Figure3-4 Deployment Process Workflow
1. The first deployment stage is to manually deploy a Generic (Site) object. A Site object can be looked
upon as a container object where you can deploy further objects that represent the
Cisco 12000/10720 Router chassis, line cards and interfaces contained within the chassis. See
“Manually Deploying a Generic Site Object” section on page3-10 for further details.
2. The second deployment stage is at the chassis level. The Cisco12000/10720 Router chassis can be
auto discovered or manually deployed. See “IP Auto Discovery of the Cisco Chassis” section on
page 3-19 or the “Manually Deploying a Cisco 12000/10720 Chassis” section on page3-20 for
further details.
Note You can pre-deploy objects (that is, manually predeploy objects) before the Cisco hardware
arrives on-site. See “Pre-deployment” section on page3-58 for further details.
3. The third deployment stage is at subchassis level. This involves either subchassis discovery or
deploying subchassis objects (modules) manually. See “Commissioning and Subchassis Discovery”
section on page 3-26 or the “Manually Deploying Modules” section on page 3-30 for further details.
Manually Deploying a Generic Site Object
Generic objects are non-technology specific objects. When deploying a generic object, the information
you are prompted to provide differs according to the type and number of generic objects you are
deploying.
Table 3 -1 displays a list of generic objects that can be deployed using Cisco 12000/10720 Router
Manager.
