Managing AVMs and VNEs

Cloud: Loads an unmanaged network segment. Specific cloud configuration is provided on a per project basis.

ICMP: The VNE uses this ICMP-based reachability test to validate communication with the managed device by continuously sending ICMP packets.

Note: When this option is selected the ICMP tab is enabled (the SNMP, Telnet / SSH and Polling tabs are disabled).

Scheme: Defines the VNE modeling components investigated during the discovery process. This enables the administrator to define different behavior for some devices, for example, for some devices poll only with SNMP and for other devices also poll with Telnet. Soft properties and activation scripts are also attached to a specific scheme. By default, the VNE inherits the VNE Scheme from the Default scheme. Select the VNE Scheme from the dropdown list. Where more than one scheme exists in the network, the VNE loads the selected scheme.

The following VNE state fields are displayed in the Initial State area:

State: The initial state of the VNE, namely, Start, Stop or Maintenance. By default, this option is set to Stop.

Stop: The VNE is not loaded.

Start: The VNE is loaded and starts collecting data.

Maintenance: The VNE is started and moved to maintenance mode, this means that no alarms will be sent. For more information, refer to page 88.

The following fields are displayed in the Location area of the General tab:

DNA Unit: The IP address of the Sheer DNA Unit that hosts the VNE’s AVM.

AVM: The AVM on the Sheer DNA Unit that hosts the VNE.
