Add a Network Archive Task
From the Task Scheduler page, you can launch collection tasks that create a network model in a database, for use in Paragon Planner. You also have the option to archive the network model.
Tunnel design attributes that are configured in the Tunnel tab of the GUI are inherited by Paragon Planner, even though the attributes are never pushed to the router. When you run the Network Archive task, the tunnel information in Paragon Planner (which came from the router) is merged with the tunnel information in the Path Computation Element (PCE), which includes design attributes that are not pushed to the router. The merged version is then available in Paragon Planner.
The following design attributes that are configured in the Provision LSP pages in the GUI are inherited by Paragon Planner through the network archive task:
-
Properties tab: Routing Method
-
Advanced tab: Symmetric Pair Group, Diversity Group, and Diversity Level
-
Constraints tab: Max Delay, Max Hop, and Max Cost
-
Scheduling tab: All scheduling information
