To configure a global entry using the Local Host Entity Manager
Before you begin
Consider the following regarding global and discovered entries:
-
You can modify the Name and Description parameters for both global and discovered entries.
-
You can modify the IP Address and Port Number parameters for global entries, but not for discovered entries. The modification of the IP Address and Port Number parameters of a global entry is propagated to all matching remote-hosts in the network. These matching remote-hosts can be viewed on the IP Transport tab of the Global Entry properties form.
-
Discovered entries cannot be deleted. They will automatically disappear when the corresponding local-host is deleted.
-
Whenever the IP Address and Port Number of an IP transport local-host is modified using CLI or the NFM-P, the old discovered entry with the old IP Address and Port Number is deleted and a new discovered entry is added automatically, with a modified IP Address and Port Number.
-
All discovered entries from an NE are automatically deleted if the node is unmanaged/deleted from the NFM-P.
Steps
1 |
Choose Tools→Local Host Entity Manager from the NFM-P main menu. The Local Host Entity Manager form opens. |
2 |
Click Create. The Network Wide Local Host (Create) form opens. |
3 |
Configure the required parameters on the General tab and click Apply. The global entry is listed on the Local Host Entity Manager form. Once you have added remote-hosts to an IP transport, you can click on the IP Transports tab to view the associations of the IP transports and their remote-hosts. Associations can be seen for both global and discovered entries. Associations are dynamic; the association is automatically removed if an entry is deleted as a remote-host for its IP Transport. |

Close the forms. End of steps |
