NSP NFM-P configuration (phase 3)

In the third phase, the NSP NFM-P secures the node and carries out the remaining commissioning steps on the node.

Throughout this phase, the node sends an SNMPv3 trap to the NSP NFM-P every15 seconds until the NSP NFM-P executes the tools>perform>auto-boot complete command.

There are two process options available on the NSP NFM-P during this phase. (See the NSP NFM-P user guides for more information about these options.)

1) One-step process – the NSP NFM-P performs all discovery and configuration activities on the node in one step. This allows ADP-Hm to run at the site location from start to finish. After Phase 3 is complete, the node is fully managed and secured. For more information about the one-step process, see One-step process details.

2) Two-step process – the NSP NFM-P configures critical security parameters on the node in the first step where operators can monitor progress in a DMZ or staging facility. After step one, the node is secured and fully managed by the NFM-P.

The node is transported to the installation site where the operator performs the second step. When the node is installed and powered on, the NSP NFM-P completes the network-level configuration for the node. The NSP NFM-P configures such things as default tunnels and services to the head-end nodes, or optionally adds the node to an existing network group encryption (NGE) domain.
