Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Object States

Decommissioned State

The decommissioned state indicates that an object is not managed. When you manually deploy an object, it is normally placed into a decommissioned state.

Tip Initially deployed objects are decommissioned to leave you with the option of managing the object or not. If you want to manage the object, you need to commission the object.

The following actions occur on a decommissioned object:

•Active management stops

•All sub objects are also decommissioned

Decommission buttons are located in Chassis, Module, Interface and VLAN Configuration windows. When you decommission an object, any children of that object also change their state to decommissioned. For example, if you decommission a chassis, all objects within that chassis (GRP card, line cards, interfaces, connections) are also decommissioned. If you decommission a line card, all interfaces and connections on that line card are decommissioned, and so on.

Normal State

The normal state indicates that an object is operational. When any physical object enters the normal state, Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager performs heartbeat polling on the objects. The heartbeat polling interval for chassis object is 1 minute and for all modules and interface objects, the heartbeat polling interval is 5 minutes.

Errored

When the object is in a non-operational state, it moves into the errored state. In the errored state, performance polling (if activated) is stopped; however, the heartbeat polling (which polls an object every 5 minutes to verify its existence and current state) continues, until the device responds positively to the heartbeat request. When the module is operational again, it responds positively to the heartbeat requests, and then moves into the state which it previously held.

Performance Logging On

When performance logging is started on an object in the Normal state, the object moves into the Performance Logging On state. This means that the performance data is collected on the object and is viewed in the Performance windows or the Performance Manager windows. Performance logging is enabled for GRPs, interfaces and VLAN sub-interfaces. You can enable performance logging on a global scale or on an individual object basis. Enabling global performance logging puts all subchassis objects into a performance logging on state. However, remember that only GRPs and interfaces actually collect performance data. (For more information on global performance logging, see “Starting Global Performance Logging” section on page 4-9.

Performance logging occurs every 15 minutes. This means that when you enable performance logging or global performance logging initially on an object, it takes 15 minutes for the data to be collected and displayed in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager performance menus.
