RAMS and Global Network Management (NNMi Advanced)
Route Analytics Management System (RAMS) integrates with Network Node Manager i Software (NNMi) in a Global Network Management environment to enhance the Layer 3 network management.
An RAMS device gathers the following information:
- Routes used for the data transmission
- Path computation
- Connectivity details of the geographically dispersed customer enterprises through a provider (MPLS WAN cloud)
NNMi integrates this information, resulting in a combined data view.
RAMS and NNMi integration can be setup in a Global Manger environment in one of the following three ways:
NNMi integrates with RAMS standalone
- NNMi Global Network Manager discovers CEs and displays Enhanced Virtual Private Network (EVPN) data
- NNMi receives MPLS WAN cloud information from RAMS standalone
- NNMi receives incidents from RAMS
NNMi integrates with the RAMS Modeling Engine (Distributed environment, with Customer Edges (CEs) discovered at Global Manager level)
- NNMi Global Network Manager discovers CEs and displays EVPN
- NNMi receives MPLS WAN cloud information from the RAMS Modeling Engine
- RAMS Modeling Engine receives information from different Route Recorders. Each Route Recorder discovers one CE to form the MPLS WAN cloud
- NNMi receives incidents from RAMS
NNMi integrates with the RAMS Modeling Engine (Distributed environment, with Customer Edges (CEs) discovered at Regional Manager level)
- NNMi Regional Manager discovers CEs. The complete EVPN displays at the NNMi Global Manager level
- NNMi Global Network Manager receives MPLS WAN cloud information from the RAMS Modeling Engine
- The RAMS Modeling Engine receives information from different Route Recorders. Each Route Recorder discovers one CE to form the MPLS WAN cloud
- NNMi receives incidents from RAMS
