To configure a management network

Purpose

Perform this procedure to create a management network and subnets to segregate the traffic between the non-default management interfaces on the main and auxiliary servers.

Steps


1	Choose Administration→System Information from the NFM-P main menu. The System Information form opens.
2	Click on the Management Networks tab.
3	Click Create. The Management Network (Create) form opens.
4	Configure the required parameters.
5	Click on the Management Interfaces tab.
6	Click Add. The Select Interface for Management Network (Create) form opens.
7	Click Search. The management interfaces are listed. Note: The default management interfaces are not listed.
8	Select an interface and click OK.
9	In a redundant NFM-P system, you must assign one interface from each main server to a managed network. To add another interface, repeat Step 6 to Step 8 .
10	Click on the Management Subnets tab.
11	Click Create. The Management Subnet (Create) form opens.
12	Configure the required parameters. Note: The Subnet Address value that you specify must include a mask that is between /24 and /32 for IPv4 NEs, and between /120 and /128 for IPv6 NEs. The subnets must not overlap.
13	To create an additional subnet, click Apply to save your changes and repeat Step 12 . Otherwise, click OK to save your changes and close the form.
14	Click Apply to save your changes. The NFM-P attempts to discover NEs in the subnets using the associated interfaces. The discovered NEs are listed on the Member Network Elements tab.
15	Save your changes and close the forms.
16	If you are performing this procedure for device discovery, see Workflow for device discovery for the next steps. End of steps
