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.

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
 

Log in to the main server station as the nsp user.


Open a console window.


Navigate to the /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/config directory.


Open the nms-server.xml file using a plain-text editor.


Create a backup copy of the nms-server.xml file.


Locate the section that begins with the following XML tag:

<snmp


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.


Save and close the nms-server.xml file.


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.
