Generating a Chassis Slot Summary
For each device category that supports capacity planning, the Chassis Slot Summary shows the total
number of devices and the number of devices with free slots.
You can click on a link to display Chassis Slot Details for those devices, for example, all devices with
free slots.
You can display the number of available slots for the following device classes:
• Cisco Catalyst Switch
• Cisco Router
• Cisco Aironet
• Cisco LS1010 Switch
• Cisco Catalyst L2L3 Switch
The report also displays a summary of the devices submitted for the report, the number of devices that
are without data, and the devices that do not support capacity planning.
To generate the report, see Generating Inventory Reports.
Generating Chassis Slot Details
The Chassis Slot Details report is for those devices that support Chassis capacity. The report displays
the number of free slots or the available capacity for the selected devices.
The devices that support capacity planning include Catalyst Switch, L2L3 Switch, and Router.
To generate the report, see Generating Inventory Reports.
This report displays the device name, the total slots, the available slots, location of the device, and
userfield information for each device, based on the Cisco MetaData Framework (MDF) categorization.
The report also displays a summary of the devices submitted for the report, the number of devices that
are without data and the devices that do not support capacity planning.
Click on a device name to go to Device Center. (For details about Device Center, see the CiscoWorks
Common Services Online Help or User Guide).
Generating MultiService Port Details
You can display information about multiservice ports on selected switches. Multiservice ports are
specially designed to supply inline power while supporting voice traffic.
This report displays devices and the number of free slots, and multi-service ports available. The report
displays information such as device name, domain name, total slots, available slots, location, power
supply, multi-service port modules, module port count, powered port count, and user-defined fields.
This report is applicable for modular devices such as Catalyst 4000, Catalyst 6000.
If you want your system to support voice traffic, use this report to determine:
• Whether your switch has empty slots into which you can install multiservice modules (Available
Slots).
• Whether you have to upgrade your power supply wattage to support the multiservice modules
installed in your switch (Power Supply and Multiservice Modules).
