What Is the UML?

UML is a language for:
 Visualizing
 Specifying
 Constructing
 Documenting
the artifacts of a software-intensive
system.
Software Development
Artifacts


Most software projects produce a number of artifacts:
 Requirements
 Architecture
 Design
 Source code
 Project plans
 Tests
 Prototypes
 Releases
UML is a language for expressing a system’s
architecture and associated details. It also is a
language for expressing requirements and test cases.

Discovery runs
Discover DLCI’s



Data Link Connection Identifier
Number of a private virtual circuit (PVC) on
a frame relay network

If WMI present:






Operating System details
Network configuration details
Logical disks
Shared Resources
Services
If WMI not present

Shared Resources
Tuning Discovery

Discovery does not impact network
performance



Small, low priority packets
Limited number of simultaneous requests
Can specify retries and timeouts


For SNMP and/or PING
Used to tune for latency, performance
Security

Discovery requires SNMP Community
string


Without SNMP string




Needs “read” access
Discovery can’t leave local subnet
Discovery will only perform PINGs
Discovery is read only
Discovery is not a packet sniffer
