To configure a management network
Purpose
Perform this procedure to create a management network and subnets to segregate the traffic between the non-default management interfaces on the main and auxiliary servers.
Steps
1 |
Choose Administration→System Information from the NFM-P main menu. The System Information form opens. |
2 |
Click on the Management Networks tab. |
3 |
Click Create. The Management Network (Create) form opens. |
4 |
Configure the required parameters. |
5 |
Click on the Management Interfaces tab. |
6 |
Click Add. The Select Interface for Management Network (Create) form opens. |
7 |
Click Search. The management interfaces are listed. Note: The default management interfaces are not listed. |
8 |
Select an interface and click OK. |
9 |
In a redundant NFM-P system, you must assign one interface from each main server to a managed network. To add another interface, repeat Step 6 to Step 8 . |
10 |
Click on the Management Subnets tab. |
11 |
Click Create. The Management Subnet (Create) form opens. |
12 |
Configure the required parameters. Note: The Subnet Address value that you specify must include a mask that is between /24 and /32 for IPv4 NEs, and between /120 and /128 for IPv6 NEs. The subnets must not overlap. |
13 |
To create an additional subnet, click Apply to save your changes and repeat Step 12 . Otherwise, click OK to save your changes and close the form. |
14 |
Click Apply to save your changes. The NFM-P attempts to discover NEs in the subnets using the associated interfaces. The discovered NEs are listed on the Member Network Elements tab. |
15 |
Save your changes and close the forms. |
