EM Objects and Interfaces

Table 1-1 Physical Objects and Management Functions (continued)

Physical Object

Management Functions

 

 

Physical Interfaces—Each module (interface or port adapter) has at

Configuration

least one, if not multiple, physical interfaces (ports). The type of

Fault Management

physical interface is equivalent to the type of module the interface

Performance

resides on. Each different physical interface can support multiple

Configuration Profile

technologies (for details, see the “Physical Interfaces and Logical

Inventory

Interface Technologies” section on page 1-11). The module type

 

determines what technologies reside on the interfaces.

 

 

 

Supporting Modules—Additional subchassis cards and modules

Inventory

which include switch fabric cards (SFCs), AC or DC power supply

 

module(s), and fan tray modules.

 

 

 

The physical objects and interfaces in the preceding table are organized as follows:

The chassis contains the modules, including supporting modules (e.g., processors, SFCs, power supplies, and fan trays);

The modules contain the physical interfaces.

For further details on hierarchies within Cisco EMF and the EM, see the “Views” section on page 1-13.

Tip Physical objects contained within a chassis are often referred to as subchassis objects or modules.

Cisco Catalyst 8500 Router Chassis

The C8500MGR application supports three Cisco Catalyst 8500 router models:

Cisco 8510 multiservice ATM switch router (MSR)

Cisco 8540 MSR

Cisco LightStream 1010 (LS1010)

The Cisco 8510 and Cisco LS1010 chassis are exactly the same. The following figure displays an example of the Cisco 8510 and Cisco LS1010 router chassis, and identifies the modules and sub–modules that you would find.
