When the MapViewer application is launched, a window appears corresponding to the highlighted map icon in the hierarchy pane.
Chapter 3 Getting Started Starting Cisco EMF and Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Notification Profiles An important aspect of a monitoring system which captures and reacts to events on the network is when and how a network operator is informed of these events. The Event Manager uses notifications for this.
Chapter 3 Getting Started Deployment PreFilter Event pre-filtering allows any event generated by the network which matches the criteria established in the filter to be “filtered out”, and thus not saved into the database. Pre-filtering offers you the capability to eliminate unwanted or undesired events from entering the management system altogether. Pre-filtering is managed through the PreFilter application or from the Event Browser.
Chapter 3 Getting Started Deployment You can also deploy either of the following logical objects: Tip • SVC—See “Deploying an SVC Object” section on page 12-22 • PVC—See “Deploying a PVC Object” section on page 12-18 • VLAN Domain, VLAN and VLAN sub-interface—See “Deploying VLAN objects” section on page 13-4 WRED (Weighted Random Early Detection) and CAR (Committed Access Rate) objects are not created using the deployment wizard.

Chapter 3 Getting Started Deployment Commissioning and Subchassis Discovery After you deploy a chassis, the next step in creating a manageable system is to commission the chassis (which begins the process of subchassis discovery). Figure 3-21 shows a Cisco 12008 chassis map in the Physical view before subchassis discovery. Subchassis discovery discovers all physical objects (that is, modules and interfaces) within the chassis and places them onto the chassis map.
Chapter 3 Getting Started Deployment Because the chassis is the highest-level object, all objects under the chassis are commissioned as well when you commission the chassis. One level down, if you commission a GRP, you commission all physical objects underneath that level. If you commission a line card, you commission all interfaces on that line card, and so on. However, note that before you can commission any module within a chassis, the chassis object itself must be commissioned.
Chapter 3 Getting Started Deployment Figure 3-22 Chassis Configuration Window Step 2 Choose the Chassis you want to commission from the list box at left of the window. Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager allows you to select and commission multiple chassis simultaneously. Note Step 3 Configure the parameters displayed on the Configuration and Additional Description tabs, as required.
Chapter 3 Getting Started Deployment The chassis and all objects contained within are commissioned. A status report appears in the Commission Status area displaying whether the commission action succeeded or failed. Figure 3-23 shows a Cisco 12008 chassis map in the Physical view after successful subchassis discovery. Modules and interfaces are automatically deployed within the chassis and enter the commissioned state. However, icons representing the physical objects appear in the Component Managed view.
Chapter 3 Getting Started Deployment Decommissioning a Chassis Decommissioning a chassis, decommissions all the objects within the chassis, and active management (such as polling) stops on the chassis and on all objects within the chassis. To decommission a chassis, proceed as follows: Step 1 Right click on the chassis you want to decommission, then choose Cisco 12000/10720 Manager>Configuration>Chassis>Configuration. The Chassis Configuration window appears (see Figure 3-22).
Chapter 3 Getting Started Deployment User Named vs. Auto Named Module Deployment When you deploy a module, you have two initial options: • To deploy an auto-named module • To deploy a user-named module The user-named option allows you to name the module as you like. For example, if you have a specific naming scheme you want to use, then select the user-named option. The auto-named option assigns an auto-generated name to the module, with the slot number appended to the name.
Chapter 3 Getting Started Deployment Figure 3-24 Deployment Wizard—Templates Step 2 Choose one of the Template Choices from the list displayed (either auto-named or user-named deployment). Ensure that your choice is highlighted before continuing. See “User Named vs. Auto Named Module Deployment” section on page 3-31 for further information on auto vs. user named deployment. Step 3 Click Forward. The Deployment Wizard - Object Parameters window appears. Cisco 12000/10700 v3.1.
