Its actually pretty cool, you plug it into an NNI port and poof it discovers and draws the network. It tracks link state through the LSPs via the NNI. Basically it just listens to the link state updates so its as fast as IS-IS. No SNMP. I don't think they will have ECT tree drawing for this interop but we were discussing it in the lab yesterday, once they have the data of course its not too hard to add lots of useful bells and whistles.

Are the link events tracked via ISIS updates or via snmp? How fast the link state propagation happens? Congrats on the test. Looking forward for the interop validation Edgard From: spb-isis-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:spb-isis-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Biswajit Nandy Sent: Monday, June 20, 2011 1:28 PM To: spb-isis@ietf.org Subject: [spb-isis] Solana SmartHawk discovers Huawei SPB Switch Topology Hi all, Here is another step towards successful interoperability testing. Solana's SmartHawk network monitoring product is interoperable with Huawei SPB switches. The topology is discovered and link up/sown is monitored. It took us only about 30 minutes to setup, configure and create adjacency with a Huawei SPB switch. I am attaching two images: 1. A screen-shot of Solana's GUI with Huawei switch topology 2. A topology image with 6 Huawei SPB switches and 3 emulated switches. -- red link shows the link down. We are hoping that it will be interoperable with other vendors as well. Thanks Peter, for letting us install our appliance to your lab. Also, your suggestion of "reflecting back" the SPB TLV in Hello worked. Bis Nandy Solana Networks
