ncp_webtool command-line options
Use the ncp_webtool command to run the Web tools on the backend server.
Usage considerations
The ncp_webtool process transfers the running of the Web tools to the backend server in environments where Topoviz is running on a different server to the Network Manager backend processes and there is a firewall between the two. This transfer makes the Web tools available across such distributed environments.You do not need to interact directly with ncp_webtool process, because it is a sever-time application that runs without user input.
It is best practice to configure the ncp_ctrl process, the master process controller, to launch and manage the ncp_webtool process. You can configure the behavior of the process by using the command line options.
