2.1.1.3 Network Element Properties
The Network Element Properties pane displays information about the NE that is currently selected in the
tree. An NE represents a Cisco MGX 8880 or a Cisco MGX 8850.
The same NE can have multiple instances in the tree. The contents of all instances of the same NE are
always the same. Any changes to one NE instance are reflected in all instances of that NE. Regardless
of the number of instances an NE has in the tree, you can delete one or all instances of that NE. When
the final instance of an NE is deleted, the deleted NE moves to the Deleted NEs group.
The Network Element Properties panes for most NEs have the following tabs: Status, Identification, and
NE Authentication.
2.1.1.3.1 Status Tab
Table 2-5 describes the Status tab fields.
