Deploying the C65/76M
This chapter describes how to deploy the Cisco 6500/7600 Series Manager, and consists of these
sections:

Managing a Catalyst 6000 Family Switch or a Cisco 7600 Series
Internet Router
Managing a Catalyst 6000 family switch or a Cisco 7600 series Internet Router using CEMF is a
two-step process:
1.
2.

Deploying Objects

The deployment process should be done after you install the C65/76M software for the first time, or after
you install new hardware. Deployment informs the C65/76M of the presence of supported hardware.
The C65/76M objects can be automatically discovered or manually deployed. Objects can also be
predeployed in CEMF before the actual installation of a Catalyst 6000 family switch or a Cisco 7600
series Internet Router in the field.
Predeployment is the process of reserving a space in CEMF for network equipment, which has not yet
been physically slotted into the system rack. When an object or device is predeployed, the physical
device or object is not present, but CEMF has been preconfigured to hold an object of similar type. As
a result, C65/76M module objects can be deployed and the C65/76M will not monitor their status. When
a module is then placed in the physical equipment, the new module will be automatically detected and
management of the module will be automatically started.
