Creating an Aggregated Node

The connected CE devices are hidden in the tree and map panes. Table 2-1shows the displayed icons.

Table 2-1 Hidden Device Icons

Description

Site with one or more hidden connected devices.

LCP with one or more one hidden connected devices.

You can also manually remove the connected devices (some or all them) in order to hide them along with the links to sites or LCPs.

Creating an Aggregated Node

You can aggregate elements, for example, aggregate sites or aggregate sites and virtual routers. To create an aggregation:

Step 1 Select the required business elements in the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree or map pane using <Ctrl> or the selection tool.

Note The Aggregate option is enabled only when multiple business elements are selected.

Step 2 From the Node menu, choose Aggregate.

The Aggregation dialog box is displayed prompting you to type a name for the aggregated node.

Step 3 In the Aggregation dialog box, enter a unique name for the aggregated node.

Step 4 Click OK.

The aggregated node is displayed in the Cisco ANA NetworkVision tree and map pane. Aggregated nodes are displayed as a single entity using the aggregation icon.

Disaggregating an Aggregated Node

Aggregated nodes can be broken apart, or disaggregated, and their aggregated association dissolved. To disaggregate an aggregated node:

Step 1 Select either the aggregated node branch in the tree pane or the aggregated node in the map pane.

Step 2 From the Node menu, choose Disaggregate.
