Interaction With Other Features Configuring Universal Network Profiles

Service Assurance Agent
The Service Assurance Agent (SAA) profile is particularly useful for monitoring VM connectivity across
the data center. This profile type specifies jitter and latency threshold values and is assigned to UNP
VLAN profiles (service profiles not supported) to associate these performance monitoring thresholds with
the specific UNP.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista network management tool will extract profile information from UNP on
the switch and will create SAA sessions based on the UNP profile SAA threshold values. These SAA
sessions will operate as regular sessions. When a threshold is reached, a trap is sent to OmniVista, and
OmniVista will make the necessary notifications and network modifications.
Shortest Path Bridging
The OmniSwitch supports both a VLAN and service domain for traffic classification. The VLAN domain
is identified by a VLAN ID. The service domain is identified by a Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) service
instance identifier (I-SID), which is translated into a Service Manger service ID to represent a virtual
forwarding instance (VFI).
• In the VLAN domain, each VLAN is accessed through a physical port. Each physical port can have
more than one VLAN attached. UNP VLAN classification associates a MAC address to a specific
VLAN on a physical UNP bridge port.
• In the service domain, each VFI is accessed through a virtual port, referred to as a service access point
(SAP). UNP service classification associates a MAC address to a SAP.
Source Learning
Do not disable source learning on a port or VLAN when using UNP to classify devices ingressing on
UNP-enabled ports.
