The Adapter supports optional full and incremental discovery of the Intermediate System-Intermediate System (IS-IS) network, importing IS-IS topology information from the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS server into the VMware Smart Assurance Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS.
The Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS diagnoses connectivity failures for the IS-IS protocol. The Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS, working with the IP Availability Manager and the imported information for Alcatel-Lucent devices from the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS server, discovers and monitors network devices running IS-IS services, diagnoses IS-IS-related failures, and reports the results of its analysis to the Global Manager. The Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS also detects common configuration problems that occur when deploying and maintaining the routing infrastructure.
