2.
From the drop-down menu, select which type of container you want to add. You should add the Geo-
graphical Areas first, then add the Nodes in that area, then add the Chassis Labels in the Nodes. Each Geo-
graphical Area-Node-Chassis combination is unique, and may only be applied to cards in one chassis-
subnet.
–
Geographical Area (GA):
The Geographical Area ID must be numerical, and cannot be changed once it
is added to the system. However, the Name may be modified at any time.
–
Node Name (NN):
Add nodes in the network to a Geographical Area. You may also add details such as
system manager and system location.
–
Chassis Label:
The Chassis ID must be numerical, but the Label Name is optional.
Note
The GA ID must be unique across the entire NMS. The NN ID
must be unique across the entire Geographical Area it is under. The
Chassis ID must be unique across the entire Network Node it is
under.
