Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco 12000/10720 Routers and the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager application.
The Cisco 10720 Router provides IP services to users at optical speeds at the edge of their networks. The Cisco 10720 Router provides network access using Ethernet and Dynamic Packet Transport (DPT) technology for optical connectivity. Each router is equipped with one uplink card and one Ethernet access card.
Figure 1-1 shows a typical Cisco 12000 Series Routers deployment. The Cisco
12000/10720 Router Manager application supports the entire range of the Cisco 12000 Series Routers like: Cisco 12008, Cisco 12012, Cisco 12016, Cisco 12404, Cisco 12406, Cisco 12410, Cisco 12416 and the Cisco 10720 Router.

Cisco Element Manager Framework (Cisco EMF)
Cisco Element Manager Framework (Cisco EMF)
Cisco EMF is an open carrier class management system, designed to integrate with third party products and proprietary operational support systems.
Many different management protocols, both standards-based and proprietary, are supported by Cisco EMF in a transparent manner. New network devices are managed instantly and new management applications can be quickly developedto meet new requirements.
Cisco EMF systems architecture provides a distributed network management solution designed to manage large-scale networks. Cisco EMF provides the performance required within the logical and physical architecture and provides user interfaces that support the need to perform mass operations to large domains within the overall network.
In addition, because of the distributed nature of Cisco EMF, administration tools are provided to “manage” the management system. Refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide Release 3.2 (78-12536-01) for further details.
Map Viewer is the primary entry point into the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager software. When Map Viewer is launched, the application is displayed corresponding to the highlighted map icon in the hierarchy pane.
You can easily monitor the status of all network elements or abstractions of elements contained within the network and you can launch any additional applications available.See “Map Viewer (Viewer)”section on page 3-7 for further details.

Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager

Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager
The Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager application is a carrier class Element Manager (EM) that allows you to manage Cisco 12000/10720 Routers. Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager adds custom windows and modeling behavior to the standard Cisco EMF to allow the management of the Cisco 12000 Series and Cisco 10720 Routers.
Note This Guide describes the concepts and operating instructions for the Cisco
12000/10720 Router Manager. Refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide Release 3.2 (78-12536-01) for further details on
Cisco EMF.
