How do I enable dynamic system IP address updates for 7705 SAR nodes?

Purpose

Allow the NFM-P to react automatically when the IP address of a 7705 SAR node changes, for example, after acquiring a new address via DHCP. 7705 SAR NEs are uniquely identified in the network by the System ID parameter. Before you attempt to enable dynamic system IP address updates, please consider the following:

The system ID of each 7705 SAR must be unique, or the NFM-P may update SDPs to point to an incorrect NE. You can configure the system ID parameter through CLI.
All 7705 SAR NEs in the network must be unmanaged before you attempt to perform the procedure.

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	Locate the following section: `<SARSysIPAddrChange` `enabled="false"` `ipRange="224.224.0.0"` `prefix="24" />`
6	Change `enabled="false"`.to `enabled="true"`.
7	Save and close the nms-server.xml file.
8	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.
9	Close the console window. End of steps
