Chapter 4 Deploying the C65/76M Deployment and Commissioning Process Deployment and Commissioning Process There are three methods that can be used to enable CEMF to monitor a Catalyst 6000 family switch or a Cisco 7600 series Internet Router: • IP Auto Discovery This method should be used to deploy a large number of devices that are currently connected to the network. This method automatically deploys the Network Element and Software objects for each Catalyst 6000 family switch or Cisco 7600 series Internet Router discovered. • Manual deployment This method should be used if a small number of devices that are connected to the network need to be deployed. This method will deploy the Network Element and Software objects for the Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers specified. • Predeployment This method should be used to predeploy a device that is not connected to the network. The following objects can be predeployed: - Network Element and Software - Chassis - Supervisor Modules - Ethernet Modules - Switch Fabric Modules - FlexWAN Modules - Port Adapters - OSM Modules The remaining C65/76M objects are automatically discovered when the Network Element object is commissioned. IP Auto Discovery The CEMF Auto Discovery application is used to search an existing network. The network is examined for IP and SNMP devices. An object is created for each new device discovered. The IP discovery window can be launched from either the Discovery icon from the CEMF Launchpad (Figure 3-2) or from the Deployment/Auto Discovery... pop-up menu item on a selected object as shown in Figure 4-2.
