Cisco Element Manager Framework (Cisco EMF)

Cisco Element Manager Framework (Cisco EMF)

Cisco EMF is an open carrier class management system, designed to integrate with third party products and proprietary operational support systems.

Many different management protocols, both standards-based and proprietary, are supported by Cisco EMF in a transparent manner. New network devices are managed instantly and new management applications can be quickly developed to meet new requirements.

Cisco EMF systems architecture provides a distributed network management solution designed to manage large-scale networks. Cisco EMF provides the performance required within the logical and physical architecture and provides user interfaces that support the need to perform mass operations to large domains within the overall network.

In addition, because of the distributed nature of Cisco EMF, administration tools are provided to “manage” the management system. Refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide Release 3.2 (78-12536-01)for further details.

Map Viewer is the primary entry point into the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager software. When Map Viewer is launched, the application is displayed corresponding to the highlighted map icon in the hierarchy pane.

You can easily monitor the status of all network elements or abstractions of elements contained within the network and you can launch any additional applications available. See “Map Viewer (Viewer)” section on page 3-7for further details.
