Limitations

There is no specific limitations with that extension.

Requirements

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

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.

Configuration

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.

Creating a new Cluster Network

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 Device Component

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

Displaying a Network Device Component

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:

Typology Elements

Three new typological elements are brought by the extension:

Name Description Attributes Example
Interface Connector Physical connector used on a physical interface Name, Description, List of physical interfaces using it RJ45
Layer 2 protocol Layer 2 protocol used on a network interface Name, Description, List of network interfaces using it Ethernet, Trunking
Interface speed Speed available on a network interface Name, Description, List of network interfaces using it 10 Gb/s

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

These typological elements change the different interfaces as follows:
