Chapter 7 Impact Analysis
Impact Report Structure
Note Each fault which has been identified as potentially service affecting triggers a generation of impact analysis calculation event if it is reoccurring in the network.
This chapter describes the automatic impact analysis. For more information about proactive impact analysis, refer to the Cisco Active Network Abstraction NetworkVision User Guide.
Impact Report Structure
The impact report contains a list of pairs of endpoints when the service between them has been affected.
Each endpoint has the following details:
•Endpoint physical or logical
•Business tag
Note For specific information about the report structure in MPLS networks, refer to the Cisco Active Network Abstraction MPLS User Guide.
Affected Severities
In automatic mode, the affected parties can be marked with one of the following severities:
•Potentially
•Real
•
•The initial impact report might mark the services as either potentially or real affected. As time progresses and more information is accumulated from the network, the system might issue additional reports to indicate which of the potentially affected parties are real or recovered.
•The indications for these states are available both through the API and in the GUI.
Note The reported impact severities vary between fault scenarios. For more information about fault scenarios in an MPLS network see the Cisco Active Network Abstraction MPLS User Guide.
Note There is no clear state for the affected services when the alarm is cleared.
