Configuring the Network Console and using Quick Commands

You can use the NTWCONSD view to configure the Network Console by specifying the BMC AMI Ops Automation SSID. The NTWCONSD view displays the Network Console status and its parameters. 

To view the Network Console, use the Networks Console field to hyperlink to the AUXLOG view in BMC AMI Ops Automation. To define customized Quick Commands, use the hyperlink on the Quick Commands field in the NTWCONSD view.

You can access the NTWCONSD view by using one of the following hyperlinks:
