Global Manager: Connect to a Regional Manager

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the for the Global Network Management form: Forwarding Filter tab.]

(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) As administrator, you can set up this NNMi management server as a Global Manager that displays information from other NNMi management servers (Regional Managers).

Tip If the group of nodes being managed by a Regional Manager includes nodes already being managed by the Global Manager, the duplicate information from the Regional Manager is not imported into the Global Manager's database. If two Regional Managers are managing the same node, only the first instance to be forwarded is added to the Global Manager's database. Also see, About Multi-Tenancy and Global Network Management

To enable communication from this NNMi management server to another in your network:

Prerequisites:

Each NNMi management server must have a static, routable IP address as the Management Address (for all SNMP/ICMP communication). See Configure default SNMP, management address, and ICMP settings and Specific Node Settings Form (Communication Settings).

All NNMi management servers in your network environment that participate in Global Network Management (Global Managers and Regional Managers) or Single Sign-On (SSO) must have their internal time clocks synchronized in universal time.

Caution Use a Time Synchronization program, for example, the Linux tool Network Time Protocol Daemon (NTPD) or one of the available Windows operating system tools.
Navigate to the Global Network Management form.
1. From the workspace navigation panel, select the Configuration workspace.
2. Select the Global Network Management form.
Select the Regional Manager Connections Tab.
Do one of the following:
- To create a new configuration, click the New icon.
- To edit a configuration, click the Open icon in the row representing the configuration you want to edit.
- DO NOT delete a configuration (the Delete icon). See Disconnect Communication with a Regional Manager for more information.
In the Regional Manager form, provide the basic configuration settings (see basic settings table).
From the Connection tab, navigate to the Regional Manager Connection form (see Global Manager: Configure Regional Manager Connection for more information). Do one of the following:
- To create a new connection, click the New icon.
- To edit a connection, select a row, click the Open icon.
- To delete a connection configuration, select a row and click the Delete icon.
Click Save and Close to return to the Regional Manager form.
Click Save and Close to return to the Global Network Management form.
Click Save and Close. NNMi establishes communication with the specified Regional Manager. That NNMi management server now forwards information about discovery and monitoring results to this NNMi management server.

Tip To verify that the connection is working, see Determine the State of the Connection to a Regional Manager.
