Predeployment

This deployment option is used to deploy the Catalyst 6000 family switch or

Cisco 7600 series Internet Router into CEMF before it has been attached to the

network. After an object has been predeployed, CEMF keeps the object in a

decommissioned state until the device corresponding to the object is added to the

network. After the switch is brought on-line, the predeployed object will be

commissioned automatically. The following objects can be predeployed:

•Network Element, Software and Chassis

•Supervisor Modules

•Ethernet Modules

•Switch Fabric Modules

•FlexWAN Modules

•Port Adapter

•Content Switching Module

•EtherChannel Modules

The remaining C65/76M objects are automatically discovered when the Network

Element object is commissioned.

To manually predeploy the Network Element, Software, and Chassis C65/76M

objects, select the pop-up menu item, Deployment > Deploy Manager, from the

appropriate container. The following example describes how to manually

predeploya Catalyst 6500 series switch. To manually predeploy other devices, use

the pop-up menu from the other manager containers.

Choose Deployment > Deploy Catalyst 6500 Manager from the pop-up menu.

This pop-up menu item, shown in Figure 4-17, is availablefrom the Site level in

thePhysical container and at the top level of the Catalyst 6500 Manager container.
