To modify a global entry

Before you begin

Global entries are user-created entries in the Local Host Entity Manager. These entries (IP Address and Port Number) are generally those of either third party servers, or NEs that are un-managed in the NFM-P. The NFM-P allows modification of global entries. When the IP Address and Port Number parameters of a global entry are modified, these parameters are modified correspondingly across all matching remote-hosts in the network. This would allow seamless migration among third part servers.

Consider the following:

  • This procedure is applicable only to global entries. The IP Address and Port Number parameters of discovered entries cannot be modified.

  • 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 Transports tab of the Global Entry properties form.

  • Modification of the Name and Description parameters remains a local change in the global/discovered entry and they are not propagated across matching remote-hosts in the network.

  • Deletion of a global entry will only delete the entry from the NFM-P. It will not delete matching remote-hosts in the network.

Steps
 

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


Select a global entry in the list and click Properties. The Network Wide Local Host (Edit) form opens.


On the General tab, configure the IP Address and Port Number parameters.


Click OK to confirm your actions.


Close the form.
