Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Configuring a Forwarding Filter to Limit Forwarded Nodes

The example creates a node group to enable regional1 to only forward node information for Procurve Model 3500yl switches to global1. To create a new node group and set these limits, complete the following steps:

From regional1’s Configuration workspace in the NNMi console, click Node Groups.
Click New.

Note Although this example explains how to create a new node filter, then use it to create a forwarding filter from regional1 and regional2, you can use any of existing filters to set up forwarding filters from a regional NNMi management server to a global NNMi management server.

Tip You can create a container node group that contains no devices or filters of its own; then use this node group to specify child node groups. Using this approach, you can forward node object data to global NNMi management servers using one container node group.
Click the Device Filters tab. Type global1 as the filter name and make any notes you need about the filter you are creating in the notes field.
Click the New icon to open a Node Device Filter form.
Using the pull-down, select the Switch Router Device Category, the Hewlett-Packard Device Vendor, and the HP Procurve 3500 Fixed-port Switch Device Family.
Using the pull-down, click Quick Find to open a Device Profile form.
Find and select the profile for the HP Procurve 3500yl Switch; then click OK.
Click Save and Close for each configuration form.
To test this filter, select global1.
Using the pull-down, click Show Members.
Notice that NNMi discovered 1 HP 3500yl switch already. This shows you that the filter you created is finding the specific switch models you configured it for. The next step is to configure the forwarding filter using this node filter you just created.
From regional1’s Configuration workspace in the NNMi console, click Global Network Management.
Click the Forwarding Filter tab.
Click Quick Find.
Select the global1 filter; then click OK.
Click Save and Close.

This completes the task of setting up a forwarding filter on regional1. After you complete step 1 through step 16 for regional2, you are ready to connect global1 to regional1 and regional2 as described in Connecting a Global Manager with a Regional Manager.
