Trial learning mode report files

For each successful trial topology split, the Topology Split Manager creates a <TSM name>.trial.<num> directory and populates the directory with the report.csv and summary.csv files. It also adds a line of summary data for the topology split to the <TSM name>.trials.csv file, which is created after the first successful topology split.

The report files contain criteria such as (1) the number of devices that are owned by a domain and (2) the number of devices that are proxied by a domain. For a device that is owned by a domain, the domain has the primary responsibility for managing the device. For a device that is proxied by a domain, the domain has a partial responsibility for managing the device. Partial management means that the domain is responsible for managing only those components of the proxy device that are involved in the “across the domain” connections from the proxy device to devices that are owned by the domain.

The report.csv file contains one row for each device, for each domain in which the device appears. The file has the following columns of information:

• Name of the domain

• Class of the device (Switch, Router, and so on)

• Name of the device

• Whether the device is owned by the domain, or proxied

• Number of ports

• Number of interfaces

• SNMP address

• SNMP System OID

• Description
