IS-IS Containment

An object’s Containment view appears in a dialog box that organizes the information for the object into tab pages and tables.
The intent of the Containment view is to allow users to examine detailed component topology of an individual object. The
Global Console
retrieves the topology information from the
Global Manager
and from the underlying Domain Managers. If an underlying Domain Manager is not attached to the console, the console automatically establishes a connection to the Domain Manager by using the user’s login ID.
In a
deployment, the
Global Console
retrieves the Containment topology information from the
Global Manager
, from
, and from
IP Availability Manager
. As an example, if you want to examine the IS-IS interfaces or neighbor endpoints of a router that is running an IS-IS service, you can do so by opening a Containment dialog box for the router object. The console will retrieve the interface or endpoint topology information from the underlying
application.
