Log on to a Domain

If you only have permissions in a single Domain, you automatically log on to the Domain when you log on to the Management Client. If you have permissions in more than one Domain, you must log on to the correct Domain before managing elements that belong to the Domain.

Note: You can be logged on to more than one Domain at the same time.

Steps

  1. Start the Management Client.
  2. In the Management Client Logon dialog box, select or enter the server’s IP address in the Server Address field, then enter a forward (/) or backward (\) slash and the name of the Domain.
    For example, 192.168.200.31/Example Domain or 192.168.200.31\Example Domain.

    Note: In an environment with multiple Management Servers, if you log on to a standby Management Server and you also log on to a Domain, the Domain opens on the standby Management Server.
