FS6300 NMS User Manual 2 • Discovering Your Network

–Geographical Area Name (Descriptive name of the geographical area)

–Node ID (This is permanent and cannot be modified).

–Node Name (Descriptive name of the node)

–Chassis ID (This is permanent and cannot be modified).

–Chassis Label (Descriptive label for the chassis)

–System Manager (Name of the person managing this subnet on the network)

–System Location (Description of where the system is located)

–Chassis Type (Choose a chassis type from the drop-down menu)

5.Click Update 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.

figure 13 shows a visual representation of container IDs in the NMS.
