Chapter 4 Deploying the Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager
Predeploying Anticipated Network Objects
Predeploying Anticipated Network Objects
The predeployment option is used to deploy a Catalyst switch into Cisco EMF before it has been attached
to the network. After an object has been predeployed, Cisco EMF 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 can be configured to automatically commission. 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 Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager objects are automatically discovered when you
commission the Network Element object.
Predeploying Network Element, Software, and Chassis Objects
To manually predeploy the Network Element, Software, and Chassis Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager
objects from various objects within the object hierarchy, proceed as follows.
If deploying from a generic Site container object, perform the following steps:
Step 1
