What is Discovery
Avaya Network Management uses Discovery to detect or ’discover’ your network. The
Discovery tool discovers subnets and nodes, the physical port location of the devices, the
Avaya VoIP hierarchy, phone information and phone locations for IP, analog and digital phones.
The Discovery tool uses SNMP MIB-II on network nodes to search your network. In addition,
you can instruct Discovery to use ICMP Echo (ping) to search the network. You can instruct
Discovery to search your entire network, limit the search to selected subnets, or update
information about the objects in the Network View.
The Discovery window displays the results of your search. You can apply the results of a
Discovery to the current Network Map.
What is Event Handling
Events are unexpected or extraordinary occurrences in your network. Examples of events
include the loss of a port’s connection, the insertion or removal of a module from a device, and
the failure of a fan or power supply. Network Management provides a method of reporting
network events.
Note:
Note:
For the purposes of this document, the terms ‘event’ and ‘trap’ are used
interchangeably.
Network Management communicates with device agents using SNMP. Device agents can send
traps to Avaya Network Management Server reporting on the status of their ports, modules, etc.
The server then passes traps to the relevant managers of the device involved and updates the
Event Manager.
To receive traps using Avaya Network Management, network devices must be configured to
send traps to the Avaya Network Management Server. For information on configuring Avaya
LAN and backbone devices to send traps to Avaya Network Management Server, refer to the
User Guide or Device Manager User Guide for the devices in your network. The Event Manager
maintains a log of all traps received from the devices in the network. These traps can be viewed
in the Event Log Browser.
