How do I enable dynamic system IP address updates for 7705 SAR nodes?
Purpose
Allow the NFM-P to react automatically when the IP address of a 7705 SAR node changes, for example, after acquiring a new address via DHCP. 7705 SAR NEs are uniquely identified in the network by the System ID parameter. Before you attempt to enable dynamic system IP address updates, please consider the following:
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 |
Locate the following section: <SARSysIPAddrChange enabled="false" ipRange="224.224.0.0" prefix="24" /> |
6 |
Change enabled="false".to enabled="true". |
7 |
Save and close the nms-server.xml file. |
8 |
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. |
9 |
Close the console window. End of steps |
