Network Management System Exists

Identifies whether or not this device is being managed by a Network Management System. This is only settable by the management system and NOT by the CLI as it indicates existence of the manager. Different operations are performed based on this setting (i.e. no configuration synchronization processing is performed if there is no Network Management System).

The default is false.

Connection Status

The status of the connection between this device and the Network Management System, if one exists. This value can either be set directly by Network Management System or by the device internally when a SNMP request is processed from the Network Management System. For devices that are being proxied by another entity, since they are not being polled by the Network Management System, will set this state according to the communication channel state between this device and the connected entity.

The default is inactive.

Network Management System IP Address

This is the Network Management System IP address for which configuration synchronization messages and any other special handling is performed. This can be set either via CLI or the Network Management System.

Network Management System Block CLI

If TRUE, CLI only allows 'show' commands and cannot modify/add any data records. This is used by a Network Management System to prevent race conditions and to allow only single access to system resources especially during problem analysis times.

The default value is false.
