How Do I Add and Delete Network Elements?
Step 4 Enter the following information:
a. NE ID
Note Do not use “MGM” as an NE ID because the Alarm Browser might contain Cisco MGM
alarms with the source ID “MGM.” It will be difficult to distinguish between NE alarms and
Cisco MGM alarms if they both have the same source ID (“MGM”). For the same reason,
do not cause Cisco MGM to automatically populate an NE whose NE ID is “MGM.”
If the NE ID field is left blank, it will default to the IP address. After communication is
established, Cisco MGM discovers the NE ID from the NE.
b. Operational state
c. SNMP Community String
d. SNMP Community String (Set)
e. NE Service Level User Name
f. NE Service Level Pass Word
g. Description
Step 5 Click Finish to add the new NE to the Domain Explorer tree.
Step 6 Wait two to five minutes while the Cisco MGM server completes the node discovery.
Step 7 Check to see if the communication state is correct. If Cisco MGM cannot connect to the NE, the NE
displays an unavailable communication state icon in the Domain Explorer tree.
