CHAPTER 4
Initial
Configuration
Completion of the initial configuration enables management of the VMG by the management
platform—Element Manager—which is built into the NPM or NPM2. The NPM system management
system is the VMG
Element Manager
, which is a a Web-based GUI for configuration, monitoring and
management of the chassis, NPMs, AMPs, TCMs, and VPMs. All configuration, monitoring and
management control are XML-RPC based.

Selenio
VMG
Physical
and
Virtual
IP
Addresses
To provide NPM redundancy, there are two types of IP addresses employed by the Selenio VMG:
physical and virtual. Each NPM installed in the Selenio VMG must have a physical address assigned to it
during the initial system configuration. See
“Using TCON (Temporary Console) to Set Initial
.
The Selenio VMG Element Manager uses 10.1.1.1 / 255.255.255.0 as the default IP address and subnet
mask.
Configuring a virtual IP address for the Selenio VMG system means that IP connectivity to the Selenio
VMG remains unchanged regardless of which NPM is active. Once the virtual IP address is configured
on the Selenio VMG, this address will be used for subsequent access to the active NPM (the
management interface) of the Selenio VMG.
