Users may add elements using these options:



Import data (topology information was previously stored on external drive)

Network Auto Discovery (executing configurable filters)

Manual operation (will be explained later)

The duration of the discovery process depends on the network size and the
connection speed. The time may vary from several minutes to several hours.

Newly discovered elements will be added to the group you selected.

If a discovered element already exists in the target group or in one of its sub-
groups, the original element will be retained, and the discovered one will not
be added.

During the process, PolyView will also search for connectivity between
elements.

If a connection between elements is found, a link will automatically be
generated for them and will appear in the map.

If more than two elements are found to be linked, PolyView will create a sub-
group for them, and all the linked elements will be moved to that sub-group.

When Auto Discovery completes, your navigation tree should display your

allocated the elements
accordingly
An icon representing a
network element will
appear on the map with
the element's name & IP
address
The element will also appear in the
navigation tree. In the following
example, several elements were
auto-discovered.

Note that the color of the element's icon represents the level of its most severe
alarm.

For example, green means that the element is operating with no alarms; light red means that the
element is operating with one or more major alarms.

In the element list on the left side of the CeraMap window, the color of the icons will also reflect their
alarm status. The color of upper level groups and the root level will always be the color of the element
in the list with the most severe alarm.

Note about IP Addresses for FibeAir IP-10 G-Series:

While each protected IP-10 G-Series
network element represents two
IP addresses, in PolyView each one is
displayed and treated as one IP address,
of slot 1

Due to this convention, all NMS
functionality related to this protected
node (reports, alarms, etc.) is done on
behalf of the slot-1 IP address


If you want to change the default SNMP
parameters for the element, click the
SNMP tab and set the parameter
values you want

Exporting Topology
20
You can export CeraMap data (topology and trigger information) to an external
file by selecting File, Export Data.

After you export CeraMap data, the exported file can be imported back into PolyView (for example,
after a server upgrade), or to another PolyView server.




You can export an entire tree
if you select the root element
and then select File & Export
Data.
Using the same method, you
can export a single sub-tree,
by selecting the sub-tree root
before the export.

For an export operation, you
can select the file you want to
export the data to, and the data
types you want to export.

Importing Topology
21
The import will be done under the currently selected group.

Select the file to import, which data types you want to import from the file,
and whether or not to update duplicated items.






Updating duplicated items means that when
you import an entity that already exists
(a network element with the same IP, or a
group with the same name), you can request
that PolyView updates the element attributes
from the imported file (for example, an element's
name).

Adding image files to database
22
If you wish to use an icon, image, map or symbol that do not exist in the PV
servers database, you may install your own files


1. Make sure to use GIF or JPG formats

2. File names and subfolder names cannot include spaces. Use underscores (_) instead.

3. Only PV server needs to be installed with new files. No need to install the files on the clients.
