Guidance for selecting agents

To discover device technologies (that is, those that use protocols other than IP) on your network, you must ensure that the appropriate agents are active.

The following list provides the non-IP device protocols that are supported by Network Manager. You can select the appropriate agents for these protocols.
  • Frame Relay
  • Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI)
  • Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
  • Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
  • Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP)
  • Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
  • Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
  • Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI)
  • Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
