3. Right-click to display the menu and select Move AVM. The Move to
dialog box is displayed.
The Move to dialog box displays a tree-and-branch representation of the
selected Sheer DNA Server and its Units, excluding the Sheer DNA Unit
in which the AVM is currently located. The highest level of the tree
displays the Sheer DNA Server. The branches can be expanded and
collapsed in order to display and hide information.
4. Browse to and select the Sheer DNA Unit (branch) where you want to
move the AVM(s).
5. Click OK. The AVM(s) is moved and now appears beneath the selected
Sheer DNA Unit.
For information about moving VNEs, refer to page 105.
6.7 VNEs Overview
A Virtual Network Element (VNE) is designated by its leading IP address
and corresponds to a single Network Element (NE). Typically a Network
Element has only one IP address that is used for management. For such
devices the leading IP address is the single IP address configured for this
device.
In cases where a NE has multiple IP addresses, the operator must choose one
of these IP addresses to be used as a leading IP address. The leading IP
address serves as an identifier of the VNE that corresponds to the NE and is
displayed wherever the IP address of the Network Element is required.
Note: Two VNEs cannot monitor the same Network Element.
Sheer DNA Manage enables the user to create VNEs (replicas of devices),
for example, by entering the IP address, SNMP and polling rate information
and so on. This is called Element Management.
