Configuration Overview
The ComAgent establishes the following connections:
- Automatic connections between all MPs having the same parent OAM server pair.
- Automatic connections between MPs that have different parent OAM servers, according to application-specific connection configuration rules. The application-specific connection configuration rules are provided with the system and augment the configuration rules built into ComAgent.
- Automatic connections between MPs with IP preference.
- Automatic connections between MPs and NOAM. The ComAgent application provides the configuration rules for these connections with the system.
- Manually configured connections between MPs and remote servers.
Remote servers are configured using the
GUI pages. The most
important attribute of a Communication Agent Remote Server is an IP Address
that can be reached via a server’s Internal Management Interface (IMI). The IP
address uniquely identifies the remote server and provides the means by which
the Communication Agent can establish transport connections to/from the remote
server. The remote server attributes include:
- Name
- IPv4 Address
- IPv6 Address
- Connection Mode: {client, server}
- Local Server Group: group of servers that should connect to the remote server
- IP Address Preference
Note:
Use and to perform this configuration.The
pages provide a way for you to create and configure Remote Servers and Connection Groups, and to assign a Connection Group to the services. This process can only be done from NOAM.By default, Communication Agent has the Remote Servers and Connection Status screens enabled.
The configuration is performed in the following order:
Note:
Default configuration of Routed Services has a pre-defined Connection Group associated with it. This screen can be used to manage user-defined Connection Groups associated with the service.
