What Is the UML? UML is a language for: UML is a language for:  Visualizing  Specifying  Constructing  Documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system.

Software Development Artifacts Most software projects produce a number of artifacts: Most software projects produce a number of artifacts:  Requirements  Architecture  Design  Source code  Project plans  Tests  Prototypes  Releases UML is a language for expressing a system’s architecture and associated details. It also is a language for expressing requirements and test cases. UML is a language for expressing a system’s architecture and associated details. It also is a language for expressing requirements and test cases.

AutoDiscovery & Layout TCP/IP Discovery and Diagramming TCP/IP Discovery and Diagramming SNMP-based SNMP-based Discovers Layer 2 and Layer 3 Topologies Discovers Layer 2 and Layer 3 Topologies  Network Layer  Data Link Layer Maps to equipment in shape library Maps to equipment in shape library  22K vendor specific network shapes Stored in local MSDE or SQL database Stored in local MSDE or SQL database  Results must be stored locally  Database is “open”  Can access with SQL, Crystal Reports, etc

Layer 3 IP Addresses discovered IP Addresses discovered Layer 3 connectivity Layer 3 connectivity Network and Interface types Network and Interface types  Single subnet may be multiple types

Layer 2 MAC Addresses MAC Addresses Layer 2 connectivity Layer 2 connectivity VLAN’s and Spanning Tree VLAN’s and Spanning Tree  Cisco  3Com  Extreme Networks

Frame Relay Discovery runs Discovery runs Discover DLCI’s Discover DLCI’s  Data Link Connection Identifier  Number of a private virtual circuit (PVC) on a frame relay network Provide UI to correlate DLCI’s and add CIR’s (as appropriate) Provide UI to correlate DLCI’s and add CIR’s (as appropriate)

Windows Networks If WMI present: If WMI present:  Operating System details  Network configuration details  Logical disks  Shared Resources  Services If WMI not present If WMI not present  Shared Resources

Tuning Discovery Discovery does not impact network performance Discovery does not impact network performance  Small, low priority packets  Limited number of simultaneous requests Can specify retries and timeouts Can specify retries and timeouts  For SNMP and/or PING  Used to tune for latency, performance

Security Discovery requires SNMP Community string Discovery requires SNMP Community string  Needs “read” access Without SNMP string Without SNMP string  Discovery can’t leave local subnet  Discovery will only perform PINGs Discovery is read only Discovery is read only Discovery is not a packet sniffer Discovery is not a packet sniffer
