Edge management
At the end of a topology split
and assuming that the IsTopoSyncEnabled and EnableAutoEdgeManagement
configuration parameters are both TRUE, the
performs the following tasks:
- Identifies which network adapters (ports or interfaces) on a proxy device donothave a connection that is fully monitored by the domain.
- Directs the domain’sIP Availability Managerto unmanage those network adapters during a subsequent pending discovery.Edge management reduces management overhead by unmanaging network adapters that attach to incomplete connections.As an aid to understanding the discussions that follow, Data model representations of network adapters and their connections”Examples is presented to show how network adapters and their connections are represented by the and theIP Availability Manager.Data model representations of network adapters and their connections”Examples
Not all relationships are shown in the figure. For example, neither the HostedBy relationship from an IP object to its host device nor the LayeredOver relationship from an IP object to its MAC is shown.
