Checking topology paths used by RCA

Use the RCA path tool to check whether a topological path between network devices is available for the purposes of topological correlation.

About the RCA path tool
The RCA path tool provides a debugging aid for root cause analysis situations that involve isolated suppression.
Using the RCA path tool
Use these examples to understand how the RCA path tool can be used to display paths between specified source and target entities on the network.
Example: Determining potential root causes along a path
You can use the RCA path tool to simulate a failure along a network path. If there is no alternative path to the target entity, then the path to any device downstream of the failure will now be broken. In the production environment, the device corresponding to the failure device becomes root cause..
Example: Determining alternative paths
You can use the RCA path tool to determine alternative network paths in the case of a device failure. If there is an alternative path to the target entity, then in the production environment, the device corresponding to the failure device does not become root cause because there is an alternative path to the target entity.
