Creating a Scope for CMP Servers

Note: This procedure applies to non-tiered CMP servers. See Creating a Scope for Multilevel CMP Servers.

Scopes allow you to control what areas or devices in a network a user can manage. The default scope, Global, contains all items defined within the CMP database. After you define a scope you can assign it to users.

    The content tree displays the User Management group.

  2. In the content tree, select Scopes.

    The Scope Administration page opens in the work area.

  3. Click Create Scope.

    The New Scope page opens.

  4. Enter the Name for the new scope.

    The name can only contain the characters A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, period (.), hyphen (-), and underline (_).

  5. Enter the Description/Location (optional).

    Free-form text.

  6. Select the Policy Server Groups included in this scope.
  7. Select the Network Element Groups included in this scope.
  8. Select the MRA Groups included in this scope.
  9. Click Save.
The scope is created.
