Chapter 4 Deploying the Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager
Predeploying Anticipated Network Objects
Note
The SNMP V2c Read and Write Community field labels will contain a prefix appropriate to the
deployment template selected in
Step 2
, IOS or CatOS. Multiple SNMP V2c Read and Write
Community fields display if a Hybrid deployment template was selected in
Step 2
, IOS and
CatOS.
Note
The Network Element object can be predeployed without the SNMP read/write community
strings being set.
If using a Hybrid deployment template, you must click Forward after providing the SNMP V2c Read
and Write Community fields. Another Deployment Wizard—Object Parameters (3) window appears
with the following fields. Provide inputs accordingly, then click Forward.
•
Username—Username ID login for the device
•
Password—Corresponding password to the device for the username entered
•
EXEC Password—Executive password to the device
Note
The Username, Password, and EXEC Password field labels will contain a prefix appropriate to
the deployment template selected in
Step 2
, IOS or CatOS. Multiple Username, Password, and
EXEC Password fields display if a Hybrid deployment template was selected in
Step 2
, IOS and
CatOS.
Note
The Network Element object can be predeployed without the Password or EXEC passwords
being set.
Step 5
Choose the appropriate Deployment Commissioning Mode option. For predeployment, it is suggested
that you choose the Auto Commission option, but the Decommissioned option is an alternative selection.
The Auto Commission parameter determines the commissioning action to be taken upon deployment.
Available options are as follows:
•
Decommissioned—Deploys the Chassis object in the decommissioned state (i.e., not
commissioned).
•
Commission—Deploys the Chassis object in the commissions state. This option is used when
deploying objects available on the network.
•
Auto Commission—Predeploys the Chassis object in the decommissioned state. Upon contact with
the device, commissioning automatically begins (i.e., chassis and subchassis discovery initiates).
Step 6
Click Forward.
The Deployment—Wizard Summary window appears.
The number of objects to be deployed consists of user selected and automatically added objects. For each
user selected object (i.e., the number of switch Network Element objects entered in
Step 3
), there are
two automatically added objects, one generic Network Element object and one Software object. These
variables directly correlate to the number of objects listed in the deployment summary information.
Step 7
Click Finish to deploy the chassis and close the Deployment Wizard—Summary window if the
deployment summary information is correct. If the Deployment Wizard—Summary information is
incorrect, click Cancel to stop deployment and close the Deployment Wizard—Summary window.
