How Do I Navigate within Cisco MGM?
• Topology management
• Automatic NE memory backup, on-demand restoration
• General operation on multiple NEs
2.1.6 Paging through Data
Some Cisco MGM tables return large numbers of rows. To support large tables, Cisco MGM provides a
paging feature. If more than 1,000 rows of data are returned, data is grouped in pages of up to 1,000
rows. You can page forward and page back to view the entire set of data.
2.1.7 Finding Data
There are two methods of finding data in Cisco MGM:
• 2.1.7.1 Finding Data in the Domain Explorer, page 2-9
• 2.1.7.2 Finding Data in the Diagnostic Center, Statistics Report, Chassis View, and Configuration
Center, page 2-9
2.1.7.1 Finding Data in the Domain Explorer
In the Domain Explorer window, use the Edit > Find dialog box to search for NEs or groups. To search
for a particular NE or group, specify the NE or group name, IP address, or description. The search always
starts from the root node and returns to the root node after reaching the last node.
2.1.7.2 Finding Data in the Diagnostic Center, Statistics Report, Chassis View, and Configuration
Center
In the Diagnostics Center, Statistics Report, Chassis View, and Configuration Center, enter the object
name or the IP address in the text box at the left side of the window above the Hierarchy tree. The object
name or IP address can be entered in full or partially. Click the Find button. If found, the Hierarchy Tree
displays the node or the trunk. If there are multiple matches, click the Find Next or Find Previous
button to show the next node or trunk.
2.1.8 Navigating the Client Desktop
The client desktop provides a menu bar and a toolbar that correspond to the principal Cisco MGM
applications. You click on a particular icon to launch the corresponding application you need for element
management, monitoring, report generation, and administrative tasks. You can launch all applications
from the menu bar or you can right-click a specific object and choose the popup menu option.
All objects can be moved from one application to another.
Appendix A, “Icons and Menus” describes the icons and menus used in Cisco MGM.
