Tenants for Overlapping Address Domains

If your network uses any of the following address translation protocols, you must create a unique Tenant (other than Default Tenant) for each domain of nodes with addresses determined by the following protocols (see Configure tenants):

  • Static Network Address Translation (NAT)
  • Dynamic Network Address Translation (NAT)
  • Dynamic Port Address Translation (PAT/NAPT)

The configuration requirements vary, depending which protocol is used (see Overlapping Addresses in NAT Environments):

  • Any number of static Network Address Translation (NAT) instances can be monitored by one NNMi management server, as long as each instance is configured with a unique Tenant.
  • Each instance of dynamic Network Address Translation (NAT) or dynamic Port Address Translation (PAT/NAPT) must be configured as an NNMi Regional Manager, in addition to a unique Tenant. See Connect Multiple NNMi Management Servers (NNMi Advanced).
