6.1.19 Entity Association
The Entity Association topology represents a link between two related entities located in
two different VNEs representing physical or virtual devices. In the VNE model, the end
points of the link can be any component/IMO. In Prime Network 4.0, it is used to connect
the physical and virtual entities as listed below:
two different VNEs representing physical or virtual devices. In the VNE model, the end
points of the link can be any component/IMO. In Prime Network 4.0, it is used to connect
the physical and virtual entities as listed below:
Physical server (IServer IMO) & Virtual Device running on this server
(IManagedElement IMO). Virtual devices include CSR1000v, Nexus1000v, VSG, etc.
(IManagedElement IMO). Virtual devices include CSR1000v, Nexus1000v, VSG, etc.
Physical server (IServer IMO) & Host (IHost under virtualization inventory)
Virtual Machine (IVirtualMachine IMO) & Virtual Device (IManagedElement IMO)
Note: In the above list, only item#1 will be shown as external link in the topology or
device map view. Item #2 & 3 are just hyperlink between components across VNEs
and will not be visible in the topology view

6.2 Discovery Techniques
Discovery takes place in two phases:
1. Discovery of existing links.
2. Verification that the link still exists (for each discovered link).
2. Verification that the link still exists (for each discovered link).
This following discovery techniques are used by Prime Network:
