NNM iSPI for IP Multicast in Global Network Management Environment

The NNM iSPI for IP Multicast uses the capabilities of NNMi Global Network Management (NNMi GNM) and provides a centralized view to monitor the multiple sites. The NNM iSPI for IP Multicast allows you to configure the Regional Manager connections by using the IP Multicast Configuration workspace. After the connection is established, you can view and monitor the IP Multicast nodes, interfaces, and flows from the NNM iSPI for IP Multicast Global Manager (GM) inventory.

The NNM iSPI for IP Multicast Regional Manager discovers, monitors, and sends the topology update to the NNM iSPI for IP Multicast (GM). The NNM iSPI for IP Multicast inventory (GM) gets updated as per the polling interval set for the multicast objects in the Regional Manager inventory.

Use the NNM iSPI for IP Multicast (GM) for the following tasks:

  • Monitor all multicast-enabled routers in the network spread over multiple sites or locations.
  • See the problems in the entire network. Check the status of all multicast nodes, interfaces, and neighbors.
  • Get consolidated and complete map views of the entire network.
  • Access consolidated multicast reports for multiple regions.

To verify that the Regional Manager connection is working, see NNMi Help, Determine the State of the Connection to a Regional Manager.
