Managing MPLS VPN Maps

The following topics tell you how to change service view maps by adding and removing VPNs and connecting CE devices. They also tell you how to create and dissolve aggregations. Topics include:

•Adding a VPN to a Map, page 2-1—Describes how to add a VPN to the currently displayed service view map.

•Removing a VPN from a Map, page 2-2—Describes how to change the service view map by removing a VPN from the currently active map.

•Connecting a CE Device, page 2-2—Describes how to connect a CE device to its respective sites or LCPs.

•Disconnecting a CE Device, page 2-3—Describes how to disconnect a CE device.

•Showing or Hiding a CE Device, page 2-3—Describes how to display and hide the CE device on the service view map.

•Creating an Aggregated Node, page 2-4—Describes how to aggregate business elements according to a logical hierarchy.

•Disaggregating an Aggregated Node, page 2-4—Describes how to disaggregate an aggregated node.

Adding a VPN to a Map

You can add VPNs to a service map if the VPNs are not currently displayed in the map.

Note Adding VPNs will affect other users if they are working with the same service view map. See the “Creating a VPN” section on page 3-1.

To add an existing VPN to a map:

Step 1 In the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree pane, choose the map root.

Note The Add VPN option is not enabled until you choose the root icon in the tree pane.

Step 2 From the File menu, choose Add VPN.

The Add Business Element to <Root> dialog box displays either or both of the following:
