IP Address Capability Form

[This is the context-sensitive link for the IP Address Capability form.]

This form describes a capability added to the IP address object by NNMi or an external application. Capabilities enable NNMi and application programmers to provide more information about an IP address than what is initially stored in the NNMi database.

For example, NNMi uses the capability feature to identify an IPv4 Anycast Rendezvous Point IP AddressRendezvous Point addresses are loopback addresses used for routers in multi-cast network configurations. or IPv6 Anycast address. To exclude these addresses from polling, NNMi assigns following capability to the address: com.hp.nnm.capability.ipaddr.anycast

Note Because the values are generated by NNMi or an external application, Capability values cannot be modified. 

(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) Any Capability values added by an NNM iSPI are available on the Global Manager only if that iSPI is also running on the Global Manager.
