Deploying Generic Objects

Some generic objects are technology specific (e.g., IP Device, SNMP Agent, SNMP MIB–2 Agent, SNMP Proxied Agent), while others are not (e.g., region, site, bay). Non–technology specific generic objects can be used to organize the components of your network when deployed beforehand. For example, you may ultimately choose to organize a number of bays within a generic region object, a number of sites within a generic bay object, and a number of chassis within a generic site object. In general you can organize generic objects as you wish. However, in order to support successful deployment of non–generic chassis objects, chassis objects must be deployed directly beneath a generic site object.

Generic object deployment uses the Cisco EMF Deployment Wizard templates. When deploying a generic object, the information you are prompted to provide differs according to the type and number of generic objects you are deploying.

The following table displays a list of generic objects that can be deployed using the generic deployment templates.

Table 3-1 Generic Object Deployment Templates

Object to be Deployed	Deployment Templates Available
Generic	Bay
	IP Device
	Region
	SNMP Agent
	SNMP MIB–2 Agent
	SNMP Proxied Device
	Site

This section provides an example that shows how to deploy a non–technology specific site object.

Note For additional information on deploying generic objects, including deployment from the Class Palette, see the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide Release 3.2. Additionally, know that the Cisco Shelf object on the Class Palette is not applicable (not valid) to this EM.

To deploy a Generic (Site) object, proceed as follows:

Step 1 Place the cursor over a relevant object to determine the objects you can deploy from. In this example we will deploy a site object from the Physical view.

Step 2 Press (click and hold down) the right mouse button.

Step 3 Choose Deployment > Deploy Generic Objects.

The Deployment Wizard – Templates window appears displaying a list of available generic object deployment profiles. Deployment profiles are templates that prompt you for the appropriate information required to deploy the selected object successfully.
