Network blueprints
Default Blueprint for Network device and its connections
Use this default blueprint to create a technical service.
Before you begin
Discover CIs, CI Kinds, and their relationships through BMC Helix Discovery or any other supported data ingestion mechanism such as API calls.
Nodes, connections, and filters
The blueprint contains information about interconnected nodes, their relationships, and the default filter criteria.
- Start node: Network Device through which the network infrastructure is accessible
- Traversal path and connected nodes: Associated Network Interfaces and Network Devices interconnected with Load Balancer member nodes, other network devices such as printers, SNMP Managed devices, and so on, as shown in the following image:
- Default filter rules:
- The filter criteria are set in the start node, as shown in the following image. The service designer needs to select the name of the Network Device as input when creating the service model.
- The filter rule applied in all other Network Device nodes is of type Device in Stack, as shown in the following image:
- The filter criteria are set in the start node, as shown in the following image. The service designer needs to select the name of the Network Device as input when creating the service model.
