Predeploying Anticipated Network Objects
Note
If predeployment was performed without setting the SNMP read/write community strings and/or the
device password, you must establish these parameters prior to commissioning. For instructions, see the
“Enabling Communication Between Network Elements and Devices” section on page 4-22

Predeploying Subchassis Modules
Following the predeployment of a Catalyst switch Network Element, you may predeploy the modules
within the chassis. The following subchassis objects can be predeployed:
•
Supervisor Modules
•
Ethernet Modules
•
Switch Fabric Modules
•
FlexWAN Modules
•
Port Adapters
•
Optical Services Modules
•
Content Switching Module
Tip
Supporting modules, such as AC or DC power supplies, are automatically added through subchassis
discovery. You cannot manually deploy these objects.
To predeploy a subchassis module, perform the following:
Step 1
Launch the Deployment Wizard by performing one of the following:
•
Right-click a chassis object, then choose Deployment. Then choose from one of the following
options:
–
Deploy Supervisor/Control Module(s)—Subchassis object predeployment templates for
Supervisor, Switch Fabric, FlexWan, and Content Switching module types.
–
Deploy Ethernet Module(s)—Subchassis object predeployment templates for standard
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet module types.
–
Optical Service Module(s)—Subchassis object predeployment templates for Optical Service
Modules types.
•
Right-click a FlexWan subchassis module object, then choose Deployment > Deploy Port
Adapter(s).
Note
To predeploy a port adapter, the FlexWAN module must first be deployed
The Deployment Wizard appears, displaying the Deployment Wizard—Object Parameters (1) window.
Step 2
