This chapter describes the management tasks that can be performed on the modules in the
Cisco 12000/10720 internet router being managed using the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager
application.
The following modules can be managed using the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager:
• GRPs
• Line cards—ATM, Ethernet, SRP, POS, DS-3, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
• Supporting modules—CSCs, SFCs, AC or DC power supply modules, fan tray modules, blower
modules, alarm modules and bus board
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Module Names
• Launching the Module Management Windows
• Module Configuration
• Module Fault Management
• Module Performance (only available on GRPs)
• Module Inventory
Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Module Names
The naming convention used in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager for line cards, GRPs, CSCs, and
SFCs is an abbreviated form of the type of module, followed by the slot number of the module. For
example, an ATM line card in slot 6 is called A6, and a POS line card in slot 3 is called P3.
Table 5-1 identifies each module type and its respective abbreviation in Cisco 12000/10720 Router
Manager.

Launching the Module Management Windows
Table 5-2 displays the Module Management windows that can be launched from each object type. For
example, the Module Fault Management window can be launched from a Site, Chassis or Module object,
but cannot be launched from an Interface object.
Note Table 5-2 lists the menu options to launch the module management dialogs from the site level.

Note Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager windows cannot be opened when multiple objects are
selected (the menu options to open the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager windows are
grayed out). Available menu options can be launched from a site object containing the
required objects, when needed.
Module Configuration
The Configuration window allows you to commission or decommission any module. You can also
provide text descriptions of the specific module, if required.
The Module Configuration section provides the following information:
• Viewing the Configuration Window
• Commissioning a Selected Module
• Decommissioning a Selected Module
• Module Configuration Window—Detailed Description
Module Configuration
Viewing the Configuration Window
To view the Configuration window, proceed as follows:
Step 1 Right click on a module and select the Cisco 12000/10720 Manager>Configuration>Module
Configuration option. Refer to Table 5-2 on page 5-2 for information on which objects allow you to

Step 2 Choose a Chassis and Module from the list boxes displayed at the left of the window.
Commissioning a Selected Module
Commissioning any card also commissions all the interfaces under the card.
Note You can select multiple Modules (from the Module object selector list) which allows you to
commission all of the selected modules simultaneously. You can choose multiple modules in a
list by holding down the Shift key and then selecting the first and last module in the list. You can
choose multiple individual modules by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the individual
modules.
To commission a module, proceed as follows:
Step 1 Open the Configuration window. Refer to the “Viewing the Configuration Window” section on page 5-3
for further details.
Step 2 Choose a Chassis and Module from the list boxes displayed at the left of the window.

Step 5
Choose Close to close the Action Report window.
The selected module is now commissioned. Commissioning a GRP or any supporting module initiates
the following activities:
• Heartbeat polling begins on the object
• The state is changed to normal
• Status data becomes available
Commissioning a line card initiates the following activities:
• All interfaces on the line card are also commissioned
• Heartbeat polling begins on the line card and interfaces
• The line card and active interfaces are placed in the normal state
• Any interfaces that are pre-deployed but not active change to the errored state
• Status data becomes available on the line card and interfaces
Decommissioning a Selected Module
Note You can select multiple Modules from the Module object selector list. Selecting multiple modules allows
you to decommission all of the selected modules simultaneously. You can choose multiple modules in a
list by holding down the Shift key and then selecting the first and last module in the list. You can choose
multiple individual modules by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the individual modules.
