Logical Components


This chapter describes the level of support that Cisco ANA provides for basic logical components required for network element modeling, as follows:

Information Model Objects (IMOs)

Service Alarms

Information Model Objects (IMOs)

This section describes the following IMOs:

Managed Element (IManagedElement)

Logical Root (ILogicalRoot)

Physical Root (IPhysicalRoot)

Managed IP (IManagedIP)

Context (IContext)

System Service (ISystemService)

Managed Element

The Managed Element object describes the root object of a modeled network element, from which all of its physical (chassis, slots, modules, port connectors) and logical (routing and switching entities, communication and physical termination point) component objects are accessed.
