Managing AVMs and VNEs

3.Right-click to display the menu and select Move AVM. The Move to dialog box is displayed.

The Move to dialog box displays a tree-and-branch representation of the selected Sheer DNA Server and its Units, excluding the Sheer DNA Unit in which the AVM is currently located. The highest level of the tree displays the Sheer DNA Server. The branches can be expanded and collapsed in order to display and hide information.

4.Browse to and select the Sheer DNA Unit (branch) where you want to move the AVM(s).

5.Click OK. The AVM(s) is moved and now appears beneath the selected Sheer DNA Unit.

For information about moving VNEs, refer to page 105.

6.7VNEs Overview

A Virtual Network Element (VNE) is designated by its leading IP address and corresponds to a single Network Element (NE). Typically a Network Element has only one IP address that is used for management. For such devices the leading IP address is the single IP address configured for this device.

In cases where a NE has multiple IP addresses, the operator must choose one of these IP addresses to be used as a leading IP address. The leading IP address serves as an identifier of the VNE that corresponds to the NE and is displayed wherever the IP address of the Network Element is required.

Note: Two VNEs cannot monitor the same Network Element.

Sheer DNA Manage enables the user to create VNEs (replicas of devices), for example, by entering the IP address, SNMP and polling rate information and so on. This is called Element Management.
