A-21 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide Appendix A Icon Reference Badges Report Manager Buttons 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, page A-22 VNE Investigation State Badges, page A-22 Network Element Technology-Related Badges, page A-23 Table A-1 Report Manager Buttons Icon Name Description Define Report of This TypeEnables you to define a report of this type that is suited specifically to your environment. Delete Deletes one or more folders that you created. Delete Report Deletes the selected report. Move Moves one or more folders or reports that you created. New Folder Creates a new folder Rename Renames a folder that you created. Run Generates the selected report View Displays the selected report in HTML format.
A-22 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide Appendix A Icon Reference Badges VNE Communication State Badges VNE Investigation 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. 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. Device Partially Reachable The element is not fully reachable because at least one protocol is not operational. 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. 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. 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 4.3.2 Customization Guide. 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.
A-23 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide Appendix A Icon Reference Badges Network Element Technology-Related Badges 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 4.3.2 Administrator Guide. 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. 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 4.3.2 Customization Guide. 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.

B-1 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide APPENDIX B Permissions Required to Perform Tasks Using the Prime Network Clients Users are allowed to view and manage devices and services depending on how their user account is configured. For GUI operations that do not affect network elements, authorization is based on the default permission that is assigned to your user account. For NE operations (tasks that do affect elements), authorization is based on whether the element is in one of your assigned device scopes and whether you meet the minimum security level for that scope. For more information on user authorization, see the Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 Administrator Guide. These topics provide tables that describe the permissions required to perform tasks in Prime Network.

You can acknowledge, deacknowledge, clear, remove, or add notes for a ticket only if you have OperatorPlus or higher permission for the element that holds the root alarm for that ticket. If the source or contained sources of the ticket are not in your scope, you cannot view the ticket in the ticket table, view ticket properties, or perform actions on the ticket.
