Architecture

Topology-split architecture shows the
architecture for a deployment that has <n> domains named AM001, . . ., and AM00<n>.
Topology-split architecture
The
splits the topology into <n> domains, which reduces the scope of topology that is managed by each
IP Availability Manager
while minimizing the overlap of the discovered devices within the domains and ensuring that no coverage gaps exist across the domains.
Through the
optional
, the
receives the topology information that is needed by the
IP Availability Manager
s to model networks that are populated with Alcatel-Lucent devices. The
describes the
in detail and presents configuration procedures for the Adapter.
After the topology split, the
IP Availability Manager
s discover, monitor, and analyze the devices and network connectivity in their respective domains, and send topology and event information to the
Global Manager
. The
Global Manager
integrates the topology and event information to acquire the complete topology of the managed IP network domain and to diagnose problems and impacts for the managed IP network domain.
The
is the central point for topology management. All topology changes are made through the
rather than through the
IP Availability Manager
s that manage the domains
.
