GNE drivers and new driver versions are developed and delivered on the same product release cycle as the NFM-P.

GNE drivers are installed with the NFM-P software. It is no longer necessary to obtain these drivers separately from the NSP software delivery site.

Driver compatibility information is located in the NSP NFM-P Network Element Compatibility Guide. Driver capabilities and driver-specific discovery and management information are provided in the appropriate domain user guides.

Note: The 9500 MPT-BWA device is a hardware variant of the MPT-SUB6. The NFM-P uses the MPT-SUB6 driver to manage the MPT-BWA.
