5.3 Configuring communications

This section explains the following:

• Configuring SNMP proxy settings

• Using NETCONF for device support

• Discover and monitor VMware hypervisor-based virtual networks

• Discover and monitor Cisco ACI networks

• Multihomed NNMi Management Server

After reading the information in this section, see Configuring Communication Protocol in NNMi Help for specific procedures.

Note

It is a good idea to save a copy of the existing configuration before you make any major configuration changes. For details, see 4.2 Best practice: Save the existing configuration.

Configure the following areas of communication:

• Default settings

• Region definitions and their settings

• Specific node settings

  For specific nodes, you can enter node settings through the NNMi console or through a configuration file.

  Tip

  Double-check the ordering numbers for the defined regions. If a node qualifies for membership in multiple regions, NNMi applies to that node the settings from the region with the lowest ordering number.
