Cisco 6260 Element Management

Figure A-1 shows a typical deployment and interconnection example for the Cisco 6260 DSLAM in the location that it is connected to a Cisco 6400 Universal Access Concentrator (UAC) system.

Note Figure A-1 shows connections between the Cisco 6260 DSLAM and Cisco 6400 UAC as direct connections. It is also possible for these connections to be indirect (that is, through a switched network).

The figure also demonstrates the subtending feature of the Cisco 6260 DSLAM. For more information, refer to the "Subtending from an NI-2 Card" section .

Map Viewer

Map Viewer displays a graphical representation of a selected Cisco 6000 series chassis and is the primary entry point into the CDM system after the initial deployment of a site has been performed using the Object Manager, refer to the "Displaying Objects" section.

To access the Map Viewer:

Step 1 From the Launchpad, click the MapViewer icon.

Note To view the Map Viewer window, select the AV Tools/Open Map For Object option from the drop-down menu available when you right-click a selected object. This option is not available on the Manager or Site objects.

Step 2 The Map Viewer window appears. The window is divided into two sections, the hierarchy pane and the map pane. Drag the boundary to a required position to re-size a section.

A window similar to Figure A-2 appears. The map pane displays a map of the selected object. In Figure A-2 the empty slots are grayed and the slots with either the line cards or the NI-2 cards are represented with images.

Figure A-2: Map Viewer Window

Note Right-click any object to display the pop-up menu which lists services available on that object.

You can change the mode from Map Hierarchy to either:

View mode---The hierarchy pane is removed and the map pane fills the entire window.
Build mode---The map pane fills the entire window. This mode is used to edit existing maps and add new maps.

The hierarchy pane is used to navigate through the sub-maps. Double click on any of the nodes in the tree to view the relevant sub-map on the map pane.

Hierarchy Pane

The hierarchy pane is used to navigate around the maps in the system. When the Map Viewer is launched the hierarchy pane displays the Root icon and an icon for each top-level map. There are two icon types that can appear in the hierarchy pane:

1. Map with sub-maps

2. Map without sub-maps

The map currently displayed in the map pane shows its corresponding map icon highlighted in the hierarchy pane.

Map Pane

The map pane is used to monitor the status of all network elements and to launch any available applications. The map pane displays a map corresponding to the selected map icon in the hierarchy pane.

The map can contain nodes and links. There are three types of nodes and ten types of links. Each node on a map that has an object assigned to it has a colored status bar (for icons) or colored background (for nodes). The color corresponds to the highest event severity reported by the object, or any object in a sub-map assigned to the object.

The severity of events and their corresponding colors are shown in Table A-1.

Subtending from an NI-2 Card

To subtend from an NI-2 card:

Note The following steps pertain to subtending by connecting the DS3 ports of two Cisco 6000 Series DSLAMs with DS3 NI-2 cards.

Step 1 From the pop-up menu available on the required site, select Deploy --\> Cisco 6260 DSLAM. The Deployment Selector window appears (Figure A-3).

Figure A-3: Deployment Selector Window

Step 2 Select the Deploy 6260 DSLAM under ciscoDSLDS3Port option.

Step 3 Click the Forward button. The Deployment Details window appears (Figure A-4).

Figure A-4: Deployment Details Window

Step 4 Click the Forward button to proceed. The Object Details window appears (Figure A-5).

Figure A-5: Object Details Window

Step 5 Enter the IP Address of the DSLAM device to be subtended.

Note The values in the other boxes are displayed by default. To change the entries, select the relevant field and then edit the field.

Step 6 Click the Forward button. The Containment Details window appears (Figure A-6).

Figure A-6: Containment Details Window

Step 7 Click the Select button. The physContainment window appears (Figure A-7).

Figure A-7: physContainment Window

The physContainment window shows the hierarchy of the objects in the site that was subtended.

Step 8 Select the existing port from which the new NI-2 should be subtended.

Note You can select only objects with a green indicator.

Step 9 Click the Apply button. The Containment Details window reappears (see Figure A-6).

Step 10 Click the Forward button.

Step 11 Click the Apply button. The Deployment Summary window appears (Figure A-8).

Figure A-8: Deployment Summary Window

Step 12 Click Finish.

The Cancel button changes to Dismiss and Deployment Summary details appears relevant to the operation. If the operation is successful then a Deployment Succeeded message appears.

Note Do not close the Deployment Summary window before any result or message appears for the operation performed.

Deployment may fail for two reasons:

If you reserved a trunk port for the Cisco 6260 DSLAM. You cannot subtend using that port.
If you provided a duplicate name. You must assign each shelf/chassis/NI-2 a unique name.

Note If you have an error due to duplicate names, then the subtended object appears in the hierarchy. Delete the object, then repeat the process using unique names.

Step 13 To complete the subtending operation, click Dismiss.
