This extension adds to TeemIp data model a few advanced classes dedicated to the network world.

With TeemIp Network Management Extended:

• Group interfaces together through Aggregate Links,
• Manage high availability, high performance or load balancing clusters,
• Add components like power supplies, management boards… to network devices,
• Use topological object to manage speeds, layer 2 protocols and connectors on your IP Interfaces.

There is no specific limitations with that extension.

There is no specific requirement with that extension. TeemIp Network Management Extended is anyway already embedded in TeemIp standalone starting with TeemIp 2.7.

When installed on an iTop application, make sure that IPAM for iTop is installed as well.

Installation on a TeemIp standalone is done with the application itself, through the setup.

When adding the module on an iTop application, follow the Standard installation process.

No specific configuration is required in TeemIp's configuration file or in IP configs for that extension.

Should you need to group several physical interfaces on your network device to model trunking in the HP world or Ether Channel in the Cisco one, the Aggregate Link class will allow you to do so.

In the Overview menu of the Configuration Management module, find the Network group and the Aggregate Link dashlet within that group. Click on it and select the item you are interested in:

This class allows you to group network devices together to create a high availability, high performance or load balancing cluster.

Click on the “New CI” menu, then select “Cluster Network” in the form below:

And click “Apply” to display the Cluster Network creation form:

When listing the nodes, redundancy parameters can be set so that impact analysis can take availability of all cluster members into consideration.

Network devices may be made of different components: power supplies, management board… That class allow you to register them in TeemIp's CMDB.

In the Overview menu of the Configuration Management module, find the Network Device Component dashlet, click on it and select the item you are interested in:

This class of CIs is brought by iTop CMDB. It models any type of network device: router, switch, hub, load balancer, firewall… TeemIp Network Management Extended enriches it with additional attributes and relations as shown below.

In the Overview menu of the Configuration Management module, find the Network Device dashlet, click on it and select the item you are interested in:

Network Flows will help you to document the key flows that go through your network and to visualize them in a diagram.

In the Network dashboard that is accessible from a submenu of the standard CMDB overview menu, find the Network Flow dashlet, click on it and select the item you are interested in:

Once network flows between CIs are documented, the logical path that connects them all can be visualized through the menu Outgoing Flow… displayed under the Other Actions menu of Network Flow or Functional CI (see above).

TeemIp Network Management Extended alters and enhances the Virtual LAN class properties but leaves the tabs unchanged.

In the Overview menu of the Configuration Management module, find the Network group, click on it and select the item you are interested in the list:

This class allows you to document the different SNMP credentials that are used within your organization.

(*) The mandatory nature of the attribute actually depends on the Security level value. See below.

From the listing view or from any create action of a SNMP Credentials badge, click on the to display the creation form.

According to the selected value for the Security level, the attributes that are relevant for this level become mandatory :

The extension enhances the Brand and Model typological elements and brings four new ones.

A logo attribute is added to the class and is also used as image attribute, which ease the search of a Brand in a list.

A picture attribute is added to the class and is also used as image_attribute.

These four elements are:

The extension groups network specific typological elements in a dedicated dashlet.

These typological elements change the different interfaces as follows:

• Speed attribute (string) is replaced by a foreign key toward a Interface Speed,
• Foreign key toward Layer 2 Protocol is added

• Speed attribute (string) is replaced by a foreign key toward a Interface Speed,
• Foreign key toward Layer 2 Protocol is added

• Speed attribute (string) is replaced by a foreign key toward a Interface Speed,
• Foreign key toward Layer 2 Protocol is added
• Foreign key toward Connector is added

Note that the extension adds as well a foreign key toward an Aggregate Link.

Next to the CIs described here above, the extension brings a new User Profile: Network Security Manager which enables R/W access to Flow capacity, Network flow and SNMP Credentials objects. All persons in charge of network security should endorse this profile.
