Severity Icons
Table A-8 identifies the severity icons used in Prime Network Events and Prime Network Vision.
The icons and colors are used as follows:
•The icons are used to indicate the severity of alarms in Prime Network Events and tickets in the Prime Network Vision ticket pane.
•The icons are used as badges in Prime Network Vision maps to indicate the highest severity alarm that is not acknowledged for the associated network element.
•The colors are used with network elements in Prime Network Vision to indicate the severity of the highest uncleared ticket on the element.
•The colors are used with links in Prime Network Vision to indicate the severity of the alarm on the link. For more information, see Link Colors.

Description
|
|
Refreshes the information displayed in the Ticket Properties dialog box.
|
|
Acknowledges that the ticket is being handled. The status of the ticket is displayed as true in the ticket pane and in the Ticket Properties dialog box.
If a ticket was acknowledged, and some events were correlated to it afterward, then the ticket is considered to have not been acknowledged.
This button is enabled only if the ticket is not acknowledged.
|
|
Requests the relevant Prime Network system to remove the faulty network element from the Prime Network Vision networking inventory. In addition, it sets the ticket to Cleared severity or status (the icon is displayed in green) and automatically changes the acknowledged status of the ticket to true.
This button is enabled only if the severity of the alarm is higher than Cleared or Normal.
|
|
Saves the notes for the selected ticket.
This button is enabled only when text is entered in the Notes field of the Notes tab.

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 Prime Network Vision and Prime Network Events:
•VNE Communication State Badges
•VNE Investigation State Badges
•Network Element Technology-Related Badges
VNE Communication State Badges
Table A-15 VNE Communication 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 GUI 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.
|
VNE Investigation State Badges
Table A-16 VNE Investigation State Badges
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 3.8 Customization User 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.
|
|
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 3.8 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 3.8 Customization User 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.
