The License Management option lets you manage the
interfaces exporting NetFlow data to NetFlow Analyzer, depending on the
license that you have purchased. To access the License Management
option, from OpManager go to Admin-> License Management.
The status box at the top of the page indicates the type of
license currently applied, the total number of interfaces currently
managed, and the number of days remaining for the license to expire.
Contact support@opmanager.com for upgrading your license.
The Router List shows all the routers and interfaces from
which NetFlow exports are received, and whether they are managed or
not.
Applying License for enabling the
NetFlow Analyzer
plug-in
Click here to apply the
license for enabling the NetFlow Analyzer plug-in. The process of
applying NetFlow
Analyzer plug-in license is the same as the one that is followed for
applying
OpManager license.
Note: If you have already running NetFlow Analyzer separately in your
network, you can use the same license for the plug-in also.
Once you have selected the required interfaces, click the Manage button to manage these interfaces. This means that flows received from these interfaces will be processed by NetFlow Analyzer, and traffic graphs and reports can be generated.
The maximum number of interfaces that can be managed, depends
on the current license applied.
To select the router and all its interfaces check the checkbox next to the router name. To select a specific interface, check the checkbox next to the interface name.
Click the Unmanage button to unmanage these interfaces. This means that flows received from these interfaces will be dropped by NetFlow Analyzer. Once unmanaged, these interfaces will not be seen on the Dashboard or be listed in device groups.
However they will
still be listed in the Router List in the License Management page.

Unmanaging an Interface will lead to bill generation for the particular interface, IF that interface has been selected for billing. |
To select the router and all its interfaces check the checkbox next to the router name. To select a specific interface, check the checkbox next to the interface name.
Click the Delete button to delete these interfaces. This means that these interfaces are completely removed from all screens of the NetFlow Analyzer client.
However, if flows are still being sent from these interfaces
to NetFlow Analyzer, they will reappear in the Dashboard. To prevent this, you
need to disable NetFlow export
from those interfaces.
If a NetFlow packet is received from a new interface, and the
number of interfaces presently managed is less than that allowed in the
current license, this interface is listed under Router List on the Dashboard with a message
saying new flows have been received. You need to then click the License
Management option and change this interface's status
to Managed in order to include this interface in the list of
managed interfaces, and also generate traffic graphs and reports for
the same.
If a NetFlow packet is received from a new interface, and the number of
interfaces presently managed is equal to that allowed in the current
license, you need to either unmanage
any other
managed interfaces, and then manage this interface, or leave this
interface in New status. In any case graphs and
reports can be generated only for managed interfaces.
