A domain type is a configuration object that captures all the settings relevant to a particular type of domain with which the Service Assurance Manager server connects. One domain type exists for each class of server communicating; for example, AM, NPM, MPLS, and SIA.

Properties of a domain type include:

  • DXA file

  • Hook scripts

  • Minimum certainty

  • Smoothing intervals

    Note:

    The domain type does not instantiate a domain object.

    Default domain types defines the default domain types.
