Creating Target Devices and Assigning Roles (N-PE or U-PE)
Every network element that ISC manages must be defined as a device in the system. An element is any
device from which ISC can collect information. In most cases, devices are Cisco IOS routers that
function as N-PE, U-PE, or P. For detailed steps to create devices, see the
Cisco IP Solution Center
Infrastructure Reference, 6.0.
