Hi,
I am working on connecting a switch and monitor it using DataMiner. I worked on getting the switches information and it worked, now how do I start sending information to the switch? Or where do I start?
Thank you.
As this question has now been inactive for a long time, I will close it. If you still want more information about this, could you post a new question?
Hi Jana - I presume you are referring to an IP switch, and when you say 'sending information, you refer to controlling the product?
In that case you can open the element in DataMiner and go to the Data Display page. If you have configuration metrics, you will be able to edit those and 'send that information' to the switch to change the config. Below is an example of some metrics on a switch in the Detailed Interface Info. As you can see there is a drop down for me to change the Interface Speed setting on any of the ports,
The control to change a metric can be different of course depending on the type of parameter, you can find more information about that over here: Updating the value of a write parameter | DataMiner Docs
Of course, this is when do manual settings. You could also use the Automation Engine to write up scripts for more comprehensive and bulk settings across devices.
Hope this was the information you were looking for. If not, feel free to circle back.
Regards
Ben
I’ve successfully retrieved data using a GET request API from the switch. Now, I need to send a POST request to perform a set operation. How can I proceed with this?
Hi Jana – sounds like you are talking about a connector that you are building, right? And you have now implemented a GET and you are not sure how to do a POST now. Correct?
Yes, that is correct.
