Sheer DNA Manage enables the user to manage and maintain information in the Sheer DNA using the following branches in the Sheer DNA Manage window:

•DNA Servers: Enables the administrator to manage information relating to the Sheer DNA Gateway, and Sheer DNA Units, including the AVMs and the VNEs in the Sheer DNA. This includes viewing a list of Sheer DNA Units, adding, editing and removing AVMs and VNEs, viewing VNE and AVM properties, starting and stopping AVMs and VNEs, and moving VNEs to maintenance mode. The DNA Servers branch includes the DNA Gateway and AVM sub-branches. For more information about the DNA Servers branch, refer to page 20.

•Global Settings: The Global Settings branch includes the Client Licenses, DB segments, Message of the Day, Polling Groups and Protection Groups sub-branches. The Global Settings branch enables the administrator to:

•Install and manage Sheer DNA Client licenses.

•Enables the administrator to view a table describing the storage allocated for all the database segments. For more information about the DB Segments branch, refer to page 37.

•Manage the service disclaimer (message of the day). For more information about the Service Disclaimer Message of the Day, refer to page 113.

•Manage the polling groups to be used by a group of devices. The administrator can define a few polling groups, and the devices will then be polled according to the polling group. Every polling group has a different set of polling intervals. For more information about the Polling Groups branch, refer to page 114.

•Manage and change the default setup of the Sheer DNA Units by customizing protection groups (clusters) and then assigning Sheer DNA Units to these protection groups. For more information about the Protection Groups branch, refer to page 121.

For more information about the Global Settings branch, refer to page 33.

•Scopes: Enables the administrator to group a collection of managed Network Elements together in order to enable the user to view and/or manage the Network Elements based on the user’s role. For more information about the Scopes branch, refer to page 44.

•Topology: Enables the administrator to manage topology-related parameters, namely, the static links between the devices. For more information about the Topology branch, refer to page 47.
