5.4.4 Node-to-Node Tests
Node to node tests are typically used to measure jitter, packet loss, and delay on synthetic
test traffic generated by the Cisco IOS IP SLA (IP SLA) on any Cisco IOS device across
a WAN.

5.4.4.1 Preparing Devices for Node-To-Node Tests
You need to manually enable the IP SLA in Cisco IOS. You may need to configure,
depending on the Cisco IOS device, the RTR Responder, or the IP SLA Responder
Command Line Interface (CLI).

Notification Services
The customization that is available for the northbound notification is extensive. If there is
a messaging gateway to the paging system, e-page subscriptions can also be set up.
Most large enterprises have their own domain managers already running in their
management systems. Therefore, the SNMP traps generated by Operations Manager are
helpful in integrating Operations Manager with other managers such as Cisco Info Center
(CIC), HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM), or Tivoli Netview.
The e-mail and e-page notification mechanisms provide additional ways of informing
network operations personnel about the alerts in their network. This frees network
personnel from having to monitor the real-time fault view throughout the day.

Event Sets:
Operations Manager sends notifications based on violation of thresholds as defined in
Polling and Thresholds (Administration > Polling and Thresholds). Various attributes are
constantly polled from all the devices monitored by Operations Manager. Operations
Manager can alert up to 116 events in total. Event sets enable you to selectively pick the
events of interest and then associate those events to a particular list of devices.
This feature is useful in situations where the support for devices, or device types, or
expertise is split across multiple departments or personnel.
Notification Criteria:
Allows you to set up notifications based on devices or service quality parameters.
When setting up e-mail notifications, make sure the following are taken care of in the
Operations Manager server:
• Port 25 is open for the e-mail notification.
•
If Virus Scan is installed, Virus Scan > Properties > Blocking > Block the
