RE: [nv-l] Correlation question

["Binder, Karin" <karin.binder@nwa.com>]

Jim,

 

I'm unclear from your post whether you are attempting correlation at layer 2 (use of term segment) or layer 3 (represented by X.Y.Z network number).  Others have already suggested third party products for layer 2 correlation.  Netview has some layer 3 correlation via the Router Fault Isolation feature.  If you're not already familiar, refer to document /usr/OV/doc/RouterFaultIsolation.htm 

 

Regards,

Karin Binder
