Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Object States
be any other user maintained VLAN grouping. There can be mulitple domains in the VLAN view and
each domain can contain mulitple VLAN objects. The same VLAN id can be duplicated across different
domains. Each VLAN object can have multiple sub-interface objects.
Note The sub-interface objects are shown only under the VLAN objects and in the component managed view.
Only Ethernet sub-interfaces are displayed.
Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Object States
Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager object states reflect the life cycle of an object. Whatever stage the
object is in at any given time is reflected in the state type. The state of an object can change frequently,
depending upon what actions are being performed on the object. All objects in Cisco 12000/10720
Router Manager have a state assigned to them which appears at the bottom left corner of each FCAP
window for a selected object (see
Figure 2-6 ).
Figure 2-6 Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Object States
The two most common object states are Normal and Decommissioned. For example, when you deploy a
line card in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager, the initial state of the line card is decommissioned. You
can then commission the line card to begin active management (for details on how to commission a
module, see
“Commissioning a Selected Module” section on page 5-4 ). When you commission the line
card, it passes through two transitory states: discovery and commissioning. The commissioning process
determines which state to move the object into (typically Normal). This example reflects the basic
process of deploying and commissioning an object.
Certain states ripple down to any objects below. For example, if you decommission a chassis, all
subchassis objects are also decommissioned. If you enable performance logging on a line card, all
interfaces on the line card are also transitioned to performance logging.
By default, FCAP windows refresh at a rate dependent upon the type of window. For example, inventory
windows are refreshed at a lower rate than performance windows. The average refresh rate is every 30
seconds.
The following sections describe the possible states that an object may be in and provides a description
of these states.
