The Adapter supports full and incremental discovery of the IP network, importing Layer 2 and Layer 3 topology information from the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS server into the IP Availability Manager.
Note:
In IP Manager, the Network-Resource Manager receives the topology information from the Adapter.
The Adapter also supports performance status information from the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS server on physical components such as router fans, memory, processors, and so on.
In addition, the IP Availability Manager may be configured to perform independent discovery of non-Alcatel-Lucent networks, providing that topology to the Domain Managers, which will create a cross-vendor topology.
