Preface

This guide describes Cisco Prime Network 4.0. Prime Network serves as an extensible integration platform for network and service management. At its core is a virtual network mediation model that is rich, open, and vendor-neutral, and supports the management of diverse multiservice and multivendor networks. Additionally, Prime Network provides the following mature NMS functionality:

•Network topology discovery and visualization.

•Element management, providing near real-time inventory.

•Fault management, event correlation, root cause analysis and troubleshooting.

•Network service support.

This preface contains the following sections:

•Audience, page xxiii

•Document Organization, page xxiv

•Conventions, page xxvi

•Related Documentation, page xxvii

•Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request, page xxvii

Audience

The intended audience for this guide includes:

•Network viewers who monitor the network and perform basic (nonprivileged) system functions.

•Network operators who perform day-to-day operations such as creating business tags and maps, and managing alarms.

•Network configurators who activate services and configure network elements.

•System administrators who manage and configure users, network elements, the Prime Network system, and overall security.

•System managers or administrators who periodically review and manage the events list using Cisco Prime Network Events (Prime Network Events).

•Networking engineers who are interested in understanding how the Prime Network Events fault and root cause analysis mechanism works. These engineers should have networking knowledge at Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) level, and should have received Cisco Prime Network Vision (Prime Network Vision) basic and administrative training.

Chapter 1 Setting Up Devices and Using the GUI Clients

Overview of the GUI Clients

Prime Network Vision

Prime Network Vision is the main GUI client for Prime Network. Maps of devices create a visualization of the network, from the intricacies of a single device physical and logical inventory, to multi-layer topological information on connections, traffic, and routes. Faults and alarms are graphically displayed with built-in troubleshooting tools. Network elements and links using color cues and graphic symbols to indicate status and alarms.

All user actions are controlled by user roles and device scopes. Each user is assigned a role which controls the GUI actions the user can perform. When a user does not have the required permission level to perform a function, the appropriate menu option or button is disabled. Similarly, device scopes, which are named collections of managed network elements, control which devices a user can access. User roles and device scopes are controlled from the Prime Network Administration GUI client.

Prime Network Vision is also the launching point for these features.
