Ghost device1

1 When Cisco ANA NetworkVision detects a network device for which there is not enough information available, the device is displayed as a ghost device on the map. In this case, the user is unable to view the ghost device's properties or communicate with the device. When the ghost device's information is updated, its icon is replaced with the relevant device icon and all the related device information and communications become available.

Alarm and Ticket Icons

The way in which a ticket is displayed in the ticket pane depends on the status and severity of the alarm. The ticket displays the severity level of the top-most alarm.

In the tree pane and ticket pane, the icon is displayed. In the map pane, the icon is displayed. The ticket pane icons change when:

A ticket is generated.

A ticket is cleared.

A ticket is acknowledged.

An up ticket is generated.

A ticket is cleared and removed.

For more information about severities, see Map View, page 2-5.

An example of the appearance of the ticket pane when a ticket is generated is displayed below.

Note When a ticket with an Information severity is acknowledged, the ticket is automatically removed from the Cisco ANA Gateway and from the ticket pane.


The cause of the alarm is fixed; therefore an `Up Ticket' is automatically generated with an OK severity. An example of the appearance of the ticket pane when an `Up Ticket' is generated is displayed below.

The ticket can be removed from the ticket pane when it has been cleared or when an `Up Ticket' is generated. The ticket is then removed from the ticket pane, and the database approves the reported faulty ticket and clears the faulty networking entity from Cisco ANA. In addition, the ticket and all its active alarms and business entities are removed from Cisco ANA Gateway and from the ticket pane.
