Module Commissioning and Discovery

The Module Commissioning and Discovery section covers the following areas:

•Commissioning Modules

•Decommissioning Modules

As previously described, there are several types of modules the EM supports, including line cards,

processors, and supporting modules (e.g., power supplies). Commissioning modules discovers and

commissions the module and all the objects within the module when applicable, and begins heartbeat

polling. Overall, successful commissioning places the module in a manageable state (by the EM).

The following lists the activities which occur when commissioning line cards and processor modules.

Commissioning a module initiates the following activities:

•All interfaces on the line card also commission

•Heartbeat polling begins on the line card and interfaces

•The line card and active interfaces are placed in the normal state

•Status data becomes available on the line card and interfaces

Commissioning any supporting module initiates the following activities:

•Heartbeat polling begins on the object

•The state changes to normal

•Status data becomes available

To commission a module, proceed as follows:

Step 1 Right–click (on a relevant object icon in the Map Viewer window or from an object pick list) and choose

Cisco Access Router Manager > Configuration > (Module >) Configuration. For information on

which objects allow you to launch the Module Configuration window, see Appendix A, “EM Windows”.

The Module Configuration window appears.
