Deploying Sheer DNA

Step 3: Customize protection groups: Enables the administrator to change the default setup of Sheer DNA Units by customizing protection groups (clusters) and then assigning Sheer DNA Units to these groups. For more information, refer to Cisco Active Network Abstraction High Availability User’s Guide.

Important Note: You must assign a DNA Unit and/or Redundant Unit to a specific Protection Group.

Step 4: Customize polling groups: Enables the administrator to customize new polling groups and rates. For more information, refer to the section Customizing a Polling Group on page 116.

Note: This step can be performed at any time after Step 1.

Step 5: Define static links: Enables the administrator to add a static link between two ports of two Network Elements in the network (optional). For more information, refer to the section Creating a Static Link on page 127.

Step 6: Manage and run workflows: Enables the administrator to manage workflow templates and running workflows in runtime using the Workflow Engine branch (optional). For more information, refer to Chapter 9, Managing Workflows.
