MPLS topology and topology maps

The
Global Manager
imports instances of the following object types from
:
  • Physical-transport objects
    • Router
    • Switch
    • NetworkConnection
    • Cable
    • TrunkCable
    • IPNetwork
  • MPLS objects
    • MPLSService
    • LSP
    • LSPHop
  • Layer 2 VPN objects
    • VPN
    • VRF
    • Forwarder
    • PseudoWire
    • VLAN
  • Layer 3 VPN objects
    • VPN
    • MulticastVPN
    • MulticastGroup
    • VRF
  • BGP objects (optional)
    • BGPService
    • BGPProtocolEndpoint
    • BGPSession
      The physical-transport objects are imported by the
      Global Manager
      just in case
      IP Availability Manager
      is not available.
      Chapter 3, “MPLS, VPN, and BGP Objects and their Failures,” provides descriptions of the MPLS, VPN, and BGP objects. The
      provides a description of the physical-transport objects.
      The
      Global Manager
      combines this topology with the underlying physical-transport topology that is imported from
      IP Availability Manager
      .
