Chapter 5 Maintaining an Efficient Network
How Do I Modify the Network?
5.3.3 Changing IP Addresses for NEs
In Cisco MGM, the IP address field for an NE is read-only, and cannot be modified. If a user changes
the IP address on the MGX switch, Cisco MGM receives traps and updates the IP address on the clients
and in the database.
5.3.4 Viewing and Modifying the Server Configuration
The Control Panel window shows the Cisco MGM client and server configuration and allows
modification of the configuration. Certain modifications take effect immediately and change the active
server configuration. Other changes take effect when the server is restarted.
The different property sheets within the Control Panel window allow you to start or stop performance
monitoring services and NE services by NE type. Also use the Control Panel to start or stop
Cisco MGM GateWay/CORBA services. Only Cisco MGM users who are logged in as SuperUser or
SysAdmin can access the Control Panel. In the Domain Explorer, choose Administration > Control
Panel to view the Control Panel.
The following are listed in the Control Panel:
• UI Properties—Configure application-specific parameters.
• Security Properties—Configure Cisco MGM security parameters and specify usernames and
passwords for all the NEs.
