database-client-policy global-config

Creates a database-client-policy and enters its configuration mode. The database-client-policy configures the IP address or hostname of the database host, and is used on the NSight/EGuest server‘s device context. However, the database-client-policy is required only in a split deployment, where the server and database are hosted on separate boxes. In such a scenario, the database-client-policy enables the server to identify the database host.

If enforcing database authentication, configure the user-name and password required to access the database on the database-client-policy. For more information on enabling database authentication, see database (user and privi exec modes).

Supported in the following platforms:

Syntax

database-client-policy <DATABASE-CLIENT-POLICY-NAME>

Parameters

database-client-policy <DATABASE-CLIENT-POLICY-NAME>
database-client-policy <DATABASE-CLIENT-POLICY-NAME> Specify the database-client-policy name. If the policy does not exist, it is created.

Once created and configured, use this policy in the NSight/EGuest server‘s device context.

To setup a database/server environment, with the database and the server hosted n separate hosts:
  1. On the database host, use the database policy. This brings up the database server.
  2. On the NSight/EGuest server, create the database-client-policy, and configure the database host‘s IP address or hostname.
    vx9000-34B78B(config)#database-client-policy DBClientPolicy
vx9000-34B78B(config-database-client-policy-DBClientPolicy)#database-server 192.168.13.10
    vx9000-34B78B(config-database-client-policy-DBClientPolicy)#show context
database-client-policy DBClientPolicy
  database-server 192.168.13.10
vx9000-34B78B(config-database-client-policy-DBClientPolicy)#
  3. Use this database-client-policy in the NSight/EGuest server‘s device configuration context. Once applied, the server posts details to the database specified in the policy.
    vx9000-34B78B(config-device-00-0C-29-34-B7-8B)#use database-client-policy DBClientPolicy
    vx9000-34B78B(config-device-00-0C-29-34-B7-8B)#show context include-factory | include database-client-policy
 use database-client-policy DBClientPolicy
vx9000-34B78B(config-device-00-0C-29-34-B7-8B)#
