Multi-vendor
topology support
The Adapter discovers
Alcatel-Lucent devices and creates a topology of the network managed
by the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS.
The Adapter discovers the
Alcatel-Lucent topology through the Alcatel-Lucent
5620 SAM EMS and populates this topology in the Managers such as the
IP Availability Manager, MPLS Manager, and the NPM Managers. In addition,
the Domain Managers discover the non-Alcatel-Lucent entities in the
network.
The Managers individually handle
post-processing to stitch together the physical and logical topologies
from both the EMS and other sources in a heterogeneous network.

Post-processing creates objects such as a NetworkConnection between
an Alcatel-Lucent element and a non-Alcatel-Lucent element.
