Cisco Prime Network 3.8 Release Notes
OL-24477-01
  Introduction
Introduction
Cisco Prime Network 3.8 provides service providers and other network operators with a comprehensive 
assurance and device management solution for IP next-generation networks (NGNs). It is offered as a 
standalone and as a fully integrated component of the Cisco Prime Central suite for customers needing 
end-to-end network management lifecycle capabilities.
Users can easily discover network elements (NEs), administer them, diagnose problems, and restore 
changed configurations quickly. These monitoring, validating, troubleshooting, and administration tasks 
can be accomplished using the Prime Network GUI client applications:
Prime Network Vision—Used to visualize the network through network and service maps, and to 
view device physical and logical inventories and connectivity. Prime Network Vision is also used to 
launch other clients and tools, such as Prime Network Change and Configuration Management, 
Activation, Command Builder, and Soft Properties.
Prime Network Events—Used to browse historical events archived by Prime Network.
Prime Network Administration—Used to manage the Prime Network platform.
The names of the clients have changed since the last release (Cisco ANA 3.7.3). The following table 
provides the mapping between the Prime Network 3.8 GUI clients and the Cisco ANA 3.7.x GUI clients.
