Using multiple management interfaces

Overview

A default SNMP management interface on an NFM-P main or auxiliary server is defined during NFM-P system deployment. To segregate the management traffic of different groups of NEs, for example, IPv4 and IPv6 networks, you can configure additional main and auxiliary server management interfaces.

After you create the required interfaces, you must define the management network and subnets to associate with the interfaces. The NFM-P subsequently attempts to discover the NEs in each network and subnet.

Note: In a segregated network, the same NFM-P management interface must be used for the in-band and out-of-band management of an NE.

When an NE is managed in-band and out-of-band using a non-default interface, you must assign the in-band and out-of-band subnets to the interface.
