Component Change Report
Use the Capacity Planning tool to generate a report on field replaceable/upgradeable components (FRUs) in
your network devices that have changed over time. Using the Component Change report, you can easily
monitor changes made to your network and verify network upgrades.
Report results can be exported as an HTML file or as a delimited text file. In addition, Capacity Planning
reports can be saved to use again at a later time, and they can also be scheduled to run at specified intervals
with report results sent out via a notification e−mail.
Flow
The flow chart below shows the sequence of windows that you will encounter when you create a Component
Change report using the Capacity Planning tool. As you progress through the steps of creating a report, the
tool's left panel shows you a summary of your selections. You can click on the bold headings in this panel to
navigate backward or forward between steps allowing you to change your report parameters. The summary
information associated with each step appears in plain typeface beneath each step heading.
Click on blocks in the flow chart for more information about a specific window.
Select Report Window
Use this window to select either a report template or a saved report as your report type. Report templates are
based on common network capacity planning questions. After you have created a report using one of the
templates, you can save it (as a Saved Report) to use again at a later time. To create your Component Change
report, select the "What installed components (FRUs) have changed over time" report template.
