Network Protocol Manager for OSPF

The Adapter supports optional full and incremental discovery of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) network, importing OSPF topology information from the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS server into the VMware Smart Assurance Network Protocol Manager for OSPF.

The Network Protocol Manager for OSPF diagnoses connectivity failures for the OSPF protocol.The Network Protocol Manager for OSPF, 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 OSPF services, diagnoses OSPF-related failures, and reports the results of its analysis to the Global Manager. The Network Protocol Manager for OSPF also detects common configuration problems that occur when deploying and maintaining the routing infrastructure.
