Chapter 3 Getting Started
Cisco EMF Launchpad
Viewer
The Viewer icon provides access to the Cisco EMF Map Viewer application, which provides complete
flexibility in viewing, building, and monitoring a network using graphical representations of Network
Elements. The Map Viewer application is the primary access point for C65/76M management functions.
Groups
The Groups icon provides access to the Cisco EMF Object Group Manager application, which provides
the opportunity to organize Network Elements into object groups. The Object Group Manager allows the
creation, deletion, and modification of object groups. Object groups can be any combination of objects
derived from the Cisco EMF managed object class. Objects can be added manually or on the basis of
query criteria.
Access
The Access icon provides access to the Cisco EMF User Access Control application, which is a
component of Carrier Class Security and provides system administrators the opportunity to control
which features of their system can be accessed by various levels of personnel. This is important for
security and efficient and effective network management.
Events
The Events icon provides access to the Event Browser application. In Cisco EMF, when a condition
(fault) occurs on a managed object in the network, the system is notified immediately. This notification
is shown as an event and can be viewed with the Event Browser. One of the most important aspects of
network service management is the ability to identify events on the system and to take action to resolve
them quickly and efficiently. For example, there may be a power supply fault in a chassis which would
require an engineer to be sent out to rectify the fault. This fault is critical to the running of the network
and would need prompt attention.
Discovery
The Discovery icon provides access to the Cisco EMF Auto Discovery application, which examines the
network for IP and SNMP devices and creates a managed object for each new device discovered. Auto
Discovery can be opened from the Cisco EMF Launchpad window or from a pop-up menu available on
a selected object.
Notify
The Notify icon provides access to the Notification feature. An important aspect of a monitoring system
which captures and reacts to events on the network is when and how a network operator is informed of
these events. The Cisco EMF Event Manager uses notifications for providing this information. For
example, when the temperature of a module rises 10 degrees above normal, an e-mail might be sent to
the network operator warning of a potential problem and a minor event might be generated if the
temperature does not fall to within 10 degrees of normal within twenty minutes.
