NCA (Network Configuration Application)
This process is in charge of connecting to and talking to the agents
resident on the 7140/7170 or 7180 devices. It also connects to and
talks to the dns server and the backed process. It is the NCA that
updates configuration information of the dns server every time user
types a commit command.
Some of the messages that are logged by the NCA are:
Aug 2 12:13:27 madagascar NCA: NCA has
started.
This message is displayed when NCA tries to establish connection to
an agent on the specified port.
Aug 2 12:13:27 madagascar NCA: Connection
established to address 192.168.16.3 on port
1999.
When connection to an agent fails the following message is
displayed.
Aug 3 01:27:23 fox NCA: >>> Error: Connection
to address 192.168.16.27 on port 2037 has
failed.
Other major errors include the following:
