What can I see in the NE Inventory view?

NE child objects

The NE Inventory view shows a tree structure of individual inventory objects (child objects). Object names and basic administrative and operational state information are displayed. The color of an inventory object indicates its state.

Note: The inventory details available in NSP depend on the adaptors installed and managed NE configuration.

NE inventory information is grouped by type of object:

Available equipment objects

The following object types are supported in the Equipment Group. The hierarchy depends on the NE type.

  • Shelf

  • Card

  • Port

  • Module

  • Fan

  • Power Supply

  • Radio

  • Radio Folder

  • Extended Services Appliance

  • VM (virtual machine)

Available logical objects

The following object types are supported in the Logical Group:

Filtering object lists

At the top of the NE Inventory view, choose Equipment type filters or Logical type filters, click png12.png (Add filter) to choose filter criteria, and click APPLY FILTERS. When a filter is applied, objects that don’t match the filter are dimmed.

Note: If you filter on Ports, virtual ports are included in the results if present.

You can apply type filters, state filters, or a combination, for example, cards with operational state enabled.

Equipment type filters

The following equipment type filters are supported:

Choose an equipment type from the drop-down list. The default filtering logic is All, for example, all shelves. Click on a type to refine the filter, for example, to add a number.

Logical type filters

The following logical type filters are supported. Choose a type filter and click png12.png (Add filter) again to add a sub-type filter, for example, to filter by interface, choose Router, add another filter, and choose Interface. Click on a type or sub-type to refine the filter, for example, to add a number.

State filters

You can add filters for Operational State, Administrative State, and, for ports, Configuration Deployment Status. Add a type filter, then choose a state from the drop-down list. Available criteria depends on the filter types.

Expanding object lists

In the equipment inventory tree, you can select an inventory object and click png1.png to open the tree item actions menu.

From the Equipment Group object, you can expand or export all objects in the equipment group:

From any other equipment object, Expand all shows all child objects of the selected object.

Accessing related views

Select an inventory object and click png1.png to open the tree item actions menu. Options in the tree item actions menu depend on the object. The following table lists the commands available for various objects, and the NSP view that opens for each command.
