Network Element Polling With Cisco Active Network Abstraction
Overview Cisco Active Network Abstraction (ANA) is an extensible and scalable platform and product suite that resides between the network elements and OSS management applications and provides unified end-to-end network and service management for service provider and large enterprise networks. Cisco ANA is part of the next-generation management system for the Cisco IP NGN architecture. This paper describes how Cisco ANA optimizes the way in which management data is obtained from network devices. Extensive flexibility and configurability, in addition to smart and adaptive polling mechanisms, help ensure that only required data is polled, at an optimal frequency for the needs of accuracy, while not affecting devices and minimizing the management protocol overhead.
