Supported Technologies


This chapter outlines the technologies supported in Prime Network 3.9. Supported technologies are listed in Table 11-1. Technology support that was introduced in Prime Network 3.9 is marked as such in the table. The fact that a specific technology is listed in Table 11-1 does not imply that every aspect of every relevant standard is represented and supported. In addition, the specific level of support provided for a particular technology on individual network elements can vary. For details on technology support on individual VNEs, see Part 1—Cisco VNEs.

The supported technologies table indicates the level of support that Prime Network provides for the various technologies, as follows:

Element modeling—Device-level inventory, support for events.

Network modeling—Support for flows (correlation, path trace).

Topology view—Technologies for which links are auto-discovered, and technologies that can be viewed in the context of topological links in a map.


Note Please refer to the Prime Network Technology Center on Cisco Developer Network (CDN) for information about technology IMOs and their attributes.
