Ridgeline Overview

EAPS Monitoring and Configuration Verification

Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) provides "carrier-class" network resiliency and
availability for enterprise networks. Ridgeline monitors EAPS rings from Network Views. You can
identify and display the status of EAPS rings, including Master and Transit nodes, link status, and a
variety of status information. Detailed status information is provided in multiple tables for domains,
devices and links.
You can also run a configuration verification which produces a report that details any configuration
errors detected among your EAPS nodes or domains.

Ridgeline Software Architecture

The Ridgeline software is made up of three major functional components:
The Ridgeline Server. The server is responsible for managing security and communicating with the
●
managed objects, database, and client systems.
The Ridgeline Database. The database is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS),
●
which is used as both a persistent data store and a data cache.
The Ridgeline Client. The client is a Java application downloaded on demand from the server to a
●
workstation running a supported browser and the Java plug-in. To start the client, a user points his
or her browser to the Ridgeline server and clicks the Log on to Ridgeline link. The client application
is then automatically downloaded to the user's workstation and started.
