the upper one is 50°C (122°F).

Monitoring an NMS-connected interface

Typically, the device does not send notifications to its NMS when the IP address of an interface changes.

If the IP address of the interface used by the device to communicate with the NMS changes, the NMS will
be unable to communicate with the device unless the new management IP address of the device is

manually updated or the device is re-added with the new IP address to the NMS database.
To solve this problem, you can configure the device to monitor the NMS connected interface for IP

address changes and notify the NMS to update with the new IP address.
You can configure one primary and one secondary interface for the device to communicate with the

NMS, but the device monitors only one of them at one time. If the IP address of the monitored interface

in UP state changes, whether because of manual reassignment or DHCP reassignment, the device

notifies the NMS of the new IP address.
The device preferentially monitors the primary interface. H3C recommends you specify the interface that
the optimal route uses to reach the NMS or that has more reliable link as the primary.
The device selects a new interface to monitor when the primary interface goes down, the interface IP

address is deleted, or the role of the interface is removed by using the undo nms { primary | secondary }

monitor-interface command.

NOTE:

Make sure you have configured the NMS as the SNMP notification destination host. For more
information, see

Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

The monitoring function only applies to interfaces that use IPv4 addresses.

To monitor NMS-connected interfaces:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Specify NMS-connected
interfaces.

Specify the primary interface:

nms primary monitor-interface

interface-type interface-number

Specify the secondary

interface:

nms secondary
monitor-interface

interface-type interface-number

Use either command.
By default, the firewall does not
monitor any NMS-connected

interfaces.
