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
 

Choose Tools→Local Host Entity Manager from the NFM-P main menu. The Local Host Entity Manager form opens.


Click Create. The Network Wide Local Host (Create) form opens.


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.
