The NISH client can manage multiple different devices that have the same device name. This may occur in the following situations:
Multiple devices have the same configured system-name within the SR OS configuration.
Multiple devices have the same device-name configured within the remote-management context.
An SR OS device is reached through different proxies on different TCP ports.
If a device-name conflict exists when the NISH client is managing multiple devices, the device is presented to the operator in the MD-CLI in the following format.
device-name-ip-address-tcp-port
For example, two devices both named ‟mydevice” with different IP addresses appear as follows.
mydevice-172.16.100.3-57400
mydevice-172.16.200.5-57400
