Concepts
The Cisco 10000 series router offers a single solution for leased–line, ATM, frame relay, and broadband
aggregation while providing customers with high–performance IP services, maximum platform
scalability, and high availability.
The Cisco 10000 Series Manager application supports the Cisco 10005 Edge Services Router (ESR) and
the Cisco 10008 ESR.
The following figure shows a typical Cisco 10000 deployment.

Chapter 1 Concepts Cisco EMF Software Features Cisco EMF Software Features Cisco EMF provides a flexible framework which supports a variety of EMs, making it possible to manage multiple device types within a given network on a single system. Common network management functionality provides for complete management of the logical and physical components of the network. Using a solid base, Cisco EMF provides vital core functionality which allows for optimal network management when combin

Chapter 1 Concepts EM Software Features EM Software Features Installed with Cisco EMF, the EM allows for precise management of the device(s) it supports through custom GUI windows and modeling behavior. Invoked from the Cisco EMF Map Viewer application, the EM provides Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) windows on chassis, module, interface, and connection levels as applicable. These windows provide the features which compliment the Cisco EMF capabilit

The supported Cisco 10000 series routers include a performance routing engine (PRE), a point–to–point passive and redundant backplane, and redundant interface cards. With redundant PREs, power supplies, and fans, the router is protected against any single–point of failure. The following figures display the Cisco

Chapter 1 Concepts EM Objects and Interfaces Physical Interfaces and Logical Interface Technologies Physical interfaces and logical interface technologies are modeled as objects below a parent module. As mentioned before, the type of module characterizes the type of interface. Interface types further break down into two categories, physical interfaces and logical interface technologies. Physical interfaces are the ports which exist on line cards. This EM supports the following physical

Chapter 1 Concepts Views Views Views are accessible by clicking the Viewer icon on the Cisco EMF launchpad. These views appear in the frame at the left of the window when you open the Map Viewer window (see the following figure for an example). Views model hierarchical relationships between objects, both physical and logical. Objects are organized into different views and can exist in multiple views simultaneously by reference. Each object can have a number of parent and child objects

Chapter 1 Concepts Views You may or may not see all of these views using this EM (exceptions noted). These views all exist within EMs, however they are not all implemented. If multiple EMs are co–resident, the applicable views are displayed. As the following sections detail, the views you will use to perform the majority of the EM capabilities are the Physical and Component Managed views. Both are similar in structure and allow you to initiate the EM windows. However it is recommended

Chapter 1 Concepts Object States Object States Object states reflect the life cycle of an object. Whatever stage the object is in at any given time displays in the state type. The state of an object can change frequently, depending upon what actions take place on the object. All objects within the EM are in a specific state which appears at the bottom left corner of each FCAPS window. The following figure highlights an object’s state.

Chapter 1 Concepts Object States Decommissioned State The decommissioned state indicates that an object is not managed. When you manually deploy an object, the object is normally put into the decommissioned state. Tip Manually deployed objects are initially decomissioned so you have the option of managing the object. If you want to manage the object, you must first commission the object. The following actions occur on a decommissioned object: � Active management stops � All sub objects

Chapter 1 Concepts Object States Lost Comms The lost comms (lost communications) state indicates that the object is not responding to heartbeat polling. The EM can apply this state to a chassis, module, or interface. When an object is in the lost comms state, heartbeat polling occurs on the object. When the object responds to heartbeat polling, it moves out of the lost comms state. For example, say an ATM module in the EM was predeployed. When you perform device synchronization (commi

To rectify this problem, you must either delete the predeployed chassis and deploy the correct one, or fix the IP address by re–entering the correct one in the chassis Management Information window.

Module preprovisioning essentially serves as a way to establish place holders for anticipated or expected hardware modules. Using the EM, mo
