6.21 Diagnostic Audit
The NMS provides the capability to run diagnostic audits on certain network entities. Currently, the entities that can be
audited are:
• Network VLANs
• CES Circuits
Audits are started from the “Diagnostic Audit Reporting” window, which can be launched from various menus within the
NMS. The appropriate Audit Entity IDs will appear in the window, based on the menu from which it was launched.
Running an audit will check the configuration of the Audit Entity to determine potential problems with that entity’s
configuration, and generate a report detailing those identified problems. The problems are categorized as follows:
• Errors - These are problems in the configuration that are incorrect and can cause the failure of features.
• Warnings - These are for potential problems that may not be what the user intended
• Informational - These generally include parameters collected from the audit that provide the user with a snapshot of the
current configuration.
6.21.1 Network VLANs
The sample Diagnostic Audit screen below was launched from the background menu on the VLAN Map associated with
Network VLAN ID “Vlan[52]”. In this example, only the Errors and Warnings categories have been selected for the report.
