Chapter 2 Basic Concepts

Containment Views

The CEMF Map Viewer application uses a concept called containment views to allow logical grouping
of monitored objects. Objects being managed by CEMF must be added to one or more containment
views. Objects are organized into different views and can exist in multiple views simultaneously by
reference. Objects can be in one or more containment views.

When installed, the C65/76M does not modify the visible containment views and all managed objects
will appear in the Physical tree. Note that previous versions of the EMS added three other containment
views (Catalyst6000Manager, Catalyst6500Manager and Cisco7600Manager) - if these views are
present the version 2.0 release of the Manager application is still installed. See the Cisco 6500/7600
Manager Installation Guide for instruction on removing the previous version of the Manager.

Network View

The network view is a standard feature in CEMF. This view is used by the CEMF Auto Discovery feature
to determine which devices have already been added to the system so that Auto Discovery does not try
to discover the same device multiple times. This view displays all IP devices under their parent network
(that is, it groups monitored objects in a network layout). This view provides a logical view of the
network structure. For example, devices on the same subnet would be grouped together. Refer to the
Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide for more information.
