Starting Network Infrastructure Manager
1 Launch the NIM Client
Launch the NIM client as you would launch other applications on your host. For
example, Windows users can select Network Infrastructure Manager from the
Start>Programs>Extreme Networks>ISM Provision>Applications
menu. Solaris
users can launch the nim executable file from the /opt/extreme/ismprov/bin
directory by using a graphical file manager application to double-click on its icon, or
by typing:
/opt/extreme/ismprov/bin/nim
Once the application starts, you will see the login screen similar to the one shown in
Figure 2-1.

2 Specify the ISM Provision Server
Once the login screen appears, you will specify the ISM Provision server. Specify the
IP address of the server or the hostname by typing it into the server field. Figure 2-2
shows the login screen and server field in more detail (if the server is on the same
host as the NIM client, you can also specify “localhost”).
NIM will store the IP addresses and names that you have specified in previous
sessions, so you may find your server already specified, or you may be able to select
