Note
The Network Element object can be deployed and commissioned without the Password or EXEC

number of objects listed in the deployment summary information account for one Chassis object and two
automatically added objects, one generic Network Element object and one Software object.

Chassis objects appear beneath the Network Element object in the left-hand pane of the Map Viewer and
