9.2 Configuring a New NMS with New Devices
If the AlliedView NMS is being installed for the first time and a new network is being configured, the network,
the devices, and the network interface to other networks need to be configured, as well as the AlliedView NMS.
Caution: Ensure the AlliedView NMS and the devices have layer 3 connectivity; if this is not
done, the devices will not be able to communicate with the AlliedView NMS server.
