Synchronizing with
IP Availability Manager

After an
IP Availability Manager
is added as a topology source,
starts a synchronization program that probes the
IP Availability Manager
repository for device topology and CLI device-access objects. Thereafter, the synchronization program probes for topology and CLI device-access objects whenever:
  • The
    IP Availability Manager
    completes a discovery cycle.
  • The connection to
    IP Availability Manager
    is lost and then reestablished.
    Each time that
    imports device topology from an
    IP Availability Manager
    , it performs the following actions:
    1. Imports the entire device topology and all the CLI device-access objects.
    2. Sends SNMP requests and CLI commands to the devices to discover or rediscover routing topology objects.
    3. Adds those objects to the routing topology in its repository.
