CHAPTER 3
Deploying and Discovering Objects
The first step toward managing a router is to deploy or predeploy the physical objects that you want to
manage. Deploying a physical object creates a representative object in Cisco EMF and, as a result, makes
the EM aware of the physical object’s presence.
If all or most of your chassis objects are physically present and if you have a large amount of objects to
deploy, you might want to automate these processes by using auto discovery. For example

Chapter 3 Deploying and Discovering Objects Automatic Discovery Automatic Discovery Objects which are physically present in the network can be automatically discovered on the chassis and subchassis levels. You can choose to use the Cisco EMF Auto Discovery tool to detect devices based on IP and/or SNMP data. This capability applies to the chassis only. Similarly, modules automatically discover as a part of subchassis discovery and regular heartbeat polling. The following sections descr

Chapter 3 Deploying and Discovering Objects Automatic Discovery Following chassis auto–discovery, you must manually enter the appropriate IOS password and commission the chassis to fully manage the device, including enabling automatic module discovery. For information, see the “Managing Username and Passwords” section on page 5-4 and the “Commissioning Chassis” section on page 3-23 or on page 5-9.

It would be named WIC–2T–1–1 if it were in slot 1 subslot 1. The interfaces on a network module which contains subslots, such as the NM–2FE2W module, follows two different interface naming conventions. If the NM–2FE2W is in slot 1 (i.e., NM–2FE2W–1), the interfaces directl

Chapter 3 Deploying and Discovering Objects Pre–deployment Pre–deployment EM chassis objects can be manually pre–deployed before the equipment arrives on–site. Pre deployment is useful if, for example, you know that you will be receiving a certain device, you can manually deploy the specific chassis before it is actually present. Pre–deployment can save future time and effort. When the device becomes available in the network, you must commission the chassis in order for the EM to detec

Chapter 3 Deploying and Discovering Objects Deployment Deploying Generic Objects Some generic objects are technology specific (e.g., IP Device, SNMP Agent, SNMP MIB–2 Agent, SNMP Proxied Agent), while others are not (e.g., region, site, bay). Non–technology specific generic objects can be used to organize the components of your network when deployed beforehand. For example, you may ultimately choose to organize a number of bays within a generic region object, a number of sites within
