Custom Interface Attributes Form

[This is the context-sensitive link for the Interface Custom Attributes Form.]

Custom Attributes enable an NNMi administrator to add information to a node object. Custom Attributes can also be set by external applications that have been integrated with NNMi. See Custom Interface Attribute Samples.

The required settings for these attributes are described in the table below.

(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) Custom Attribute values can be replicated from a Regional Manager (NNMi management server) to the Global Manager. NNMi administrators for the Global Manager configure which Regional Custom Attributes they want (Global Manager: Configure Custom Attribute Replication). NNMi administrators can also configure Custom Attribute values that are unique to the Global Manager's environment (Customize Object Attributes).
