Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Object States
Decommissioned State
The decommissioned state indicates that an object is not managed. When you manually deploy an object,
it is normally placed into a decommissioned state.
Tip Initially deployed objects are decommissioned to leave you with the option of managing
the object or not. If you want to manage the object, you need to commission the object.
The following actions occur on a decommissioned object:
• Active management stops
• All sub objects are also decommissioned
Decommission buttons are located in Chassis, Module, Interface and VLAN Configuration windows.
When you decommission an object, any children of that object also change their state to
decommissioned. For example, if you decommission a chassis, all objects within that chassis (GRP card,
line cards, interfaces, connections) are also decommissioned. If you decommission a line card, all
interfaces and connections on that line card are decommissioned, and so on.
Normal State
The normal state indicates that an object is operational. When any physical object enters the normal
state, Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager performs heartbeat polling on the objects. The heartbeat
polling interval for chassis object is 1 minute and for all modules and interface objects, the heartbeat
polling interval is 5 minutes.
Errored
When the object is in a non-operational state, it moves into the errored state. In the errored state,
performance polling (if activated) is stopped; however, the heartbeat polling (which polls an object every
5 minutes to verify its existence and current state) continues, until the device responds positively to the
heartbeat request. When the module is operational again, it responds positively to the heartbeat requests,
and then moves into the state which it previously held.
Performance Logging On
When performance logging is started on an object in the Normal state, the object moves into the
Performance Logging On state. This means that the performance data is collected on the object and is
viewed in the Performance windows or the Performance Manager windows. Performance logging is
enabled for GRPs, interfaces and VLAN sub-interfaces. You can enable performance logging on a global
scale or on an individual object basis. Enabling global performance logging puts all subchassis objects
into a performance logging on state. However, remember that only GRPs and interfaces actually collect
performance data. (For more information on global performance logging, see
“Starting Global
Performance Logging” section on page 4-9 .
Performance logging occurs every 15 minutes. This means that when you enable performance logging
or global performance logging initially on an object, it takes 15 minutes for the data to be collected and
displayed in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager performance menus.
