17 Polling Question #2 17

18 What s new in NNMI 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 18

19 Hypervisor-based network management VMware management 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 19

20 Hypervisor-based network management Topology of VNF infrastructure use cases and features 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 1/10 th node license (device profile = vmwarevm ) Virtual switches running in hypervisor are not counted as nodes 20

23 Management of Hypervisor-based Networking VMware 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

24 Polling Question #3 24

25 Updated UI for NNMi 25

26 Scalability and performance improvements on NNMi 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. 26

27 Traffic enhancements for NNMI Traffic scale / resource footprint 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 27

28 Traffic SPI enhancements for NNMi Bi-directional application protocol mapping Traffic between browser and web server Random high-range TCP: 80,443 web traffic Full bi-directional application protocol mapping Conversation characterization across a reporting point Enhanced drill-down for unknown traffic contributors (port/protocol identification) 28

29 Traffic SPI enhancements for NNMi Bi-directional application protocol mapping Understand your traffic flow Previous top protocols Web Traffic DNS SAP R3 Oracle NNTP Microsoft SMB Unknown New top protocols Web Traffic DNS SAP R3 Oracle NNTP Microsoft SMB Unknown Significantly reduced unknown protocols in observed flows More complete characterization of protocols within the topology, from any reporting source Simplified application protocol mapping 29

30 Traffic SPI enhancements for NNMi Dashboard views Complements the existing volumetric TopN charts Provides bandwidth utilization at a glance for an interface reporting point Highlights conversation (IP Pair) drivers by utilization Top Applications by bandwidth utilization in ingress/egress traffic 30

31 Traffic SPI enhancements for NNMi Dashboard views Complements the existing volumetric TopN charts Provides bandwidth utilization at a glance for an interface reporting point Highlights conversation (IP Pair) drivers by utilization Top Destinations by bandwidth utilization in ingress/egress traffic 31

32 Traffic SPI enhancements for NNMi Dashboard views Complements the existing volumetric TopN charts Provides bandwidth utilization at a glance for an interface reporting point Highlights conversation (IP Pair) drivers by utilization Top Conversation sources by bandwidth utilization in ingress/egress traffic 32

33 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

34 Other NNMi 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 34
