How Do IP Domains Work with UC Monitor?

The task of creating IP domain definitions is performed in CA Performance Center. But the UC Monitor administrator determines the IP domain assignments of monitored items by selecting the appropriate IP domain for each collector.

After IP domain definitions are synchronized with data sources, they are available for use during data collection configuration. Define at least one custom IP domain in CA Performance Center to expose the necessary parameters in the UC Monitor management console.

The IP domain definitions that are synchronized to UC Monitor are assigned to collectors. A collector associates all discovered items with the default IP domain until the administrator assigns a custom IP domain in the collector Properties dialog. These items are then automatically associated with the custom IP domain, but only as they are rediscovered. IP domain assignments are not applied retroactively.

Endpoints An endpoint is any device where a media stream begins or ends, such as telephone, softphone, telepresence, voice gateway, media device, and video camera. are discovered during monitoring. Locations and call server groups are not. You manually edit Location definitions to select a custom IP domain for the IP Domain field. Otherwise, Locations are placed in the default IP domain.

After you create an IP domain, the Location List reflects the new IP domain after the first synchronization. New default Locations for the <External>, <None>, and <Unassigned> categories are included in the list so that one of each appears in each domain. Each IP domain, including the default IP domain, must retain these Locations so that all endpoints detected in call traffic can be properly classified. IP domain designations also appear in report views, where an IP Domain column indicates domain identity.
