Configuring the NSM Software
6. Enter the primary IP address of your management server for eth0 (the default).
You can use the default IP address next to the first radio button or select the second radio button and then enter a different IP address. Each IP address you add (in addition to the default IP address) will be available in the drop-down list after you click the second radio button.
7. Enter the NSM superuser password in the top text box, and then reenter it in the text
box below it.
This password must be at least eight characters long and is case-sensitive. This password is used by the NSM superuser (also referred to as the NSM administrator). This user has the highest level of privileges in NSM.
8. Enter the GUI Server one-time password in the top text box, and then reenter it in the
text box below it. This password is used to authenticate this NSM server with other NSM servers with which it communicates. Regional servers use this password to authenticate peer servers in an HA configuration and to authenticate the central manager. The central manager uses this password to authenticate its peer server in an HA configuration and any regional servers it manages. NSM servers must have the same GUI Server one-time password, or the authentication will fail.
9. Select the license option. (This option is available only for regional servers.)
a. Select Base Install to use the built-in limited device license for as many as 25
devices.
