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.

Monitor Your Network by using the NNM iSPI for MPLS Global Network Manager

The NNM iSPI for MPLS uses the capabilities of NNMi Global Network Manager (GNM) and provides a centralized view to monitor multiple sites. You can configure the Regional Manager connections by using the MPLS Configuration workspace. After the connection is established, view and monitor the MPLS-enabled nodes, interfaces, MPLS objects from the NNM iSPI for MPLS inventory.

Use the NNM iSPI for MPLS view GNM for the following tasks:

Monitor the MPLS-enabled routers on the network.
View the MPLS objects such as VRFs, TE Tunnels, and VC LSP on the network and resolve problems, if any. Check the status of the MPLS objects.
Access the MPLS forms to check the other attributes of the MPLS object.
Access the map views of the network.
Access the available MPLS reports.

The NNM iSPI for MPLS Regional Manager monitors and sends the topology update and status information of the MPLS objects such as VRFs, TE Tunnels, and VC LSPs on the network to the NNM iSPI for MPLS GNM.

About the NNM iSPI for MPLS GNM and Regional Manager.

The Regional Manager sends the updated information according to the polling interval set for the MPLS objects at the regional level. The NNM iSPI for MPLS GNM uses the consolidated information of the VRFs and VC LSPs to discover, regroup, and compute the status of the L3 VPNs, PseudoWire VCs, L2 VPNs, and LSPs on the network.

Use the NNM iSPI for MPLS inventory GNM for the following tasks:

Monitor the L3 VPN topology. Uses the VRFs information from the Regional managers to regroup and form the L3 VPNs. Calculates and derives the status of the available L3 VPNs on the network.
Monitor the consolidated PE-CE link connectivity in the L3 VPN topology. Make sure that both the PE and CE nodes and interfaces are discovered in the same Regional Manager. If the PE node is discovered in one Regional Manager and CE node in another Regional Manager, the consolidated PE-CE connection does not appear in the MPLS inventory GNM.
Monitor the L2 VPN topology. Uses the VC LSPs information from the Regional managers to regroup and form the L2 VPNs. Calculates and derives the status of the available L2 VPNs on the network.
Monitor the MVPN topology. Uses the MVRFs information to regroup and form the MVPNs. Calculates and derives the status of the available MVPNs on the network.
Monitor the Pseudowire VCs on the network. Uses the VC LSPs information from the Regional managers to regroup and form the L2 VPNs. Calculates and derives the status of the available L2 VPNs on the network.
Monitor LSPs on the network. LSP can be stitched at Global as it goes across more than one regional
Monitor and generate the MPLS reports from the MPLS inventory (GNM). The MPLS LSR Node and Interface report is only available for the MPLS-enabled nodes that are seeded locally in the NNM iSPI for MPLS (GNM). The L3 VPN_VRF report is available for the local nodes of the Regional Manager that appears in the NNM iSPI for MPLS inventory (GNM) and also for the nodes seeded locally in the NNM iSPI for MPLS (GNM).

The NNM iSPI for MPLS inventory (GNM) gets updated according to the polling interval set for the MPLS objects in the Regional Manager inventory. If the polling interval for the MPLS nodes in the Regional Manager is 10 minutes, the MPLS nodes in the NNM iSPI for MPLS inventory (Global Network Manager) get updated in every 10 minutes.

Use the MPLS Configuration workspace to configure the polling interval, Route Targets, and VPWS VPNs again from the NNM iSPI for MPLS GNM. The configuration settings are limited to a local Regional Manager and do not get transferred to the NNM iSPI for MPLS GNM.
