Configuration
identification (CI) involves identifying the components of the network,
uniquely identifying the individual components, and making them accessible in
some form. A proper configuration
identification schema identifies each component of the network and provides
traceability between the component and its configuration status
information. Proper configuration
identification answers the following questions:
·
What is the configuration of
the network?
·
What are the components of the
network?
·
What are the versions of the
network components?
The major activities of configuration identification are:
·
Selecting network components to
be placed under CM control
·
Creating an identification
scheme for the components to uniquely identify each individual component
The
following sections present the configuration identification activities for the
SN.
Select Network Components
This
plan addresses the CM of the SN network infrastructure – switches, routers, and
hubs. Specifically excluded from this
plan are network server hardware and operating systems.
Architecture
Group, in conjunction with the CCB, will
determine the network hardware components to be placed under CM. The following is a preliminary list of SN
network hardware items to be controlled:
§ Cisco 7000 Series Routers
§ Cisco 5000 Series Routers
§ Cisco 4000 Series Routers
§ Cisco 3000 Series Routers
§ Cisco 2500 Series Routers
§ Ascend MAX Inverse Multiplexer
§ I-MUX Dialup
§ CDDI/FDDI Concentrators
§ Networth 4000 Concentrators
§ Bay Stack Hubs
§ Acculan Hubs
Architecture
Group, in conjunction with the SN CCB, will determine the network software
components to be placed under CM. The
following is a preliminary list of the SN network software items to be
controlled:
§ HP Open View
Uniquely Identify Each Component
Applying
CI naming involves setting naming standards based on criteria about the
component’s location, function, etc. An
example may include naming a router based on the location, model, and function,
such as B9-C7000-FIN (for this example, a CISCO 7000 router located in building
9, used for Financial communication).
The key in CI naming is setting a usable naming standard that can be
applied across the entire enterprise of components within the CM scope.
