to save the information for all of the cards on that subnet.
If the same CH ID exists on cards in a different chassis unit but with the same subnet address, an alert is dis-
played asking if the cards need to be merged into one unit.
If the same CH ID exists on cards in a different chassis unit and with different subnet address, an alert is dis-
played that Chassis ID already exists.
This is to ensure uniqueness of Chassis IDs in the NMS.
The following details are also checked when modifying containers during multiple card configuration:
•
If there is already an entry for the GA ID and GA Name entered by the Admin
•
If not, a new record is added to the master-list.
•
If the master-list instead has an entry for GA-101-Michigan or GA-105-Maryland, an alert is displayed
requesting the admin to re-enter the ID/Name
The NMS also verifies containers to prevent duplication of ID and name for the Network Node.
•
If the values entered are successfully verified and found to be unique, these values are auto-updated in the
master-list table (mentioned with Option A above), in the background.
•
6300 NMS does not allow these records to be deleted from the 6300-Conatiner definition interface.
•
All cards in the selected chassis are configured with the new container IDs.
