
