Introduction

Introduction
End to End Trail Management is only supported with IP-10G Series
When STM-1 Line interface is used to connect 2, the user must add neighboring elements
in the IP tables of each element participating in the trail.
Available configuration:
End to End Unprotected Trail
SNCP Protected Trail
SNCP Dual-Ended Trail

Creating Unprotected Trails in 1+1 systems

In the case of protection for any two consecutive slots (such as 1-2, 3-4, 5-6), PolyView
will display the main IP of the device (or the name), and instead of one of the slots
(presented in the past), it will present the slot as 1-2, 3-4, or 5-6.
The example window above shows a trail that starts (end point 1) at IP 172.24.30.205,
whereby both slots 1 and 2 are protected, and ends at (end point 2) IP 172.24.30.206,
whereby slots 5-6 are protected as well.

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 subgroups, the original element will be retained, and the discovered one will not
be added.

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

Note about IP Addresses for FibeAir IP-10 G-Series:
While each p
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,
p

behalf of the slot-1 IP address

parameters for the element, click the

Exporting Topology
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
sub tree root
before the export.
For an export operation, you
can select the file you want to
export the data to,
to and the data
types you want to export.

Importing Topology
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

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.
