Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Actions Available in the NNM iSPI for IP Multicast
With the NNM iSPI for IP Multicast, you can view the complete connectivity of the Multicast network that you want to monitor. The NNM iSPI for IP Multicast presents the following views—Forwarding Tree, Reverse Path, Neighbor view, and Snapshots. These views help you to construct the multicast flow path in upstream or downstream direction, view the PIM neighbor topology, and see the snapshots of the monitored flows. You can also perform a few actions that assist you in monitoring the multicast flows effectively. You can also decide to manage or not to manage the nodes and flows as per your requirements.
You can perform some of these actions like Manage, Not Managed, Enable Monitoring, and Disable Monitoring on multiple objects. You can select up to 20 objects and perform these actions.
The views and actions that are available to you can vary depending upon the role assigned to you.With the NNM iSPI for IP Multicast, you can perform tasks using the following actions:
Action | Description | Required Role |
---|---|---|
Discover Groups | Starts a real-time check to poll the multicast groups. For more information, see Discover Groups. | Administrator or Operator Level 2 |
Neighbor View | Shows the PIM neighbor view from the selected node. For more information, see Neighbor view. | Administrator, Operator Level 2, or Operator Level 1 |
Manage | Starts managing the selected nodes in the NNM iSPI for IP Multicast when you perform this action from IP Multicast Nodes view. For more information, see Managing and Stop Managing Nodes. | Administrator or Operator Level 2 |
