Integrate with RAMS

The NNMi– HPE Route Analytics Management System (RAMS) integration provides features for accessing RAMS traps, MPLS WAN, and enhanced Path View information from the NNMi console.

The NNMi–RAMS integration adds the feature to view the connectivity through different network clouds and enhanced Path Views, so that NNMi users can detect and view the multiple sites.

Use the NNMi– RAMS Integration

The steps to enable the NNMi–RAMS integration take place on the NNMi management server.

For information about enabling, using, disabling, and troubleshooting the NNMi–RAMSintegration, see Using Route Analytics Management Systems (RAMS) with NNMi Advanced in the NNMi help.

NNMi- RAMS Traps Integration

NNMi-RAMS traps integration can be divided into Custom Correlation Configuration and Forwarding Traps.

For information about Custom Correlation Configuration, see Configure Custom Correlations in the NNMi help.

For information about Forwarding Traps, see Alerts in the RAMS User Guide.

NNMi- RAMS Path View

After you configure the NNMi- RAMS integration, NNMi calculates the Path View using RAMS data.

RAMS data enhances the ability to trace the route path between the source and destination node in the following ways:

NNMi- RAMS integration does not use SNMP to calculate the router path. This means that NNMi does not need to wait for SNMP responses and can calculate the Path View more quickly.

NNMi- RAMS integration Path View provides extended path visualization such as equal cost multi-path visualization.

See RAMS MPLS WAN Configuration (NNMi Advanced) in the NNMi help for information about configuring RAMS.

See Enhanced Path View and Using Route Analytics Management Systems (RAMS) with NNMi Advanced in the NNMi help for more information about Path View.

NNMi- RAMS MPLS WAN

After you configure the NNMi- RAMS integration, NNMi provides the following additional information:

The MPLS WAN Clouds (RAMS) table view is added to the Inventory workspace. Information displayed in the MPLS WAN Clouds (RAMS) view includes the name and Autonomous System Number assigned to the MPLS Cloud as well as the number of Customer Edge (CE) routers associated with the MPLS WAN Cloud.

This information is also provided on each MPLS WAN Cloud (RAMS) form.

See MPLS WAN Connections - RAMS (Inventory) (NNMi Advanced) and MPLS WAN Cloud Form (NNMi Advanced) in the NNMi help for more information.

A new NNMi map, the MPLS WAN Cloud Map view, is available from the Actions menu for participating objects. The MPLS WAN Cloud Map view displays a graphical representation the Layer 3 connectivity in your network, as well as any Customer Edge and Provider Edge devices. See MPLS WAN Cloud Map in the NNMi help for more information.

See RAMS MPLS WAN Configuration (NNMi Advanced) in the NNMi help for information about configuring RAMS.

For more information on MPLS WAN, see the Route Analytics Management Software (RAMS) for MPLS WAN User’s Guide, which is available at: https://softwaresupport.hpe.com/
