Converged Network Analyzer Test Plug

The converged network analyzer (CNA) test plug feature provides a distributed system tool for real-time network monitoring that detects and diagnoses converged-network-related issues. When enabled, this monitoring tool is proactive and can identify network conditions or impairment that can degrade the overall network performance and diagnose if a security gateway is experiencing difficulty. Within the CNA, the test plugs are independent software modules that are injected into the fault-tolerant network to collect and analyze the network test data. If potential network problems are detected, they are escalated using standards-based alarms and notification.

This feature includes enabling CNA, setting the test plug services, configuring the RTP test port and CNA unit port, and adding CNA units for registration.
