Cisco Systems 12000/10700 V3.1.1 manual Commissioning a Chassis

Chapter 3 Getting Started

Deployment

Because the chassis is the highest-level object, all objects under the chassis are commissioned as well when you commission the chassis. One level down, if you commission a GRP, you commission all physical objects underneath that level. If you commission a line card, you commission all interfaces on that line card, and so on. However, note that before you can commission any module within a chassis, the chassis object itself must be commissioned. This means that you must run subchassis discovery by commissioning the chassis before you can commission or decommission any individual objects under the chassis. If you do not want to actively manage all objects within the chassis, you can decommission the objects you are not ready to manage after commissioning the chassis.

Tip If you are not ready to commission the chassis, you can manually deploy modules within the chassis (for details, see “Manually Deploying Modules” section on page 3-30). Modules can also be commissioned individually, provided the chassis is commissioned.

Commissioning a Chassis

When you commission a chassis, subchassis discovery begins automatically. Subchassis discovery discovers and commissions all objects within the chassis. Commissioning automatically starts active management (such as polling) on the chassis and all commissioned objects within the chassis.

To commission a chassis, proceed as follows:

Step 1 It is recommended that the Cisco IOS Username and Passwords are set correctly before proceeding. Right click on the Site object that contains the chassis you wish to commission, then choose Cisco 12000/10720 Manager>Configuration>Chassis>Configuration. The Chassis Configuration window appears.
