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.

Table 33-1 Managed Element (IManagedElement) 

Attribute Name	Attribute Description	Scheme	Polling Interval
IP Address	Management IP address	Any	Configuration
Communication State	Communication state with the managed device and the gateway (Unknown, Device Unreachable, Agent Unreachable, Device Reachable, Agent Unloaded)	Any	Configuration

Logical Root

The Logical Root and Physical Root objects aggregate or contain all the logical and physical components of a Managed Element. They are accessed by the later logical and physical root attributes.

Managed IP

The Managed IP object aggregates or contains all logical components of a Managed Element that are managed by one of the multiple managed IP addresses of this element. It is accessed by a Logical Root.

Service Alarms

The following alarms are supported for base logical components:

•Component Unreachable/Component Reachable

•CPU Over Utilized/CPU Normal Use

•Device Unsupported

•Memory Over Utilized/Memory Normal Use

For detailed information about alarms and correlation, see the Cisco Active Network Abstraction 3.7 User Guide.
