What’s new in NNMI 10.10

18

Hypervisor-based network management (VMware management)

New look and color palette for the user interface

Scalability and performance improvements

Performance SPI enhancements

Additional supported environments

Hypervisor-based network managementVMware management

19

–Supports ESXi hosts, virtual switches, and hosted VMs

–Fault and performance management– Web communication for discovery &

monitoring– Use of VMware web services to ESXi host– Web agent object (analogous to SNMP Agent)

to represent web-based communication– Communication configuration

– Device credentials to access the ESXi host– Certificate configuration to trust the ESXi host (for https)– nnmcommunication.ovpl command support– SNMP management of ESXi host also required

Hypervisor-based network managementTopology of VNF infrastructure use cases and features

20

– Discovery of virtual topology and its relation to physical topology– ESXi hypervisors– Standard and distributed vSwitches

– Virtual L2 bridges modeled as multiplexor interfaces

– Virtual Machines (VMs)– VMs can be used as VNFs running Virtual Routers, Load

Balancers, Firewalls, WAN Accelerators, IM Servers, etc.– Recommend use of VMware Tools to get IP addresses

– L2 connectivity to VMs– Physical uplinks to the access switch

– vMotion detection and updating of topology– Reconciliation of nodes discovered via both

SNMP and Web Services– Licensing

– VMs managed only through Web Agent count as 1/10th node license (device profile = “vmwareVM”)

– Virtual switches running in hypervisor are not counted as nodes

Management of Hypervisor-based NetworkingVMware Management– Monitoring

– Monitoring of the state of new objects, including the Web Agents, hypervisors, virtual switches, VNICs, virtual ports, and VMs.

– Power State monitoring of VMs (Powered On, Powered Off, Suspended)

– Some monitoring settings configuration required

– Causal Analysis– New conclusions, status, and incidents for the virtual

environment– Example conclusions: vSwitchDegraded, NodePaused– Example incidents: Node Powered Down, Web Agent Not Responding

– Impact of physical faults on virtual environment

– UI Visualization– Two new visualizations to help troubleshoot virtual networking

– Wheel Diagram and Loom Diagram

– GNM Support

Polling Question #3

24

Updated UI for NNMi

25

Scalability and performance improvements on NNMi

26

– Scalability– GNM can scale up from 65K to 80K nodes

– Performance– Discovery time improvements– APA performance reduces the time to calculate

RCA for faults due to network outages.– Improved time to sync status between Global and

Regional servers.

Traffic enhancements for NNMI 10.10Traffic scale / resource footprint

27

150% increase in flow record throughput– Scale enhancement from 8M Flows/Min to 20M Flows/Min– Eight Leaf Nodes supported per Master Node– No increase required in the Leaf Node resource profile– Significant optimizations in the processing of flow records

Traffic between browser and web server

Traffic SPI enhancements for NNMi 10.10Bi-directional application protocol mapping

28

TCP: 80,443web traffic

Random high-range

– Full bi-directional application protocol mapping

– Conversation characterization across a reporting point

– Enhanced drill-down for unknown traffic contributors (port/protocol identification)

Understand your traffic flow

Traffic SPI enhancements for NNMi 10.10Bi-directional application protocol mapping

29

– Significantly reduced “unknown” protocols in observed flows

– More complete characterization of protocols within the topology, from any reporting source

– Simplified application protocol mapping

Quality Assurance SPI Enhancements for NNMi 10.01:

• Support for Juniper RPM• Discovery of timestamp

enabled probes on Juniper devices

• Additional jitter metrics monitored for network performance

• Improved performance monitoring at scale• Discovery and display of device model on which probes are hosted• iRA probes identified with device model net-SNMPAgent5.1

Other NNMi 10.01 Features

– Replicate NNMi Management Server Configuration– NNMi enables you to use the export and import option to replicate the configuration between two NNMi management

servers.– To replicate the NNMi configuration from one NNMi management server to another, use the nnmconfigexport.ovpl command with the -c all option and then use nnmconfigimport.ovpl command with the -sync option.

– Replaces existing objects, adds new objects, and deletes all existing objects not in the import file

– Configuring the Locale for Sort Order of User Names when Assigning Incidents– Display name sorted by specified locale– Folds lower and upper case names together

– SSLv3 Ciphers– By default, SSLv3 ciphers are now disabled– TLS v1, TLS v1.1 and TLS v1.2 are enabled by default– SSLv3 may need to be enabled for certain integrations
