To open a single-user GUI client configured for multiple NFM-P systems

Purpose

An NFM-P GUI client can be configured to connect to multiple NFM-P systems at the same release. After you configure a GUI client login form to list multiple NFM-P systems, as described in the NSP Installation and Upgrade Guide, perform this procedure to open a GUI client session on a specific NFM-P system.

Note: To perform this procedure, you must be logged in to the single-user client station as one of the following:

Steps
 
1 

Double-click on the NSP NFM-P Client (server) icon on the RHEL or Windows desktop, where server is a main server IP address or hostname.

2 

The form in Figure 1-9, Network Functions Manager - Packet client is displayed.

Choose a server from the drop-down list and click Sign In.

If you are currently logged in to the NSP and have suppressed security messages, the NFM-P GUI opens.

If the form in Figure 1-10, Do you want to run this application? is displayed, perform the following steps.

  1. To suppress the form when opening subsequent GUI sessions, select the check box.

  2. Click Run.

If you are currently logged in to the NSP, the NFM-P GUI opens.

If you are not currently logged in to the NSP:

Enter your NSP user credentials, acknowledge the security statement, if present, and click SIGN IN.

Note: If you do not enter valid credentials within the allowed authentication period, the splash screen indicates that the client has timed out; you must close the splash screen and return to Step 1.

The client splash screen indicates that the client is loading, and then closes as the NFM-P GUI opens.
