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 that you use the Physical view to perform most
management functions within the EM. The Physical view provides a graphical representation of the
chassis that the Component Managed view does not. It should, however, be noted that you must use the
Component Managed view to see representative ATM connection objects within the EM as ATM
connection objects are not available through the Physical view.
Component Managed View
The Component Managed view displays all objects within the CiscoEMF system. For example, say you
have two different EMs installed in CiscoEMF: EM A and EM B. Information for both the EM A and
EM B display within the Component Managed view. Additionally, the Component Managed view also
displays ATM connections such as PVCs and SPVCs. Connection objects are not visible in any other
view. However, it is not recommended to work within this view unless you have multiple EMs installed.
The Component Managed view and Physical view have the same basic hierarchy structure, as shown in
the following figure. Note that the Physical view does not display logical ATM connections like the
Component Managed view does.
