Commissioning and Subchassis Discovery

After you deploy a chassis, the next step in creating a manageable system is to commission the chassis
(which begins the process of subchassis discovery). Figure 3-21 shows a Cisco 12008 chassis map in the
Physical view before subchassis discovery. Subchassis discovery discovers all physical objects (that is,
modules and interfaces) within the chassis and places them onto the chassis map.

Line cards and interfaces located within the chassis are discovered at this time. Commissioning not only
discovers all the physical objects within the chassis, but also uploads the ATM connection objects (ATM
PVC objects only) and initiates heartbeat polling that allows alarms to be raised on the chassis and all
the physical objects within the chassis.
