Managers can organize elements into domains and sub-domains and assign permissions to each, based on user group. Operators must enter a password to obtain access to permitted domains. The Cisco IP Manager software also partitions and controls data access. Service provider customers or their connected systems can be granted limited rights to view only those network elements which pertain to their part of the network. This is highly useful for networks that use the same infrastructure to provide services to multiple customers.
Selected users can create, read, update, or delete selected data.
Managers can limit visibility in sub-domains so that, for instance, a user can view or amend a router configuration, but cannot view or amend IP addresses within it. If your machine has sufficient resources, you can install all of these components on the same host, or you can deploy various elements to different hosts. Servers deployed on multiple hosts You can run multiple copies of the NEMServer file simultaneously. If you choose to install without using the Cisco-supplied script, any combination of servers and hosts is possible. The following sections describe the equipment that can be provisioned by the Cisco IP Manager software and the equipment required to run it.
