Relationships
Relationships enable to
associate the discovered logical routing topology objects with each
other, and with the underlying physical network topology objects discovered
by
IP Availability Manager
. Because the relationships establish dependencies between the routing
topology objects and the network objects, is
able to correlate underlying network failures with routing-protocol
service impairments.BGP,
EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF relationships describes some of the relationships
that can appear in the
VMware Smart Assurance
class representation of BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF
topology. Relationship

The examples given
in BGP,
EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF relationships are just a few of the many
relationships that can appear in the
VMware Smart Assurance
class representation
of routing-protocol topology. Generally, as demonstrated in the examples,
for every relationship, there is an inverse relationship; for example,
PartOf is the reverse relationship of ComposedOf.The provides detailed descriptions of
VMware Smart Assurance
classes and
