The following map types are available for viewing the BGP topology:
-
BGP Connectivity map
A map type that shows autonomous systems, BGP services, and the BGP session connections between the BGP services. BGP session objects appear as edges (graphical representations of relationships or connections) in this map. BGP map availability identifies the BGP objects for which the BGP Connectivity map is available.
-
Physical Connectivity map
A common map type that has been expanded to include the BGP session objects shown in BGP map availability. BGP session objects appear as edges in this map.
-
Group Membership map
A common map type that has been expanded to include BGP router redundancy groups. The redundancy groups are specified by using user-modifiable discovery hook scripts, as explained in the VMware Smart Assurance Network Protocol Manager Discovery Guide Supplement . The Group Membership map shows the composition (BGP routers) of these groups.
