Cisco Active Network Abstraction Administrator’s Guide, 3.5

Scopes

A scope is a named collection of managed Network Elements that have been grouped together in order to allow a user to view and/or manage the Network Elements provided a given role. Grouping can be based on geographical location, Network Element type (such as DSLAM, router, SW, etc.), Network Element category (such as access, core, etc.) or any other division according to the network administrator’s requirements.

Using NetworkVision, a user that has been assigned a scope can view and/or manage the NEs within this scope according to the role assigned to the user as per the scope. The user cannot view any information regarding NEs that are outside the user’s scope, including basic properties, inventory, and alarms.

Static Link

A static link is a physical link that is not automatically discovered by the system. The user manually creates the static link between Network Elements by selecting the two end ports from the NE’s physical inventory.

Transport Link

A transport link is a logical link used for communication between the units and for transferring information.

Users

In order for a user to work with Sheer DNA the following requirements must be met:

•The user must have a valid license installed.

•The user must have a defined Sheer DNA user account.

•The user must have an assigned permission.

For more information about users, refer to Chapter 10, Managing Sheer DNA Security.
