5.2.3 Notes on Chassis View
Following are device-specific notes on the chassis view:
• 9000 devices
• Displaying port status/alarms in the Chassis View is supported.
• Filler plates are included in the chassis view.
• Support the FAN8 module in the 9700. This module is always displayed (even if removed for maintenance). The
states of the Pull, Fault and Insrv LED components on the Fan module in Chassis View reflect those of the LEDs on
the physical device.
• The “Pull” LED appears gray for a pre-provisioned (i.e. not present) board.
• When the mouse is over a card, a tool tip indicates the Status (Online, Not Installed etc) of that card.
• The “Unknown Board” image for the iMAP devices now represents either a board which is not supported by the
NMS, or a board which is not recognized by the device.
• A pre-provisioned card in the Chassis View is distinguishable from a physically present card by the following visual
cues.
- The yellow “fault” LED is lit and the associated fault is “Card Not Present” viewable by moving the mouse over the
LED image.
- The “Pull” and “Insrv” LEDs are gray. In a physical card, one or the other of these will be on at all times.
- The status of the card is “Not Installed”, viewable by moving the mouse over the card background.
• AT-8324
• The Chassis View for the AT-8324 shows the chassis as a module; if multiple AT-8324s are stacked then they will all
be displayed in one dialog, as a stack.
• The following uplink boards are supported in Chassis View:, AT-A15/LX, AT-A15/SX, AT-A16, AT-A17, AT-A17/
SM15, AT-A18, AT-A19.
• Fault LED on the main chassis is not monitored.
• The “master” LED on the main chassis is not monitored.
• Displaying port alarms in the Chassis View is currently not supported.
• AT-AR7xx
• The 4 ports on the AR026 board are pure switch ports. They multiplex into one internal ETH port. The Link LED dis-
played on the AR026 in Chassis View, shows the operational state of the internal port. Since these switch ports do not
map to individual interfaces, they cannot be managed by the NMS.
5.3 Provisioning a Device
5.3.1 Overview of the Provisioning Interface
When selecting a device or set of devices for an application, the user must choose the application as well as the specific
devices that are to share that application. Following is an example walkthrough of how to select the set of devices.
When selecting the provisioning option, the user must select one of the applications. The following figure shows what
appears after right clicking on the device and selecting Provision - > Backup/Restore
Note: The user can select more than one device in the Physical View, right click and select the Application, and
data will automatically be retrieved for those devices and displayed.
Note: When using the provisioning feature, the AlliedView NMS is aware of how many devices have been
selected for each application. When the user goes from one application to another, the original
