Cisco Cisco Prime Network 3.10 Documentation Roadmaps

Introduction to the Prime Network Vision and Events GUI clients.

Viewing network element physical and logical inventories, network topologies, and network 
and service maps.

Monitoring and viewing network technologies and configurations, with explanations of the 
data Prime Network provides.

Viewing, tracking, and resolving fault trends using the reporting, fault management, and 
path-tracing capabilities of Prime Network.

Using Prime Network Change and Configuration Management to manage software and 
device configuration changes made to network devices.

Using command scripts that are packaged with Prime Network. 

Introduction to the Prime Network Administration GUI client.

Setting up and managing the server, units, AVMs; and adding devices by creating and 
managing VNEs. Includes setting up and managing unit and process redundancy.

Managing the database, including adjusting data purging settings.

Controlling user authentication and authorization with user accounts and device scopes.

Setting up and controlling event monitoring, including configuring trap and e-mail 
notifications.

Managing workflows, activations, and command scripts.

Advanced VNE tasks: Adjusting polling, changing settings that determine device 
reachability, controlling data collectors and command priorities, and creating cloud VNEs 
for unmanaged network segments.

Using and adjusting the backup and restore mechanism.

System security basics.

Reference material including device prerequisites, VNE properties, and system log files.

Extending the information model by:

Creating soft properties to display additional network element property information in 
the GUI clients.

Adding support for new event types, software versions, and models using the VNE 
Customization Builder (VCB).

Extending device configuration capabilities by creating custom command scripts with 
Command Builder, using the Workflow Editor to create workflows that execute sequences 
of tasks, and adding activation scripts to the GUI client using the Activation Wizard Builder.

Extending and configuring fault management by adding support for unsupported traps and 
custom syslogs, changing event settings (such as event severity), and using Soft Properties 
to create new threshold-crossing alarms.

Extending the GUI clients by adding launch points for external applications.
