Notifications

Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP exports the results of its root-cause and impact analysis to the Global Manager, where the results are displayed in the form of notifications in the Notification Log Console view of the Global Console. The notifications identify Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP by its domain name in the Source attribute. Users can double-click a notification to view detailed information about the notification.

Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP creates two types of notifications:

• Root-cause problem notifications

  Indicate points of failure diagnosed by Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP. Each root-cause problem notification indicates a separate failure.

• Event notification

  Indicate an abnormal condition detected by Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP. Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP computes these events from status updates and uses them as symptoms to determine root-cause problems.

  Chapter 2, Viewing EIGRP Analysis Results and Topology, provides information about viewing the notifications. Chapter 3, EIGRP Objects and their Failures, and Chapter 4, EIGRP Cross-Domain Impact Correlation Analysis, provide information about the notifications that are created by Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP.
