Network Reports
Cisco ONP provides network reports, which are listed under the report availability tabs. Reports are available depending on whether a network is analyzed, or not. Reports are also available in site properties after analyzing the network.
Cisco ONP provides the following reports:
-
Dashboard
-
Elements
-
Map
-
BOM
-
Layout

Results
The Cisco ONP home page has multiple tabs to access the reports of the analyzed network. You can also view the reports for specific site, fiber, or wave properties by clicking the respective report in the Network Tree pane.
From Release 5.1, a search box is introduced in the BOM and Results tab. You can use the search box in the BOM, Optical Report, Traffic Report, and Cabling Report tabs to search for any specific site, fiber, or wave in the reports.
From Release 24.3.1, the Reports tabs that you open, do not refresh when you toggle between tabs.
View Reports in the Dashboard Tab
The Dashboard tab provides the total count of sites, fibers, SRLGs, services, waves/media channels/circuits, and messages that exist in the network.
View Reports in the Elements Tab
The Elements tab provides detailed reports of the network elements and messages.
