Chapter1 Concepts
EM Objects and Interfaces
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 CiscoEMF 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.
Physical Interfaces—Each module (interface or port adapter) has at
least one, if not multiple, physical interfaces (ports). The type of
physical interface is equivalent to the type of module the interface
resides on. Each different physical interface can support multiple
technologies (for details, see the “Physical Interfaces and Logical
Interface Technologies” section on page 1-11). The module type
determines what technologies reside on the interfaces.
