A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. 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.

Use the Tenant Form

[This is the context-sensitive link for the Tenants Configuration form]

NNMi's Tenant configuration settings are useful for a variety of situations. Review the Tenant information so you know about all your options. See Configure tenants for more information.

NNMi provides a Tenant named Default Tenant. NNMi administrators can create additional Tenant objects as needed. A discovered node that is not specifically assigned to a particular Tenant, automatically becomes a member of the Default Tenant. NNMi administrators can change a Node's Tenant assignment at any time. Depending on the network environment, the NNMi administrator decides whether or not additional Tenants are needed.

When additional Tenants are defined, Tenant assignments are visible in the Node form's Basic Attributes and in the Tenants column of the Inventory > Nodes view.

Devices that belong to the Default Tenant can have Layer 2 Connections to any device in any Tenant. Devices within any Tenant other than Default Tenant can have Layer 2 Connections only to devices within the same Tenant or the Default Tenant.

Tip Assign any infrastructure device that interconnects multiple NAT domains (such as a NAT gateway) to the Default Tenant. This ensures that NNMi displays the Layer 2 Connections your team and customers need to see.

NNMi administrators can easily change a Node's Tenant assignment at any time, see Change Tenant Assignment for a Node.

To configure a Tenant, do the following:

Navigate to the Tenants view.
1. From the workspace navigation panel, select the Configuration workspace.
2. Select Discovery.
3. Select Tenants.
4. Do one of the following:
  - To create a new configuration, click the New icon.
  - To edit an existing configuration, double-click the Tenant definition you want to edit.
  - To delete a configuration, select the Tenant definition you want to delete and click the Delete icon.
Make your configuration choices. (See the Tenant Attributes table.)
Click Save and Close.
Best practice: If the Tenant participates in a Global Network Management environment, replicate the Tenant configuration to the Global Manager.
The Tenant attribute displays on each Node form (use the drop-down list to change the assigned Tenant attribute value, or use nnmsecurity.ovpl).

NNMi administrators use the Tenant object to do the following:
- Associate a Tenant with each Discovery seed - before discovery (Specify discovery seeds ).
- Enable monitoring of nodes with addresses provided by static Network Address Translation (NAT), dynamic Network Address Translation (NAT), or dynamicPort Address Translation (PAT/NAPT), see Overlapping Addresses in NAT Environments.
- Specify Node Group Additional Filters
- Populate the Tenant attribute on the Node form (see Custom Incident Attributes Provided by NNMi (Information for Administrators)).

Tenant Attributes
Attribute	Description
Name	Enter the name that uniquely identifies this Tenant. If your team uses NNMi's Global Network Management feature, before choosing a name, see About Multi-Tenancy and Global Network Management. Note You must enter a Name value.
UUID	NNMi assigns a Universally Unique Object Identifier to the Tenant. This UUID is unique across all databases.
Description	Type a maximum of 2048 characters to describe this User Group. Alpha-numeric, spaces, and special characters (~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _+ -) are permitted.
Initial Discovery Security Group	The Initial Discovery Security Group specifies the Security Group assigned to any seed associated with this Tenant object (before discovery). See Tenant and Initial Discovery Security Group Assignments and About Security Groups. Caution Devices within the Default Security Group are visible from all views. To control access to a device, assign that device to a Security Group other than Default Security Group. NNMi administrators can assign each Node within one Tenant to a different Security Group. In the Initial Discovery Security Group attribute, do one of the following: To change the Initial Discovery Security Group, begin to type a valid Security Group Name and use the auto-complete feature to select the Security Group. Tip You can also select Quick Find from the Lookup field drop-down list. This option is useful when you want to see more than the Security Group Name when determining which Security Group to select. To create a new Initial Discovery Security Group, in the Lookup field, select the New icon.
