The following map types are available for viewing the IS-IS topology:

  • ISIS Connectivity map

    A map type that shows IS-IS areas, IS-IS services, and the IS-IS adjacency connections between the IS-IS services. IS-IS adjacency objects appear as edges (graphical representations of relationships or connections) in this map. IS-IS map availability identifies the IS-IS objects for which the ISIS Connectivity map is available.

  • ISIS Network Connectivity map

    A map type that shows IS-IS networks, IS-IS services, and the IS-IS adjacency connections between the IS-IS services. IS-IS adjacency objects appear as edges in this map. IS-IS map availability identifies the IS-IS objects for which the ISIS Network Connectivity map is available.

  • Physical Connectivity map

    A common map type that has been expanded to include the IS-IS adjacency objects shown in IS-IS map availability. IS-IS adjacency objects appear as edges in this map.

  • Group Membership map

    A common map type that has been expanded to include IS-IS 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 (IS-IS routers) of these groups.
