Cisco Active Network Abstraction Administrator’s Guide, 3.5

A VNE must be loaded into the bootstrap of the Sheer DNA Unit before it starts monitoring its underlying NE. This changes the administrative status of the VNE to Up, and ensures that the VNE is loaded on subsequent restarts of the Sheer DNA Unit. Loading the VNE also starts the VNE immediately. For more information on the status of VNEs, refer to page 88.

Before adding a new VNE using DNA Manage, the user must first determine to which Sheer DNA Unit and AVM, the new VNE should be added.

The user can define and manage SNMP, Telnet/SHH, ICMP, and polling information for the appropriate VNEs in the New VNE dialog box.

Note: A new VNE cannot be added to the reserved AVMs 0-100.

The user can create VNEs that perform reachability testing only through ICMP. This can be done by creating the VNE and selecting the type ICMP and then defining the details in the ICMP tab. For more information about the ICMP tab, refer to page 98.

For information on defining VNE properties in the respective VNE tabs, refer to the following sub-sections:

General properties on page 92

SNMP properties on page 94

Telnet/SSH properties on page 96

ICMP properties on page 98

Polling properties on page 99

For details on viewing and editing VNE properties, refer to the section Viewing and Editing a VNE’s Properties on page 101.

To define the properties of a new VNE

1.Select the DNA Servers branch in the Sheer DNA Manage window’s Tree pane. The DNA Servers branch is displayed.

2.Expand the DNA Unit branch and select the required AVM sub-branch in the Tree pane.
