Types of maps
The types of maps that are available depend on your license(s) and user profile. The
Group maps need to be configured by your administrator and might not be available for your
session.
Network topology maps
The network topology maps and related classes are available for the IP Availability
Manager or IP Performance Manager.
Network topology maps contain elements
such as IP networks, VLANs, routers, switches, and hosts, and various types of
connections such as cables and trunk cables. The maps typically depict connectivity
between elements or device membership.
Types of network topology maps are:
- Physical Connectivity Map
- IP Network Connectivity Map
- IP Network Membership Map
- VLAN Connectivity Map
- VLAN Membership Map
Business Services maps
The Business Services map and related
classes are available for the Business Impact Manager (BIM).
Business Services maps display service
subscribers (organizations, business units, lines of business (LOBs), departments,
and customers), business processes, service offerings (for example, order capture,
Router Services, Domain Name Service), software services (for example, InCharge
services), redundancy groups, and related elements. The Business Services maps are
available for infrastructure elements in the Topology tab and groups in the Groups
tab.
Applications map
The Applications map and related classes
are available for the Application Insight Domain Manager and Application
Connectivity Monitor Domain Manager.
An Applications map displays the
topological elements related to the delivery of application services. Such elements
might include the systems that host software services, redundancy groups, and
checks.
Network Protocol Manager
Connectivity maps
Network Protocol Manager (NPM) maps
depict BGP and OSPF topologies and connectivity between topological elements.
Types of NPM maps are:
- An OSPF topology map contains elements such as OSPF areas, services, networks, neighbor relationships, and virtual links and relationships, and connections.
- A BGP topology map contains elements such as autonomous systems, BGP services, and BGP sessions; and relationships and connections.
- An EIGRP topology map contains EIGRP elements along with their relationships and connections.
- An IS-IS topology map shows the status of the IS-IS and transport network elements and their many relationships.
Multiprotocol Label Switching
maps
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) maps
depict MPLS topology. The maps might contain router, LSP, LSP hop, VPN, VRF,
Forwarder, and PseudoWire elements, along with their relationships and
connections.
Types of MPLS maps are:
- LSP map
- LSP Hops map
- VPN map
- PseudoWire map
