Device commissioning and network discovery workflow

Purpose

The following workflow outlines the high-level steps necessary to commission devices and discover the network. This workflow assumes that the CLI has been used to verify that each CPAA to be discovered and managed using SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 has a unique engine ID, and to configure the SNMP security parameters on those CPAAs. Mediation must also be configured.

Stages
 
1 

Perform one of the following:

  1. To discover CPAAs:

    1. Create discovery rules.

    2. Discover CPAAs by scanning the network according to discovery rules.

    3. Set each discovered CPAA to a managed state.

    4. Reconcile device elements into the NFM-P database.

    5. Check the discovery, management, and reconciliation status of the CPAAs.

  2. To manage device discovery:

    1. Modify the discovery rules.

    2. Add or modify rule elements.

    3. Enable or disable the discovery rules.

    4. Delete the discovery rules.

    5. Scan the network according to a discovery rule.

    6. Manage or unmanage the CPAAs.

    7. Reconcile device elements into the NFM-P database.

  3. To configure managed routers:

    1. Configure IP interfaces to designated routing domains.

    2. Configure OSPF interfaces.

    3. Configure ISIS interfaces.

See To discover CPAAs for more information.

2 

Create OSPF and ISIS instances on the CPAA. See To configure OSPF and ISIS on a CPAA for more information.

3 

Create an IGP administrative domain. See To configure an IGP administrative domain for more information.

4 

To configure route listening and analysis functions:

  1. Configure the IGP role for OSPF or ISIS.

  2. Associate the CPAA to an IGP administrative domain.

  3. Enable CPAM-CPAA event history registration or retrieve IGP data from the CPAA.

    See To configure route listening and analysis on a CPAA for more information.

5 

As required, deploy a CPAA to monitor a BGP AS. See To deploy a CPAA to monitor a BGP AS for more information.

6 

As required, configure CPAM-CPAA event registration. See To configure CPAM-CPAA event registration for more information.

7 

As required, view the update times on a CPAA for IGP and BGP information. See To view CPAA update times information for more information.

8 

As required, delete an IGP administrative domain. See To delete an IGP administrative domain for more information.

9 

Configure redundancy. See Chapter 6, CPAA Redundancy for more information.
