Network Infrastructure Manager Overview

Network Provision View

Figure 3-5: NIM Network Provision View
The Network Provision view is used to stage changes to your network before actually
committing them to your devices. From this view, you build configurations for new
devices, modify configurations for existing devices, and view the current configurations
of existing devices. Once you have made changes, you will either commit the changes
to the network, save the changes without affecting the network, or throw away the
changes by reverting to the current server state.
Saved changes are not saved on the local client host, but on the ISM Provision server, so
they are accessible from other NIM clients, and can be viewed and reviewed by other
NIM users. Saved changes can also be scheduled to be committed to your network at a
later time.
Committed changes are also saved on the ISM Provision server, but they are also
pushed out to your network devices. Committed changes become part of the current
configurations of your devices.
