About
Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP
The flow of data across IP networks
depends upon both the physical connectivity among the network devices
and the routing protocols that run on those devices. The routing protocols
dictate the paths across which packets flow within and between the
independent networks, or autonomous systems.
diagnoses connectivity failures for a Cisco
proprietary interior gateway protocol known as Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol.
, working with Smarts IP Availability Manager,
discovers and monitors Cisco devices that are running EIGRP services, diagnoses
EIGRP-related failures, and exports the results of its analysis to the Smarts Service
Assurance Manager (
Global Manager
).The challenge of managing routing-protocol connectivity
is that of determining which routing-protocol alarms are root-cause
problems and which are symptoms of root-cause problems.
meets this challenge by:
- Correlating and analyzing the alarms generated as a result of a physical-transport or EIGRP object failure.
- Pinpointing the object failure.
- Identifying all monitored objects affected by the failure.This functionality allows users to address the problem of the failed object promptly and to dismiss all other alarms as symptoms of the problem.supports discovery and monitoring of EIGRP objects only for IPv4 network.
