Topology Sets are a user-defined collection of network elements. Creating a Topology Set allows you to monitor or validate behavior of a sub-set of your network. Topology sets must contain items of the same type. You can create a set containing:
- CMTSs
- Cable Modems
- Channels
Consider the following benefits of using a Topology Set:
- You can monitor a set of elements registering a common set of issues.
- You can monitor a set of elements that contain a particular technology, for example only DOCSIS 3.1 modems.
- You can monitor a set of newly installed or serviced elements.
The sections that follow describe how to create and manage Topology Sets.
NOTE: Any user with access to Analyze Network
View can view Topology Sets. However, to create or delete Topology Sets, your user
profile must belong to a group that contains the "Topology Set" permission. See the
ServAssure® NXT Administration Guide for
details on permissions.
