Cisco 6500/7600 Series Manager Software Overview The Cisco 6500/7600 Series Manager (C65/76M) software adds custom windows and modeling behavior to the standard CEMF system to provide management of the Catalyst 6000 family switches and Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers. The software helps network administrators manage Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers by eliminating the need to have Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and a detailed knowledge of the Cisco IOS or Catalyst OS required commands. The software also helps simplify the deployment process for the Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers. Multiple Element Managers can be installed onto a single CEMF server, which allows multidevice and multivendor management from a single system.
