How do I enable alarm reporting to identify duplicate NE system IP addresses?
Purpose
Enable the NFM-P to verify the uniqueness of NE system IP addresses.
When the verification is enabled, the NFM-P generates an alarm when an NE reports a system IP address that is in use by another NE.

 CAUTION Service Disruption  | 
Modifying the server configuration can have serious consequences including service disruption.
Contact technical support before you attempt to modify the server configuration.
Note: You must perform the procedure on each main server in the NFM-P system.
Note: In a redundant system, you must perform the procedure on the standby main server station first.
Steps
1   | 
 Log in to the main server station as the nsp user.  | 
2   | 
 Open a console window.  | 
3   | 
 Navigate to the /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/config directory.  | 
4   | 
 Open the nms-server.xml file using a plain-text editor.  | 
5   | 
 Create a backup copy of the nms-server.xml file.  | 
6   | 
 Locate the section that begins with the following XML tag: <snmp  | 
7   | 
 Insert the following before the section end, which is marked by a /> tag: verifyNodeIdentity=”1" Note: If the inserted text and end tag are on the same line, you must include a space between the text and the end tag.  | 
8   | 
 Save and close the nms-server.xml file.  | 
9   | 
 On a standalone main server, or the primary main server in a redundant system, enter the following: bash$ /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/bin/nmsserver.bash read_config ↵ The NFM-P puts the configuration change into effect.  | 
10   | 
 Close the console window. End of steps  |
