MulticastGroup integration by the
Global Manager

When
is included in the managed MPLS environment, the
Global Manager
receives MulticastVPN and MulticastGroup objects from both
and
. Because
discovers draft-Rosen MVPNs, and
discovers NG MVPNs, each MulticastVPN object will have a distinct name. Because
discovers the multicast groups of the draft-Rosen MVPNs and the NG MVPNs, and
discovers the multicast groups of the NG MVPNs, some MulticastGroup objects will have the same name.
For any two MulticastGroup objects that have the same name, which occurs when
and
discover the same multicast group, the
Global Manager
integrates those two objects into one MulticastGroup object.
Because that MulticastGroup object is discovered and monitored independently by
and
, the
Global Manager
can receive events for that object from both
and
.
detects and generates VPN-misconfiguration events and performance-threshold events for MulticastGroups, and
detects and generates impact events for MulticastGroups.
discovers a full set of attribute information for MulticastGroups, and
discovers just enough attribute information to be able to detect MulticastGroup impact events. To view the full set of attributes for a MulticastGroup, connect a
Global Console
