Physical Object	Management Functions

Physical Interfaces—Each module (interface or port adapter) has at	Configuration
least one, if not multiple, physical interfaces (ports). The type of	Fault Management
physical interface is equivalent to the type of module the interface	Performance
resides on. Each different physical interface can support multiple	Configuration Profile
technologies (for details, see the “Physical Interfaces and Logical	Inventory
Interface Technologies” section on page 1-11). The module type
determines what technologies reside on the interfaces.

Supporting Modules—Additional subchassis cards and modules	Inventory
which include switch fabric cards (SFCs), AC or DC power supply
module(s), and fan tray modules.

The physical objects and interfaces in the preceding table are organized as follows:

•The chassis contains the modules, including supporting modules (e.g., processors, SFCs, power supplies, and fan trays);

•The modules contain the physical interfaces.

For further details on hierarchies within Cisco EMF and the EM, see the “Views” section on page 1-13.

Tip Physical objects contained within a chassis are often referred to as subchassis objects or modules.

The C8500MGR application supports three Cisco Catalyst 8500 router models:

•Cisco 8510 multiservice ATM switch router (MSR)

•Cisco 8540 MSR

•Cisco LightStream 1010 (LS1010)

The Cisco 8510 and Cisco LS1010 chassis are exactly the same. The following figure displays an example of the Cisco 8510 and Cisco LS1010 router chassis, and identifies the modules and sub–modules that you would find.
