Chapter1 Concepts EM Objects and Interfaces
Physical Objects
The following table lists all physical objects created in the EM and the management functions that can
be performed on each object.
The physical objects and interfaces in the preceding table are organized as follows:
•The chassis contains the modules, including supporting modules (e.g., processors, power supplies,
and fan trays);
•The modules contain the physical interfaces.
For further details on hierarchies within CiscoEMF and the EM, see the “Views” section on page1-13.
Tip Physical objects contained within a chassis are often referred to as subchassis objects or
modules.

Modules—Modules may be either network. There are various types
of modules within a chassis (for example, ATM, Ethernet, and
Generic). Each of these modules support a given number of
physical interfaces (ports).

Physical Interfaces—Each module (interface or port adapter) has at
least one, if not multiple, physical interfaces (ports). The type of
physical interface is equivalent to the type of module the interface
resides on. Each different physical interface can support multiple
technologies (for details, see the “Physical Interfaces and Logical
Interface Technologies” section on page1-11). The module typ e
determines what technologies reside on the interfaces.

Supporting Modules—Additional subchassis cards and modules,
including power supply module(s), processor module(s), and fan
tray modules. The EM supports the management functions to the
right on power supply and processor modules only.
