Overview
Efficient validation of end-2-end connections for One-NDS processes
One-NDS Connectivity Check allows you to quickly check the end-2-end connections for One-NDS processes and can provide an overview of whether there are interruptions in communication paths (In a running One-NDS system some communication paths are only needed in case of failure or in exceptional situations).
The possibility to check the network of One-NDS at any time and quickly prevents network configuration errors. Using the One-NDS Connectivity Check is especially helpful with One-NDS introduction, One-NDS capacity upgrades, enabling new features, as well as during/after network configuration changes on routers, switches or firewalls.
Use cases
One-NDS Connectivity Check facilitates maintenance tasks and significantly reduces delays in extensions, SW upgrades, and functional improvements to One-NDS. By minimizing demands on the target system and non-invasive tool, it is the right extension of the tools for your One-NDS system of your operations team.
One-NDS Connectivity Checks are recommended in the following situations:
Software upgrade
Preparation and execution of One-NDS Software Upgrade
Additional functions
Preparing and activating additional One-NDS functions
Capacity extension
Preparation and implementation of One-NDS capacity extensions
After maintenance
Checking the connectivity during or after maintenance work on the associated firewalls, routers or switches
