5.1.1 Local Hosts

A Local Host is the vSTP's logical representation of a local node, accessible over one or more transport connections, with which the VSTP can transact VSTP messages. The Local Host managed object encapsulates all the characteristics of the local node that the VSTP must know about in order to communicate successfully with it.

Select the VSTP, and then Configuration, and then Local Hosts page. The page displays the elements on the Local Hosts View, Insert, and Edit pages.

Note:

Data Input Notes apply to the Insert and Edit pages only; the View page is read-only.
