How NetIM Infers Links and Connections
This section describes how NetIM infers links and connections between devices.
The Link and Connection Inference adapter uses data stored in the NetIM database to infer:
Physical links
Logical connections
Module containment relationships between separately managed components of a routing switch
The data examined by Link and Connection Inference depends on the specific inference engines enabled when the adapter runs. The results are influenced by the configuration properties for the inference engine itself as well as advanced options.
