Quick and dirty Startup-Tutorial
First, you need a server. In most environments you have to set up your own:
For Linux: type
neve/dist/bin/startserver.sh in a dedicated x-terminal.
Next, you need a client to view what you discovered in your network:
For
Linux: type
neve/dist/bin/starclient.sh & in a shell.
Well, now everything should have started up. If not, check if everything
is installed correctly:
Java and Java3D is needed and the classpaths have to be set correctly.
In the actual version, you have to use a webbrowser to take control of your
visualisation:
type
http://localhost:9090 in your webbrowser to see every object
on the visualisationserver.
They are sorted.
In Neve.Managementanwendungen you will find the installed
network applications.
Try a traceroute by clicking the link
name=Tracerouter, entering a
URL in the field and pressing
traceroute.
Of course, you'll have to wait. A traceroute takes time.
After the process has finished ("Traceroute successfull")
you need to do a layout of the visualisation. Go
Back to Agent view and se the name=LayoutService application
in Neve.Base for this. Enter 100 Iterations in doLayout
and press the Button or Return. Wait untill it finished.
Now you can enable the connection to the visualisationserver in the clientwindow
and you will see your traceroute.
By using your mouse and the functionality in
view Behaviour you can
now navigate in the 3D-visualisation.
Now you are ready to try the rest of the functions like the HTTPExample or
the VLANExample.
