FOXMAN-UN prerequisites
License
The inventory report interface is a license key controlled option. The command lslicense returns a list of the activated options.
The following line shows whether the inventory report interface is licensed:
CLI northbound interfaces : yes
This key is shared with the other northbound interfaces.
If the inventory report interface is not licensed, an attempt to connect to the socket results in an error message, e.g. for a telnet session:
[nemadmin@nemsrv ~]$ telnet nemsrv 2500
Trying 172.31.33.231...
telnet: connect to address 172.31.33.231: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[nemadmin@nemsrv ~]$Authentication
The authentication process is based on the Login/Password CLI prompt. The authentication is successful if the Login/Password is valid according to the system authentication (PAM) and the user is registered as a valid user in the FOXMAN-UN, i.e. added via the FOXMAN-UN configuration application.
Access to all or part of the NEs in the managed network can be configured using FOXMAN-UN security. For details refer to 1KHW002412 FOXMAN-UN NEM Help System.
