To ensure management continuity, you can configure the device to monitor the NMS connected interface for IP address changes and notify the NMS to update with the new IP address for communicating with the device.
You can configure one primary and one secondary interface for the device to communicate with the NMS, but the device monitors only one of them for IP address change at one time. If the IP address of the monitored interface in UP state changes, whether because of manual reassignment or DHCP reassignment, the device notifies the NMS of the new IP address. The IP address changes of the interface not under monitor will be ignored.
The device preferentially monitors the primary interface. HP recommends you specify the interface that has better route or more reliable link as the primary.
The device changes the monitored interface only when the interface goes down, the interface IP address is deleted, or the role of the interface is removed by using the undo nms { primary secondary }
