Netmaster Network Intelligence Modernization Guide

Netmaster Network Intelligence provides centralized monitoring and automation for SNA and TCP/IP networks. It offers real-time visibility into network performance, automates routine tasks, and helps diagnose and resolve network issues.

Netmaster Network Intelligence integrates the functionalities of legacy CA Netmaster Network Management for TCP/IP, CA Netmaster Network Management for SNA, and CA Netmaster Network Automation into a single solution.

The administrative interfaces include a Command Line Interface (CLI), a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and a web console. The CLI is used for scripting and automation, the GUI provides a visual representation of network status, and the web console offers remote access and management.

Common commands include DISPLAY (to view network status), PING (to test connectivity), TRACEROUTE (to trace network paths), and AUTOTASK (to automate tasks).

Netmaster Network Intelligence exposes REST APIs for programmatic access to network data and automation capabilities. Specific API endpoint patterns include /network/devices, /network/links, and /automation/tasks. Method names include GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.

The main system components include the Central Server, Data Collectors, and User Interface. The Central Server manages the overall system, Data Collectors gather network data, and the User Interface provides access to the data and automation features.

Netmaster Network Intelligence uses a relational database (such as DB2) to store network configuration, performance data, and audit logs.

Netmaster Network Intelligence provides real-time visibility into network performance, enabling faster problem diagnosis and resolution. Automation capabilities reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency.

By automating routine tasks and providing centralized management, Netmaster Network Intelligence reduces operational costs and improves resource utilization.

Netmaster Network Intelligence supports authentication methods such as LDAP, SAML 2.0, and X.509 certificates.

Netmaster Network Intelligence uses Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage user permissions and access to network resources.

Netmaster Network Intelligence uses TLS/SSL encryption to protect data in transit. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256.

Netmaster Network Intelligence provides comprehensive audit logging capabilities, tracking user activity, configuration changes, and security events.

Netmaster Network Intelligence provides monitoring dashboards and alerts to proactively identify and address network issues. It also offers diagnostic tools to troubleshoot problems and restore network services.

User management is handled through the administrative interface, where administrators can create, modify, and delete user accounts and assign roles.

Configuration parameters are managed through configuration files and the administrative interface. Key parameters include network device definitions, monitoring thresholds, and automation rules.
