Auxiliary server installation workflow

Description

CAUTION Deployment Restriction

An NFM-P auxiliary server requires a dedicated station.

You cannot install the auxiliary server software on a station if another NFM-P component is installed on the station.

CAUTION Service Disruption

If the NFM-P system uses a firewall, you must ensure that the firewall allows the required traffic to pass between the auxiliary server and other NFM-P components before you attempt to install the auxiliary server.

See the NSP Planning Guide for port assignment and firewall configuration information.

This section describes how to install and enable an auxiliary server in a standalone or redundant NFM-P system.

Stages

The following is the sequence of high-level actions required to install and enable an auxiliary server in an NFM-P system.

1	Perform To install an NFM-P auxiliary server on the auxiliary server station.
2	Perform To add auxiliary servers to an NFM-P system to configure the auxiliary server communication with each main server.
3	An auxiliary server can use multiple interfaces for network management. The default network-management interface address is the public IP address of the interface that is used for main server communication. If you need to configure a different or additional network-management interface, see the NSP NFM-P User Guide for information about configuring an additional management interface on an auxiliary server.
