Monitoring
Upon importing Cisco device topology from
IP Availability Manager
, performs its own discovery on the devices to gather
EIGRP topology information. It models this information as logical
EIGRP topology objects in its repository, and maps the EIGRP topology
to the underlying physical-transport topology discovered by IP Availability Manager
. monitors the availability of the EIGRP objects in its
repository by:
- Subscribing to certain device, card, interface, and network-connection status updates fromIP Availability Manager.
- Monitoring the status of the EIGRP objects through command line interface (CLI) polling.Using CLI polling, periodically accesses the EIGRP-enabled Cisco devices through Telnet, SSH1, or SSH2 and executes CLI commands to collect the status information needed to determine the availability of the EIGRP objects.CLI polling is controlled through a Polling and Thresholds Console attached to .Smarts Network Protocol Manager Configuration Guideprovides information about customizing CLI polling.
