9500 MPR/9500 MPRe NEtO support
You can install and launch the 9500 MPR external element manager, the NEtO, from
the 5620 SAM GUI. See Procedure 4-3 for information about installing and
launching the NEtO.
NEtO distribution through the 5620 SAM
The 5620 SAM manages the distribution of the NEtO application and all related
profiles. Any discovered 9500 MPR has all cross-launch paths automatically
configured in policies so that no user configuration is required to use the NEtO. The
cross-launch function also supports the option to run TACACS+ in the network, in
which case NEtO has a NULL authentication when cross-launched, and the user is
prompted for a username and password.
The first time a user cross-launches the NEtO, the 5620 SAM Java Webstart installs
the application on the 5620 SAM client system. Any update to the NEtO installation
files on the 5620 SAM server results in an update to the NEtO installation on the
client system.
The 5620 SAM supports the selection of user profiles to access the NEtO. The
Admin NEtO launch, Viewer NEtO launch, and Default NEtO launch are listed in
the scope of command roles that allows you to access the NEtO for a specific user
profile. See the appendix to the 5620 SAM System Administrator Guide for the list of
scope of command roles. See Procedure 4-4 for information about configuring a
scope of command role to access the NEtO for the required user profile.
During an upgrade, the 5620 SAM leaves property files in place for existing NEs,
retaining any user edits made to support the NEs. An operator can change the
property files to change the login behavior, as described in Procedure 3-3. The Install
Directory property is a property required only by 5620 SAM releases earlier than
10.0 R5; the current 5620 SAM release manages the NEtO installation. See the
applicable 9500 MPR Release Notice for the supported versions of NEtO.
Note 1 — For the 9500 MPRe, the NEtO cross-launch only occurs if
the 9500 MPRe registration table entry has not reached the limit of 15
entries.
Note 2 — A 9500 MPR SAM-E license restricts the 5620 SAM
functionality to basic node management in scenarios where NEtO is
used for service management. For a comparison of management
functionality with a 5620 SAM-E license, compared to service
management with the NEtO, see Appendix A.
