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
.
