Before You Begin
Before adding new monitored devices to DPOD, you may backup the objects that the DPOD will alter during the configuration phase, such as the XML management interface, the WS-M agent etc.
For detailed information regarding IDG DPOD related objects backup and restore see : Backing up and Restoring DPODs IDG related configurationBefore you add a new monitored device to DPOD, ensure to perform the following:
- Check routing and access from a monitored device:
The DataPower Gateway needs to route packets to DPOD Agents through the desired interface. Validate through the DataPower's [control panel->Troubleshooting->TCP Connection Test] - Log-in to DPOD Web Console
