To open a single-user GUI client configured for one NFM-P system
Purpose
Perform this procedure to open a single-user GUI client that is configured to connect to only one NFM-P system.
By default, the NFM-P GUI client login form lists the main servers in one NFM-P system. If you manage multiple NFM-P systems at the same release, you can configure the login form to list the main servers in each system as login options; see the NSP Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Note: To perform the procedure, you must be logged in to the single-user client station as one of the following:
-
a user with sufficient permissions on the client files and directories, such as a local administrator
Steps
1 |
Double-click on the NSP NFM-P Client (server) icon on the RHEL or Windows desktop, where server is a main server IP address or hostname. If you are currently logged in to the NSP and have suppressed security messages, the NFM-P GUI opens. |
2 |
If the form in Figure 1-7, Do you want to run this application? is displayed, perform the following steps. If you are currently logged in to the NSP, the NFM-P GUI opens. Figure 1-7: Do you want to run this application? |
3 |
If you are not currently logged in to the NSP:
Enter your NSP user credentials, acknowledge the security statement, if present, and click SIGN IN. Note: If you do not enter valid credentials within the allowed authentication period, the splash screen indicates that the client has timed out; you must close the splash screen and return to Step 1. The client splash screen indicates that the client is loading, and then closes as the NFM-P GUI opens. Figure 1-8: Network Functions Manager - Packet clientEnd of steps |
