In an Alcatel-Lucent environment, the Adapter imports topology from the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS and then directly populates any associated Domain Managers with this topology.
Configure your deployment based on the following considerations:
-
Scenario 1: Deployment with IP in an all Alcatel-Lucent environment on page 52. The network includes all Alcatel-Lucent devices; the deployment does not include the IP Availability Manager version 8.1 or the Topology Split Manager.
-
Scenario 2: Deployment with mixed vendor environment and IP Manager on page 54. The deployment includes both Alcatel-Lucent and non-Alcatel-Lucent devices (a mixed-vendor environment) where IP 7.x gets topology from both ASAM and from non-ASAM devices.
Note:There is no support for the Multicast Manager in mixed-vendor environments.
-
Scenario 4: Deployment with the Topology Split Manager (TSM) on page 57
In addition, if your deployment includes either the Network Protocol Manager or the Multicast Manager, follow these instructions:
-
Additional configuration for NPM Managers
-
Additional configuration for the Multicast Manager
If your new Adapter for Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS installation is in conjunction with upgrades from previous versions of the IP Availability Manager, NPM Manager for BGP, OSPF, or IS-IS, Multicast Manager, or MPLS Manager, you must remove the existing repository in each Domain Manager, and configure the Domain Manager to replace the existing repository with one populated by the Adapter. “Replacing existing Domain Manager repositories” on page 62 provides instructions.
