To configure a global entry using the Local Host Entity Manager

Before you begin

Consider the following regarding global and discovered entries:

  • You can modify the Name and Description parameters for both global and discovered entries.

  • You can modify the IP Address and Port Number parameters for global entries, but not for discovered entries. The 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 Transport tab of the Global Entry properties form.

  • Discovered entries cannot be deleted. They will automatically disappear when the corresponding local-host is deleted.

  • Whenever the IP Address and Port Number of an IP transport local-host is modified using CLI or the NFM-P, the old discovered entry with the old IP Address and Port Number is deleted and a new discovered entry is added automatically, with a modified IP Address and Port Number.

  • All discovered entries from an NE are automatically deleted if the node is unmanaged/deleted from the NFM-P.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Tools→Local Host Entity Manager from the NFM-P main menu. The Local Host Entity Manager form opens.

2 

Click Create. The Network Wide Local Host (Create) form opens.

3 

Configure the required parameters on the General tab and click Apply. The global entry is listed on the Local Host Entity Manager form.

Once you have added remote-hosts to an IP transport, you can click on the IP Transports tab to view the associations of the IP transports and their remote-hosts. Associations can be seen for both global and discovered entries. Associations are dynamic; the association is automatically removed if an entry is deleted as a remote-host for its IP Transport.

4 

Close the forms.
