Chapter 1 Viewing MPLS VPNs

VPN Topology Connections

Tree Pane

The Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree pane displays the VPN business elements in a tree and branch representation. Each business element is represented by an icon in a color that reflects the highest alarm severity. The icon might have a management state icon or alarm. Table 1-3shows the tree and map pane icons.

The reconciliation icon. The network element wrapped by this business element does not exist; for example, the device configuration has changed and a network problem exists.

The neighboring LCP does not exist or was not discovered.

The highest level of the tree pane displays the root or map name. The branches display the VPN and aggregated business elements as well as their names. The Layer 3 VPN sub branch displays the virtual routers and sites contained in the VPN along with the names of the business elements. In addition, CE devices can also be displayed in the Layer 3 VPN sub branches. The Layer 2 VPN sub branches display the LCAs and LCPs contained in the VPN along with the names of the business elements. In addition, CE devices can also be displayed in the Layer 2 VPN sub branches. If you select an aggregated business element in the tree pane, the map pane displays the business elements contained within the aggregated business element.
