Figure 6 illustrates Ridgeline Service Advisor’s representation of loadsharing of two EAPS domains, showing their active, 
shared, and blocked paths.

With simplified service engineering, Ridgeline Service Advisor provides carriers an efficient way to maximize network efficiency.  

Summary

Extreme Networks Ridgeline Service Advisor service management software enables carriers to monetize their networks by 
providing the shift from reactive circuit monitoring to proactive service management. Ridgeline Service Advisor accelerates 
revenue, enhances subscriber experience, and increases network efficiency. Features include provisioning that significantly 
reduce operator errors during service fulfillments, and service visualization capabilities that simplify service monitoring and 
troubleshooting. Simplified service engineering via network discovery and a powerful visual interface enable carriers to 
maximize the efficiency of the service network.
