Ridgeline Overview

Ridgeline Concepts and Solutions Guide

16

●

Manage large numbers of devices.

 Ridgeline server can manage up to 2000 devices with a single 

installation of the Ridgeline software. For even larger networks, you can split the management task 
among several Ridgeline servers in a distributed server mode that lets you monitor the status of 
those servers from a single client. 

●

VPLS discovery and visualization.

 Ridgeline can discover the Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) 

configuration on the managed devices in your network, and display an overlay view of selected 
VPLS instances, including information about specific pseudo wires. Ridgeline scripts can create 
VPLS instances and configure devices as VPLS peers.

●

PBB discovery, visualization, and provisioning.

 Ridgeline identifies the Service VLANs (SVLANs), 

Backbone VLANs (BVLANs), Customer VLANs (CVLANs), and Extended Service ID (ISID) 
instances in your Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB) networks. You can display an overlay view of a 
selected PBB network, along with detailed information about PBB components in Ridgeline tables. 
Ridgeline’s PBB provisioning feature allows you to create BVLANs on selected devices, ports, or 
links, as well as modify and delete existing BVLANs.

●

Ethernet service provisioning.

 Using the service provisioning wizard, you can create E-Line (point-

to-point) and E-LAN (multipoint-to-multipoint) services. You can select the devices and ports that 
make up the service, specify the transport method (VLAN, VMAN, or PBB), create and apply 
bandwidth profiles, then validate the configuration and deploy it on your network.

The Ridgeline features are described in more detail in the following sections. The rest of this manual 
describes how to best use these features to manage various aspects of your network. For detailed 
instructions on using specific features of Ridgeline see the context-sensitive online Help available from 
the Help menu at the top of Ridgeline windows. The 

Ridgeline Reference Guide

 also provides a detailed 

description of the functionality of each Ridgeline feature. 

Inventory Management

Ridgeline keeps a database of all devices managed by the software. Any Ridgeline user with read-only 
access to this feature can view status information about the switches currently known to Ridgeline. 

Ridgeline provides a discovery function to discover the components of your network. Users with the 
appropriate access (roles with read/write access) can use this feature to discover Extreme devices as 
well as any third-party devices running a MIB-2 compatible SNMP agent. Devices may be discovered 
by specific IP address or within a range of IP addresses. Third-party devices that support SNMP version 
3 (SNMPv3) are discovered as SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) and are added to the Ridgeline database as 
SNMPv1 devices. Network devices can also be added to the Ridgeline database manually. 

Once a network device is known to the Ridgeline database, you can copy it to a specific device group, 
and configure it using a Device Manager (ExtremeWare Vista for Extreme devices). Ridgeline also 
allows you to set a device to unmanaged status so that Ridgeline will not poll and can ignore traps 
when a device is scheduled for maintenance.

Ridgeline also provides a command-line utility that lets you create device groups and import large 
numbers of devices into the database through scripts, to streamline the process of adding and 
organizing devices for management purposes. These utilities are described in 

Appendix E

 

“Ridgeline 

Utilities”

. 

Ridgeline displays detailed information about individual devices through a front panel image that 
provides a visual device representation, with associated detailed configuration and status information. 
Any Ridgeline user can view status information about the network devices known to Ridgeline. Users 
with the appropriate access permissions can also view and modify configuration information for those 
switches.
