Network maps
A Network Map consists of all of the devices known to the Avaya Network Management Server,
their physical connectivity to ports, and their relationship in the voice hierarchy. The list of
devices is stored in the database, along with basic information about each device. When the
Avaya Network Management Console opens, the Avaya Network Management Server extracts
information about the devices in the Network Map from the database. These devices are
displayed in the Network Tree.
Devices can be added to the current Network Map using Discovery or the Add Device dialog
box. Devices in the Network Map can also be modified. All changes to the Network Map are
stored in the database.
You can maintain multiple Network Maps by saving individual maps with unique names. The
Network Map whose devices are visible in the Avaya Network Management Console is the
current Network Map.
Note:
Changing the map affects all open network-wide applications.
You can also create a text file that contains the necessary information about each device you
want to add to the current Network Map and import the devices listed in the file into the Network
Map. For more information on importing devices into the Network Map, refer to Importing
devices into the Network Map on page 87.
The Avaya Network Management Server can also export the information in the current Network
Map to a CSV file. For more information on exporting the device information from the current
Network Map, refer to
Exporting the Network Map on page 88.
Discovery
The Avaya Network Management Console uses Discovery to detect or discover your network.
The Discovery tool discovers subnets and nodes, the physical port location of the devices, the
Avaya VoIP hierarchy, phone information and phone locations for IP, analog and digital phones.
The Discovery tool uses SNMP MIB-II on network nodes to search your network. In addition,
you can instruct Discovery to use Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo (ping) to
search the network. You can instruct Discovery to search your entire network, limit the search to
selected subnets, or update information about the objects in the Network View. The Discovery
window displays the results of your search.
