Discovery Configuration for Dynamic NAT and PAT

The NNMi administrator must create a Tenant definition to identify each dynamic NAT domain within your network management environment. Those Tenant names must be unique within the entire NNMi Global Network Management configuration.

Spiral Discovery requires a Discovery Seed (Tenant / IP address pair) to identify each Node within the NAT domain. The NNMi administrator must create a Discovery Seed for each Node in the dynamic NAT domain. A Discovery Seed must provide the following information for each Node:

  • Internal IP address (public address from the External Address/Internal Address pair)
  • Tenant name

Note When adding Discovery seeds (using the nnmloadseeds.ovpl command or the graphical user interface) in a dynamic NAT or PAT environment, be sure to use the node's internal IP address.

For more information, see the nnmloadseeds.ovpl reference page, the Linux man page, or the NNMi help.
