Add Network Service Assurance operations

The following sections detail how to add each type of operation VoIP and Network Quality Manager supports. Complete the associated procedures to start monitoring your Network Service Assurance operations.

You can either create new Network Service Assurance operations and add them to your devices, or you can add operations existing on your devices to VNQM.

• When VoIP and Network Quality Manager creates Network Service Assurance operations on your network devices, the numbers used to identify the operations start at 40000. This way you can easily identify the operations created by VoIP and Network Quality Manager.
• If there are operations defined on your devices, it is strongly recommended that you back up your device settings before you start adding new operations.

The following sections describe the process of adding individual operations to VNQM in detail:

• Add DNS Network Service Assurance operations to devices

To monitor IP SLA operations on your Nexus nodes, you must configure the IP SLA operation directly on your Nexus device and then discover existing operation on it. Please note, that adding CLI credentials is necessary for Nexus devices.
