AlliedView NMS Administration Guide (Controlling and Provisioning Network Devices)
5. Controlling and Provisioning Network Devices
5.1 Overview
In providing network management functions, the AlliedView NMS can provision a single device. However, in many cases a
set of devices should be provisioned together, and the AlliedView NMS provides a GUI that allows the administrator to create
a set of devices and then use wizards that allow provisioning across that set of devices.Figure 5-1 highlights the various
options that appear when choosing a device.
Note: When more than one device is selected (by dragging or using the Shift key), only those operations that can
be performed on more than one device are active. This is further controlled by whether the devices are
from the same or different families.
FIGURE 5-1 Provisioning Menu - Options for a Single Device
The following subsections go through all of the menu options available for the AT Network Elements. Separate subsections
highlight the provisioning tasks.
Use the following table to locate the task you wish to perform. If you are using AlliedView NMS, use the screen or form name
you are seeing to locate the relevant section.
Note: The AlliedView NMS supports all cards that can be configured with the various CFC cards, and this is
reflected in the chassis view as well as the various types of management. Refer to the Feature Guide for
the available CFC cards and the products they support.
