Configure Route Analytics Management System (NNMi Advanced)

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the RAMS form.]

(NNMi Advanced, plus Route Analytics Management System (RAMS) for MPLS WAN) Route Analytics Management System (RAMS) is an IP Route Analytics tool that monitors routing protocols and builds a real-time routing topology map. RAMS data enhances the information available in NNMi Path View maps. See Use Route Analytics Management System (RAMS) with NNMi Advancedfor more information.

You can also use RAMS with the  RAMS MPLS WAN feature, which enables you to gather network connectivity data between multiple sites connected by a WAN through Internet Service Providers (ISPs). See Use Route Analytics Management System (RAMS) with NNMi Advancedfor more information.

(NNMi Advanced) Path View works only with IPv4 addresses. The NNMi Advanced IPv6 address values are not valid choices for Path View. Any devices in your network that are configured with IPv6 addresses cannot be displayed on Path View maps.

To enable NNMi to use RAMS data, you must use the RAMS form to configure each RAMS server you want to use. The RAMS form provides details about the RAMS appliance and the associated RAMS database to be used with NNMi.

To configure a RAMS server:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • To establish a RAMS Server configuration, click the New icon and continue.
    • To edit a RAMS Server configuration, select a row, click the Open icon, and continue.
    • To delete a RAMS server configuration, select a row and click the Delete icon.
  2. Provide the required information (see Basic Attributes table).
  3. Click  Save and Close to save your changes and return to the list of configured RAMS.
Basic Attributes

Description

Host

Hostname (not case-sensitive) or IP address used to identify the RAMS appliance that you want NNMi to access.

Query Password Query password configured for the RAMS appliance.

Database Name

Name of the database that NNMi should access. This database must reside on the RAMS appliance that you have identified in the Name attribute.

Priority Used when you configure more than one RAMS appliance. Determines the order in which NNMi attempts to access the configured RAMS appliances. The lower the number, the higher the priority. For example, the number 1 is the highest priority.
