Icon Reference

The following topics identify the buttons, icons, and badges used in the Vision client and the Events client:

Icons

Icons are categorized into these four classes:

NE Type Icons

When an NE icon changes color, that means it has a ticket, and the ticket has the severity indicated by the color (see Severity Icons and Colors for Events, Tickets, and NEs). Depending on the icon size, the following information may also be displayed:

  • Element model
  • IP address
  • Software version
  • Inventory button
  • Filter Tickets button
  • Attach Business Ta g button

n

The number of alarms with the highest severity that have the source as the network element and are part of the network element ticket(s).

s

Badges

Badges are small icons that appear with other network elements, such as element icons or links. The following topics describe the badges used by the Vision client and the Events client:

VNE Communication State Badges

Badge
State Name
Description

None

Agent Not Loaded

The VNE is not responding to the gateway because it was stopped, or it was just created. This communication state is the equivalent of the Defined Not Started investigation state.

 

310379.tif

VNE/Agent Unreachable

The VNE is not responding to the gateway. This can happen if the unit or AVM is overutilized, the connection between the gateway and unit or AVM was lost, or the VNE is not responding in a timely fashion. (A VNE in this state does not mean the device is down; it might still be processing network traffic.)

None

Connecting

The VNE is starting and the initial connection has not yet been made to the device. This is a momentary state. Because the investigation state decorator (the hourglass) will already be displayed, a special client decorator is not required.

 

310375.tif

Device Partially Reachable

The element is not fully reachable because at least one protocol is not operational.

 

310380.tif

Device Unreachable

The connection between the VNE and the device id down because all of the protocols are down (though the device might be sending traps or syslogs).

None

Tracking Disabled

The reachability detection process is not enabled for any of the protocols used by the VNE. The VNE will not perform reachability tests nor will Prime Network generate reachability-related events. In some cases this is desirable; for example, tracking for Cloud VNEs should be disabled because Cloud VNEs represent unmanaged network segments.

VNE Investigation State Badges

Badge
State Name
Description

None

Defined Not Started

A new VNE was created (and is starting); or an existing VNE was stopped. In this state, the VNE is managed and is validating support for the device type. (This investigation state is the equivalent of the Agent Not Loaded communication state.)

A VNE remains in this state until it is started (or restarted) by a user.

 

310381.tif

Unsupported

The device type is either not supported by Prime Network or is misconfigured (it is using the wrong scheme, or is using reduced polling but the device does not support it).

To extend Prime Network functionality so that it recognizes unsupported devices, use the VNE Customization Builder. See the Cisco Prime Network 5.2 Customization Guide.

 

310372.tif

Discovering

The VNE is building the model of the device (the device type was found and is supported by Prime Network). A VNE remains in this state until all device commands are successfully executed at least once, or until there is a discovery timeout.

None

Operational

The VNE has a stable model of the device. Modeling may not be fully complete, but there is enough information to monitor the device and make its data available to other applications, such as activation scripts. A VNE remains in this state unless it is stopped or moved to the maintenance state, or there are device errors.

 

310371.tif

Currently Unsynchronized

The VNE model is inconsistent with the device. This can be due to a variety of reasons; for a list of these reasons along with troubleshooting tips, see the topic on troubleshooting VNE investigation state issues in the Cisco Prime Network 5.2 Administrator Guide.

 

310374.tif

Maintenance

VNE polling was suspended because it was manually moved to this state (by right-clicking the VNE and choosing Actions > Maintenance). The VNE remains in this state until it is manually restarted. A VNE in the maintenance state has the following characteristics:

  • Does not poll the device, but handles syslogs and traps.
  • Maintains the status of any existing links.
  • Does not fail on VNE reachability requests.
  • Handles events for correlation flow issues. It does not initiate new service alarms, but does receive events from adjacent VNEs, such as in the case of a Link Down alarm.

The VNE is moved to the Stopped state if: it is VNE is moved, the parent AVM is moved or restarted, the parent unit switches to a standby unit, or the gateway is restarted.

 

310497.tif

Partially Discovered

The VNE model is inconsistent with the device because a required device command failed, even after repeated retries. A common cause of this state is that the device contains an unsupported module. To extend Prime Network functionality so that it recognizes unsupported modules, use the VNE Customization Builder. See the Cisco Prime Network 5.2 Customization Guide.

 

310378.tif

Shutting Down

The VNE has been stopped or deleted by the user, and the VNE is terminating its connection to the device.

None

Stopped

The VNE process has terminated; it will immediately move to Defined Not Started.
