Connections Page Actions

The Connections page (Network > Connections) allows operators to view the connections defined in the network.

View the following information about each connection:

■

Status

■

Name

■

Node 1

■

Routing Interface 1

■

Edges Status

■

Node 2

■

Routing Interface 2

■

Weight

■

The 'Edges Status' column displays the administrative status of each edge of every connection that was made between two nodes (node 1 and 2). Each connection between nodes comprises two (directional) IP Groups on each side. When the operator creates a connection between two nodes, the ARM defines an IP Group (edge) on each node. In this way, the connection comprises two edges and the connection status aggregates the statuses of both edges. The column consequently allows a better understanding of each connection's aggregated status, as each connection is affected by both directional edges.

Green = AVAILABLE

Red = UNAVAILABLE

In the example shown in the preceding figure:

■

the administrative status of both edges (node 1 and node 2) of the connection remote_proxy_con is AVAILABLE ←→

■

the administrative status of the node 1 edge of the connection remoteB_proxy_con is UNAVAILABLE while the administrative status of the node 2 edge is AVAILABLE ←→

'Search' functionality is allowed for all the relevant information fields: Node Name, Connection Name, Weight or Routing Interface.

Information displayed in the Connections page is identical to that displayed in the Network Map page - see under Connection Information and Actions.

You can perform the following actions:

■

Sync Topology

■

Add Connection (after selecting the row of the connection to edit)

■

Edit Connection (after selecting the row of the connection to edit)

■

Delete Connection (after selecting the row of the connection to edit)

■

Refresh

Multiple rows can be selected and multiple delete is supported. For more information about Sync Topology, see Synchronizing Topology. For more information about the Add, Edit and Delete Connection, see under Connection Information and Actions.
