Chapter 4 Deploying the C65/76M Managing a Catalyst 6000 Family Switch or a Cisco 7600 Series Internet Router Commissioning Objects Commissioning is the action required to notify CEMF to start actively monitoring the object. Only the following C65/76M objects can be commissioned and decommissioned by the user: • Network Element • Supervisor Module • Ethernet Module • Switch Fabric Module • FlexWAN Module • Content Switching Module • Port Adapter • OSM Module When applied to these objects, the commissioning process is propagated down to all the object's children. For example, if the Network Element object is commissioned, all the C65/76M objects are also commissioned. If only a Supervisor Module object is commissioned, then its Ethernet Interface objects are also commissioned. When the Network Element object is commissioned, a subchassis discovery is started to determine the contents of the switch. If objects on the switch are discovered that do not currently exist in CEMF, then these objects are automatically created and populated. For example, an Ethernet module would be automatically populated with the appropriate number of interfaces when it is discovered. If the object already exists in CEMF, then a type match is made against the CEMF object and the one found during discovery. If a mismatch is found, the object is placed into the Mismatched state and an error is generated. If there is no mismatch, then the object is commissioned successfully and CEMF begins to monitor it. Figure 4-1 shows the CEMF Map Viewer application with the C65/76M software installed. When an object is deployed in CEMF, the objects are automatically added to the Network, Physical, and the appropriate Manager Views. In this example, the Network Element objects are called "may" and "morar," the Chassis objects are called "may-Chassis" and "morar-Chassis," and the Software objects are called "may-Software" and "morar-Software." Under the Network container, the Network Element objects are labelled by their IP addresses and added to the group representing the subnet that they belong to (192.168.12.0). Under the Physical container, the Network Element and Chassis objects are available. Note The Software objects are available only under the Catalyst6000Manager, Catalyst6500Manager, and Cisco7600Manager containment views. Cisco 6500/7600 Series Manager User Guide 4-3
