To modify a global entry

Before you begin

Global entries are user-created entries in the Local Host Entity Manager. These entries (IP Address and Port Number) are generally those of either third party servers, or NEs that are un-managed in the NFM-P. The NFM-P allows modification of global entries. When the IP Address and Port Number parameters of a global entry are modified, these parameters are modified correspondingly across all matching remote-hosts in the network. This would allow seamless migration among third part servers.

Consider the following:

  • This procedure is applicable only to global entries. The IP Address and Port Number parameters of discovered entries cannot be modified.

  • Modification of the IP Address and Port Number parameters of a global entry is propagated to all matching remote-hosts in the network. These “matching” remote-hosts can be viewed on the IP Transports tab of the Global Entry properties form.

  • Modification of the Name and Description parameters remains a local change in the global/discovered entry and they are not propagated across matching remote-hosts in the network.

  • Deletion of a global entry will only delete the entry from the NFM-P. It will not delete matching remote-hosts in the network.
