If you want to consolidate the topology and event information to a single point of reference, use Service Assurance Manager. Service Assurance distinguishes between topology elements with the same IP address, providing separate notifications and a distinct topological representation for each element.
Because of the IP tag filter that was created in “Creating an IP tag filter” on page 173, the Global Manager is able to distinguish between topology objects that have the same IP address, and therefore is able to provide separate notifications and a distinct topological representation for each object.
