How do I enable alarm reporting to identify duplicate NE system IP addresses?
Purpose
Enable the NFM-P to verify the uniqueness of NE system IP addresses.
When the verification is enabled, the NFM-P generates an alarm when an NE reports a system IP address that is in use by another NE.

CAUTION Service Disruption |
Modifying the server configuration can have serious consequences including service disruption.
Contact technical support before you attempt to modify the server configuration.
Note: You must perform the procedure on each main server in the NFM-P system.
Note: In a redundant system, you must perform the procedure on the standby main server station first.
Steps
1 |
Log in to the main server station as the nsp user. |
2 |
Open a console window. |
3 |
Navigate to the /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/config directory. |
4 |
Open the nms-server.xml file using a plain-text editor. |
5 |
Create a backup copy of the nms-server.xml file. |
6 |
Locate the section that begins with the following XML tag: <snmp |
7 |
Insert the following before the section end, which is marked by a /> tag: verifyNodeIdentity=”1" Note: If the inserted text and end tag are on the same line, you must include a space between the text and the end tag. |
8 |
Save and close the nms-server.xml file. |
9 |
On a standalone main server, or the primary main server in a redundant system, enter the following: bash$ /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/bin/nmsserver.bash read_config ↵ The NFM-P puts the configuration change into effect. |
10 |
Close the console window. End of steps |
