1.4 Preparing to use the NNMi Quick Start Configuration Wizard

You can run the Quick Start Configuration Wizard immediately after installation to configure NNMi in a limited (or test) environment. If you plan to use this wizard, complete the checklist in Table 1-2.

Table 1‒2: NNMi Quick Start Configuration Wizard preinstallation checklist

Completed? (y/n)	Preparation for initial environment configuration
	Determine a limited IP address range for auto-discovery#. For details about the number of licenses (number of management nodes), see 2.3 Licensing NNMi.
	Determine IP addresses for discovery seeds. For details about seeds, see About discovery seeds and auto-discovery rules in 2.2 Using the Quick Start Configuration Wizard.
	Obtain the read-only SNMP community strings for the nodes within the discovery range from your network administrator.
	Determine a user name and password for an NNMi administrator account.

If use of network address translation (NAT) means that you will be managing areas in the network that contain duplicated IP addresses, select one address domain (an unduplicated address) that is to be detected by the Quick Start Wizard. Then, see Overlapping Addresses in NAT Environments in NNMi Help or 13. Managing Overlapping IP Addresses in a NAT Environment.
