Network Protocol Manager uses instances of certain VMware Smart Assurance object classes to create within its repository a data model representation of the discovered routing topology. The data model represents the managed devices, the routing topology objects, and the relationships between them.
The data model for the discovered BGP topology is shown in Simplified view of BGP data model and Simplified view of BGP session group modeling in the BGP data model. Network Protocol Manager for BGP uses this model to build a representation of the discovered BGP objects in its domain.
The data model for the discovered EIGRP topology is shown in Simplified view of EIGRP data model. Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP uses this model to build a representation of the discovered EIGRP objects in its domain.
The data model for the discovered IS-IS topology is shown in Simplified view of IS-IS data model. Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS uses this model to build a representation of the discovered IS-IS objects in its domain.
The data model for the discovered OSPF topology is shown in Simplified view of OSPF data model. Network Protocol Manager for OSPF uses this model to build a representation of the discovered OSPF objects in its domain.
Not all relationships are shown in Simplified view of BGP data model through Simplified view of OSPF data model.
The VMware Smart Assurance Common Information Model (ICIM) 1.11 Reference for Non-Service Assurance Manager Products provides descriptions of VMware Smart Assurance classes and relationships.
