2.3.1DNA Servers Branch

Sheer DNA Manage maintains a list of all of the DNA Servers defined in the system. The DNA Servers branch enables the user to add and remove DNA Unit Servers.

The user can expand this branch to view a list of the Sheer DNA Units, Sheer DNA Gateway and AVMs. Each Sheer DNA Gateway, Sheer DNA Unit and AVM has its own sub-branch. The DNA Servers branch (and associated sub- branches) enables the user to manage information relating to the AVMs and VNEs contained in the Sheer DNA Units.

Note: AVMs and VNEs should reside on a Sheer DNA Unit (as a common configuration) but they can also reside on a Sheer DNA Gateway.

The DNA Servers branch is displayed below.

The DNA Servers branch contains the following sub-branches:

DNA Gateway and DNA Unit, namely, DNA Server Entities, refer to page 24.

AVMs, refer to page 29.
