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. You can access EM objects by navigating through one of the views to find specific objects by expanding the text. Click on the plus sign (+) next to any object to expand the view. A minus sign (–) next to an object indicates there are no more levels to expand; you may, however, click on a minus sign (–) to collapse the view to the level of the specific object as necessary. Each view represents a different way of containing and grouping objects.

The EM adds specific views to the standard views supplied by Cisco EMF. The standard Cisco EMF views are the Physical and Network views.

Note For further information on views, see the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide Release 3.2.

Figure 1-7 EM Views

The number in parenthesis next to a view indicates how many top–level objects are contained within the view. Notice that the VLAN view does not display a number beside the view name. In addition to the minus sign beside the view name, the absence of a number is a indicator that there are no objects beneath it.

The Views section covers the following areas:

Component Managed View

Layer 3 QoS View
