IP Address Capabilities Provided by NNMi

The IP Address Form: Capabilities Tab displays a table of any capabilities added to a particular IP Address object. Capabilities enable NNMi and application programmers to provide more information about an IP address than what is initially stored in the NNMi database.

External applications can also add capabilities.

KEY: com.hp.<product>.capability.<content>.<vendor/org>.<MIB/feature>

Any Capability provided by NNMi begins with the prefix com.hp.nnm.capability.

<product> = Either NNMi or the NNM iSPI providing this capability.

<content> = chassis, card, ipaddr (address), iface (interface), lag (Link AggregationProtocols used on Switches to configure multiple Interfaces (Aggregation Member Interfaces) to function as if they were one (an Aggregator Interface). When two Aggregator Interfaces establish a connection, that connection is an Aggregator Layer 2 Connection. The Aggregator Layer 2 Connection appears on Layer 2 Neighbor View maps as a thick line with an Interface icon at each end (representing the Aggregator Interface). or Split Link AggregationLink Aggregation with more than two endpoints. Some vendors refer to this as Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation, SLAG, MLAG, or MC-LAG. interface), node, rrp (Router Redundancy), or metric (Node Sensor or Physical Sensor).

<vendor/org> = Standards organization or vendor defining the MIB or feature associated with the capability.

<MIB/feature> = What this capability measures.

Note The following table shows a few examples of the Capabilities provided by NNMi.

IP Address Capability Attribute Values
Unique Key Capability Description
com.hp.nnm.capability.address.loopback LOOPBACK Used to identify a loopback addressThe address associated with the loopback interface. The loopback interface is a virtual interface on a device that provides a route for internal communication. Many vendors provide a specially configured loopback for management purposes. Exact details of how loopbacks are configured varies by vendor and model. See each device's documentation for details. NNMi identifies these loopback addresses by using ifType Number 24, softwareloopback from the IANA ifType-MIB..
com.hp.nnm.capability.address.anycast ANYCAST

Used to identify an address that is either of the following:

com.hp.nnm.capability.address.nat NAT (network address translation) Used to map one address space into another (network masquerading to protect private networks).
