SDPBind Form

The SDPBind form provides details of the service binded to the SDP. This topic includes the following sections:

Basic Attributes
Attribute Description
Destination IP Address

The destination IP address for the selected SDP.

Status Displays the status of the selected SDPBind.
Management Mode

The NNM iSPI for MPLS supports management of SDPBinds. Possible values are:

  • Managed – The selected SDPBind is managed.
  • Not Managed – The selected SDPBind is not managed.
To modify the Management Mode, select "Managed" or "Not Managed" respectively from the Management Mode list of the SDPBind form.
  • Out of Service – A node is unavailable because it is out of service. NNMi does not update discovery information or monitor these nodes. This attribute is useful for notifying NNMi when a device is temporarily out of service.
Out of Service is an NNMi supported mode. The NNM iSPI for MPLS does not allow users to store 'Out of Service' value from the Management Mode list

For more information, see the Help for NNMi; View the Management Mode for an Object in Your Network.

Management Type

Inheritance type for the selected SDPBind. An MPLS object inherits management mode of its container object. Management Type displays the type of container object from which the selected SDPBind has inherited the Management Mode. Possible values are:

  • Node Inherited - The selected SDPBind inherits management mode from a node.
  • Self - The selected SDPBind is Not Managed but it belongs to a Managed node, participating in a Managed VPLS.

You cannot change Management Type of an Not Managed SDPBind to Self if it is VPLS Inherited.

  • Regional Inherited- One of the SDPBind belonging to a VPLS at Regional level is Not Managed. In addition, these SDPBinds are not affected by management changes made at the Global level. 
'Regional Inherited' type is only applicable for a Global Manager. This is because a SDPBind Not Managed in a regional manager has a direct effect on the Global Manager. However, any VPLS managed/not managed at Global level will not affect a SDPBind that is 'Regional Inherited' .
Bind Type Name of the Bind type for the selected SDPBind.
Service ID The Service Id number for the selected SDPBind.
Create Time Date and time on which the selected SDPBind was created.
Status Last Modified The status of the SDPBind is calculated whenever there is a change in topology. The status Last Modified shows date and time on which the status was last set.
SDP The selected SDPBind belong to the specified SDP. Access the SDP form from the Lookup icon ().
VFI The selected SDPBind belong to the specified VFI. Access the VFI form from the Lookup icon ().
VRF The selected SDPBind belong to the specified VRF. Access the VRF form from the Lookup icon ().
VC LSP The selected SDPBind belong to the specified VC LSP. Access the VC LSP form from the Lookup icon ().

Analysis Pane:

For the SDPBind form, an Analysis Pane with SDPBind Summary, SDPBind Service data tab and SDP tab are displayed.

SDPBind Summary:

The SDPBind Summary provides the following information:

  • Bind Type
  • Service Id
  • Status
  • Source
  • Description

SDPBind Service data:

The SDPBind Sample data provides the following information:

  • Service Type
  • VRF Status
  • VRF Name
  • VPN Name

OR

  • Service Type
  • VPLS Name
  • VPLS Status
  • L2VPN Name

SDPtab

The SDP tab provides the following information:

  • Delivery Type
  • Description
  • Destination Node
  • SDP ID
  • Source Node
  • Status

Status Tab

The SDPBind form provides details of the service binded to the SDP. You can use the Status tab to view the status summary of the selected SDPBind.

Overall Status Table
Attribute Description
Status

Overall status for the current SDPBind. Possible values are:

No Status - The status of a SDPBind is 'No Status' when:

  • The SDPBind is newly created and not polled.
  • When a SDPBind is not mapped to any interface and hence, not polled.

Normal - The status of the SDPBind is Up.

Unknown - The SDPBind is not reachable or not responding.

Critical - The status of the SDPBind is Down.

Last Modified Date and time on which the status was last set.

Status History

Attribute Description
Status

List of last thirty status updates for the selected SDPBind. For more information, see NNMi Status tab.

Time Stamp Time when the selected SDPBind was last modified.

Analysis Pane

Analysis Pane is not implemented for the Status tab.

Conclusions Tab

The SDPBind form provides details of the service binded to the SDP. The Conclusions tab shows the results of the overall derived status. You can view a quick summary of the status and problem description for the selected SDPBind.

Conclusions Table
Attribute Description
Status

The status of the selected SDPBind is dependent on the status of the interface on the selected SDPBind. For more information, see SDPBind Form: Status Tab.

Time Stamp The Time Stamp data is the time when the status of the SDPBind is last set.
Conclusions

The conclusion is set by the Causal Engine after the status calculation. Possible conclusions are:

  • MplsSdpBindNoStatus
  • MplsSdpBindDown
  • MplsSdpBindUp
  • MPLSSdpBindUnkown

Example: The conclusion MplsSdpBindDown sends an MplsSdpBindDown incident

Analysis Pane:

Analysis Pane is not implemented for the Conclusions tab.

Incidents Tab

The SDPBind form provides details of the service binded to the SDP. The Incidents tab is useful for obtaining a quick summary of the incident and problem description for the SDPBind.

Incidents table:

Attribute Description
Incidents Attributes

The attributes listed in the incidents tab are same as available in NNMi Incidents form. Click (the Open icon) to view the details of the incident. The left pane shows the basic information such as Severity, Priority, Message, and so on. The right pane shows details of the incident such as name, family and so on.

For more information, see the Help for NNMi Incidents Form.

Analysis Pane:

Information shown in the Analysis Pane of Incidents tab is inherited from the Network Node Manager i-Software (NNMi). For more information, see About the Analysis Pane in NNMi Online Help.

Registration Tab

The SDPBind form provides details of the service binded to the SDP. Registration tab shows details about when a selected SDPBind was created and when the status was last modified.

Registration Table
Attribute Description
Create Time

Date and time on which the selected SDPBind was created.

Status Last Modified Status Last Modified shows the date and time on which the status of the selected SDPBind was last modified.

Analysis Pane

Analysis Pane is not implemented for the Registration tab.
