Component re-IP
The MCS software components belong to three broad categories based on their
interactions with the System Manager:
• Managed: The System Manager manages the core MCS components, such as
the Accounting Manager, IP Client Manager, Database, Provisioning
Manager, and Session Manager.
• Monitored: Some components are monitored, but not managed, by the System
Manager. These components can be running on a server that does not support
re-IP.
• Informational: Some components are neither managed nor monitored by the
System Manager. The System Manager has access to only the IP addresses of
these components.
The System Manager maintains an address table, which is a central record of all
IP addresses in the network. Any software component that falls outside the scope
of Managed, Monitored or Informational does not appear in the address table, and
is not covered by this feature.
Administrators with sufficient privileges can add to, edit, or delete entries in the
address table by using a script, or by using the System Management Console. The
system displays a confirmation message before it applies the changes. After you
confirm your changes, the system applies them to all MCS components that are
managed by the System Manager. See “Editing the address table” on page 37.
The Complete re-IP feature adds two services:
• The Informational Element service provides type information, and replaces
the Third Party Trusted Devices configuration service.
• The External Nodes configuration service allows you to add multiple
Informational Elements with the same IP address and different ports.
To locate these services, in the System Management Console, in the configuration
view, expand Network Data and Mtc. For a practical application, see “Trusted
node configuration” on page 112.
