Deploy NNM iSPI Performance in Global Network Management Environment

NNM iSPI Performance for Traffic offers full support for deployment in a Global Network Management environment. Each instance has the following components:

• NNMi
• NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics and Network Performance Server
• The NNM iSPI Performance for Traffic Master Collector
• The NNM iSPI Performance for Traffic Leaf Collectors

The NNMi in the Global Manager receives data from the Regional Managers. The Master Collector in the Global Manager can be configured to receive data from the Regional Master Collectors in the following ways:

• The Master Collector in the Global Manager can receive data from the Master Collector in the Regional Manager. In this case, you must add the regional Master Collector as a remote Master source in the global Master Collector. This ensures that the complete set of data received by the regional Master Collector is forwarded to the global Master Collector. In the above scenario the global Master Collector receives data processed by both Leaf Collector 1 and Leaf Collector 2.
• The Master Collector in the Global Manager can receive data directly from a regional Leaf Collector system, bypassing the regional Master Collector. In this case the regional Leaf Collector (Leaf Collector 3 in the above scenario) can be added as a leaf remote source to the global Master Collector. This will ensure that the data received by all the Leaf Collectors on the remote Leaf Collector system is sent to the regional Master Collector as well as the global Master Collector.

The regional Master Collector or the regional Leaf Collector) can only be configured to send data to the global Master Collector. The global Master Collector cannot administer and manage these components.

Add all the regional Master Collectors as remote Master sources to the global Master Collector.
