Simulate Failure Scenarios
Paragon Planner allows you to simulate failure scenarios on a network to determine the resiliency of the network; see Simulation Menu Overview.
You can perform two types of simulations:
By using pre-defined scenarios. Use this type of simulation to analyze network performance by failing:
One network element type (node, link, site, linecard, and so on) at a time (single failure).
For example, if you select to fail nodes, failure scenarios are executed by failing all nodes in the network, one node at a time.
Two or three types of network elements at a time (multiple failures).
When you select multiple failures, failure scenarios are executed by failing two or three types of selected network elements randomly. The scenarios are executed for the number of times that you specify.
By manually selecting the network elements (interactive scenarios) to fail. In this type of simulation, you select specific network elements of a particular type (for example, nodes, links, interfaces, and so on) or a combination of different types of network elements to fail.
See Simulation Menu: Predefined and Interactive Scenarios for details.
To simulate failure scenarios:
Tab | Action/Description |
---|---|
Single Failure | Select a network element type (Node, Card, Link, Site, Slot, SRLG [Shared Risk Link Group]/Facility, or Parallel links) to fail one network element at a time. |
Multiple Failures | Do the following:
|
Report Options | Select the types of reports that you want to generate and enter an alphanumeric value in the Report Runcode text box. The Report Runcode is an extension that Paragon Planner adds to the filenames of the reports that it generates. Runcodes help you to distinguish between reports that are generated by using the same data set in different sessions. See the Report Options section of Simulation Menu: Predefined and Interactive Scenarios. |
Advanced Options | Do the following:
