Description
is text that will follow the node number in various configuration record displays (as
shown after the node numbers at items B and E–M
in Figure 5-2 ).
Alternate NMP Node
identifies an ICP, INM, or N7000 NMP (via its attached node) that will act as follows:
●
If the local node is an FRX8000 Switch or N74/7500 without a locally attached
NMP, the alternate NMP Node will provide the local node with network
defaults and other network data.
●
If the local (FRX8000 or N74/7500) node has a locally attached NMP, or is an
ICP or INM, the alternate NMP Node will take over the local node’s man-
agement functions (receiving alarms, updating parameters, etc.) if the local node
loses contact with the network.
