Chapter 4 Deploying the C65/76M Deployment and Commissioning Process Predeployment This deployment option is used to deploy the Catalyst 6000 family switch or Cisco 7600 series Internet Router into CEMF before it has been attached to the network. After an object has been predeployed, CEMF keeps the object in a decommissioned state until the device corresponding to the object is added to the network. After the switch is brought on-line, the predeployed object will be commissioned automatically. The following objects can be predeployed: • Network Element, Software and Chassis • Supervisor Modules • Ethernet Modules • Switch Fabric Modules • FlexWAN Modules • Port Adapter • Content Switching Module • EtherChannel Modules The remaining C65/76M objects are automatically discovered when the Network Element object is commissioned. Network Element, Software, and Chassis Object Predeployment To manually predeploy the Network Element, Software, and Chassis C65/76M objects, select the pop-up menu item, Deployment > Deploy Manager, from the appropriate container. The following example describes how to manually predeploy a Catalyst 6500 series switch. To manually predeploy other devices, use the pop-up menu from the other manager containers. Choose Deployment > Deploy Catalyst 6500 Manager from the pop-up menu. This pop-up menu item, shown in Figure 4-17, is available from the Site level in the Physical container and at the top level of the Catalyst 6500 Manager container.
