When the Web LCT communicates with the GNE properly, you can create NEs in batches by searching for all NEs that communicate with the GNE, through the IP address of the GNE or the network segment the IP address is associated to. This method is quicker and more accurate than manual creation.
Procedure
- Click NE Search in the NE List. The Search NE dialog box is displayed.
- Click Manage Domain. The Manage Domain Search dialog box is displayed.
- Click Add, and the New Domain dialog box is displayed.
- Set Domain Type to GNE IP Domain or GNE IP Address, and enter an IP address in the Domain Address field.
- Click OK.
NOTE: You can repeat step 3 through 5 to add multiple search domains. - Click Cancel to exit the Manage Domain Search dialog box.
- Select appropriate network segment IP addresses within the search domain and click Search.
NOTE:
- The NE search function searches out only the NEs in the specified network segment.
- When the search is in progress, you can click End Search.
- After the search is complete, select an NE from the list and click Add NE. A prompt message is displayed, indicating that the NE is successfully added.
- Click OK.
- Optional: In the Search NE dialog box, select one or more non-gateway NEs and click Set Gateway NE to switch the non-gateway NEs to GNEs.
Follow-up Procedure
To prevent unauthorized operations on a new NE, change the default password for the NE user as soon as possible and subsequently change the non-default password at regular intervals.
After an NE is created, if you fail to log in to the NE, possible causes are listed as follows:
- The password for the NE user is incorrect. Enter the correct password for the NE user.
- The NE user is invalid or the NE user is already logged in. Change to use a valid NE user.
