Initial Configuration › Configure CA Network Flow Analysis to Work with Performance Center › Verify IP Domains

Verify IP Domains

The IP domains feature helps to address potential IP address conflicts. Domain identifiers indicate that two managed items that otherwise appear as duplicate IP addresses are actually two different managed items.

IP domains also let a global administrator in CA Performance Center or CA NetQoS Performance Center control which managed items are visible to and accessible by a particular administrator or user.

Information about custom IP domains is sent down to the data sources during synchronization. Domains are available for use during configuration. You can use the NFA console Administration functions to add interfaces, custom virtual interfaces (CVIs), routers, and Harvesters to the custom domains that you create.

During initial setup, verify that the existing IP domains are adequate to monitor your environment. To see the domains, complete one of the following actions:

• (CA PC) Select Admin, IP Domains in the CA Performance Center Console, and review the domains on the Manage IP Domains page.
• (NPC) Select Admin, Groups in the CA NetQoS Performance Center Console, then expand the All Groups tree on the Manage Groups page.
