How do I view adaptor information for an NE?

Adaptors list

The adaptors list for a managed NE provides information about the installed adaptors relevant to the selected NE.

Adaptors are sorted by purpose: the Used For column in the adaptors view shows the NSP function the adaptor is designed to support. You can filter the list by use, adaptor name, or adaptor version as needed.

Select an NE from the list in Device Management, Managed Network Elements and click (Table row actions), View applicable adaptors.

The Applicable Adaptors list is displayed.

Adaptor compatibility notes

• Adaptors from a previous NSP release can be used, but they do not provide access to any features added to the NSP in subsequent NSP releases.

• The same adaptor may work for more than one NE type or version. This means that you may see the same adaptor file name in NSP for two NEs that have different software releases or chassis types.

• The adaptor filename may refer to an earlier NE version than your NE is running. This means that the adaptor was created for the earlier version and is still applicable.
