Deployment

The first step toward managing a Ci sco 12000/ 10720 Rou ter is to deploy or pre-d eploy the phys ical

objects tha t you want to man age. Depl oying a physic al object cr eate s a represen tative object in

Cisco E MF and as a resu lt, m akes the C isco 12000/ 1 0720 Ro ut er M ana ger ap pli catio n aware of the

physical obj ect’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 depl oy o bject s unde r the cha ssis, you can us e subc hassi s discovery o r ma nual ly d ep loy eac h

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 mi ght want to aut omate the se processe s by using auto disc overy. For example , if Cisco

12000/10720 Route r Manager is installed into an existing net work of Cisco 12000/10720 Routers, auto

discovery can dra mat ical ly re duce the amo unt of ope rato r i np ut r equi red. If you onl y want t o de ploy a

few objects or if many of your objects are not yet physically present, you might want to deploy manually.
