About
Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS
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 an interior gateway
protocol known as Intermediate System to Intermediate System. , working with
IP Availability Manager
, discovers and monitors network
devices that are running IS-IS services, diagnoses IS-IS-related failures,
and exports the results of its analysis to the (Global Manager
). also detects common configuration problems that occur
when deploying and maintaining the routing infrastructure.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 IS-IS 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.
