Chapter 3 Getting Started

Deployment

PreFilter

Event pre-filtering allows any event generated by the network which matches the criteria established in the filter to be “filtered out”, and thus not saved into the database.

Pre-filtering offers you the capability to eliminate unwanted or undesired events from entering the management system altogether. Pre-filtering is managed through the PreFilter application or from the Event Browser. The PreFilter application is launched via the PreFilter icon on the Launchpad.

The PreFilter manager window displays, listing each of the pre-filters established, in the order in which they are to be processed (from top to bottom).

Refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide Release 3.2 for further details on the PreFilter application.

Quitting a Cisco EMF User Session

To quit the current Cisco EMF session, proceed as follows:

Step 1 Choose File > Quit. You see the question Do you wish to quit the Cisco EMF Manager System?.

Step 2 Click Yes to quit the session (all active applications are closed and the session terminates) or click No to return to the current Cisco EMF session.

Deployment

The first step toward managing a Cisco 12000/10720 Router is to deploy or pre-deploy the physical objects that you want to manage. Deploying a physical object creates a representative object in Cisco EMF and as a result, makes the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager application aware of the physical object’s presence.

Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager objects can be discovered automatically or deployed manually. For example, to deploy a chassis, you can use auto discovery or you can manually deploy the chassis. If you wish to deploy objects under the chassis, you can use subchassis discovery or manually deploy each object (interfaces are automatically created when you deploy each line card).

If all or most of your chassis objects are physically present and if you have a large amount of objects to deploy, you might want to automate these processes by using auto discovery. For example, if Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager is installed into an existing network of Cisco 12000/10720 Routers, auto discovery can dramatically reduce the amount of operator input required. If you only want to deploy a few objects or if many of your objects are not yet physically present, you might want to deploy manually.

Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager objects can be manually pre-deployed before the hardware arrives on-site. See “Pre-deployment” section on page 3-58for further details.

The following supporting modules can be deployed using subchassis discovery only, no manual deployment is available for these modules:

AC or DC power supply card

Fan tray module

Blower module

12000, 10720 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in the networking industry, providing robust solutions designed to meet diverse networking needs. Two notable products in their router lineup are the Cisco 10720 and the Cisco 12000 series. Both of these routers are designed for high-performance environments, catering to service providers and large enterprises.

The Cisco 10720 is a versatile edge router designed primarily for broadband and multiservice applications. A key characteristic of the 10720 is its ability to support various protocols, including IP, MPLS, and Ethernet, facilitating seamless integration into existing networks. It can handle multiple services concurrently, such as voice, video, and data, making it an ideal choice for service providers looking to offer bundled services to their customers.

One of the main features of the Cisco 10720 is its modular architecture, which allows for scalability and flexibility. Network operators can tailor the configurations to their specific requirements by adding or upgrading modules as needed. The 10720 also supports Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they require, ultimately enhancing user experience.

On the other hand, the Cisco 12000 series, including models like the 12006 and 12008, represents some of the highest-performing routers available. The 12000 series is known for its high capacity, reliability, and ability to operate in a multi-protocol environment. Designed for the core of networks, these routers can handle massive amounts of traffic, making them suitable for Internet backbone deployments and large enterprise networks.

A standout feature of the Cisco 12000 series is its support for multiple interfaces and protocols, including OC-3, OC-12, and Gigabit Ethernet. This flexibility in connectivity makes it adaptable to a variety of network environments. Additionally, the 12000 series employs Cisco’s innovative Distributed Cisco IOS architecture, which provides fault tolerance, consistency, and high availability.

Both the Cisco 10720 and 12000 series routers incorporate advanced security features, ensuring that data remains protected even amidst heavy traffic. With capabilities such as IPsec encryption and advanced filtering mechanisms, they are well-suited for secure and resilient network operations.

In conclusion, both the Cisco 10720 and the Cisco 12000 series routers exemplify cutting-edge technology and engineering excellence, catering to high-performance networking requirements. Their features and capabilities ensure that organizations can build reliable, scalable, and secure networks, capable of supporting emerging technologies and growing traffic demands.
