Managing Modules

---

The following modules can be managed in CGM:

•GRPs

•Line cards—ATM, Ethernet, POS, and DS-3

•Supporting modules—CSCs, SFCs, AC or DC power supply modules, fan tray modules, blower modules

This chapter contains the following sections:

•CGM Module Names

•Module Configuration

•Module Fault Management

•Module Performance (only available on GRPs)

•Module Inventory

CGM Module Names

The naming convention used in CGM 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 would be called A6. A POS line card in slot 3 would be called P3.

The following table outlines each module and its respective abbreviation in CGM.

Table 4-1 Abbreviated Module Names

Module	CGM Abbreviation
DS-3	D
POS	P
ATM	A
Fast Ethernet	FE
Gigabit Ethernet	GE
Unrecognized Modules*	GM (Generic Module)
GRP	RP
CSC	C
SFC	SF

*Note that basic module management services are provided for any non-standard CGM modules.

Module Configuration

The Configuration window allows you to commission or decommission any module. You can also provide text descriptions of the specific module, if desired.

The Module Configuration section covers the following areas:

•Viewing the Module Configuration Window

•Commissioning or Decommissioning a Module

•Module Configuration Window—Detailed Description

Viewing the Module Configuration Window

To view the Configuration window, proceed as follows:

---

Step 1 Right-click on a selected module, then choose CGM Management>Physical>Module> Configuration. The Configuration window appears.

Figure 4-1 Configuration Window

Step 2 Make sure that the correct chassis and module are selected in the lists at left.

Step 3 You can type in any descriptive text in the Description 1 and Description 2 areas, if required.

Commissioning or Decommissioning a Module

To commission or decommission a module, proceed as follows:

•Choose the chassis and corresponding module you want to commission or decommission from the lists at left.

•Click the corresponding Commission or Decommission button.

Commissioning

Commissioning a GRP also commissions all objects under the GRP, which includes all line cards, interfaces, and ATM connections. Commissioning a supporting module commissions only that module.

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 and ATM connections on the line card are also commissioned

•Heartbeat polling begins on the line card, interfaces, and any ATM connections

•The line card, active interfaces, and active ATM connections are placed in the normal state

•Any interfaces or ATM connections that are pre-deployed but not active change to the errored state

•Status data becomes available on the line card and interfaces

Decommissioning

Decommissioning a GRP or any supporting module initiates the following activities:

•Heartbeat polling stops on the object

•The state is changed to decommissioned

•Status data is no longer available

•Performance polling stops on the module (if enabled)

Decommissioning a line card initiates the following activities:

•All interfaces and ATM connections on the line card are also decommissioned

•Heartbeat polling stops on the line card, interfaces, and ATM connections

•The line card, interfaces, and ATM connections are placed in the decommissioned state

•Status data is no longer available on the line card and interfaces

•Performance polling stops on the line card and interfaces (if enabled)

Module Configuration Window—Detailed Description

The Module Configuration window has one tab, Configuration. The Configuration tab has three areas:

•Additional Descriptions

•Actions

•Commission Status

Additional Descriptions

The Additional Descriptions area contains two description fields, where you can enter any descriptive text about the module, as desired.

Actions

The Actions area contains two buttons:

•Commission—Commissions the selected module.

•Decommission—Decommissions the selected module.

Commission Status

The Commission Status area provides the status of the last commission performed on the selected module. Possible values are succeeded or failed.

Module Fault Management

The Module Fault Management section covers the following areas:

•Viewing the Module Fault Management Window

•Module Fault Management Window—Detailed Description

Viewing the Module Fault Management Window

To view the Module Fault Management window, proceed as follows:

---

Step 1 Right-click on a GRP, line card, or supporting module, then choose CGM Management>Physical> Module>Fault Management.

Module Fault Management Window—Detailed Description

The Module Fault Management window has one tab, Fault Management. The Fault Management tab has two areas: Module Availability and Cisco Contact Details.

Module Availability

The Module Availability area contains the following fields:

•Up Time—Displays the time after the network portion of the system was last re-initialized for the selected module.

•Free Memory—Displays the memory space (in bytes) currently unused by the selected module.

•Last Restart Reason—Displays the reason for the system being re-initiated for the selected module.

•Last Authentication Failure Address—Displays the last authorization failure IP address for the selected module.

•Operational Status—Displays the current operational status of the selected module. Possible values are:

–Up—Module is recognized by the device and is operational.

–Down—Module is not recognized by the device or not enabled for operation.

–Standby—Module is enabled and is acting as standby. This value is only applicable for redundant GRPs.

Cisco Contact Details

This area provides Cisco Systems, Inc. address information, with telephone and e-mail contact details.

Module Performance

The Module Performance window allows you view the current performance information for the selected module and allows you to enable and disable performance logging on the selected module.

The Module Performance section covers the following areas:

•Viewing the Module Performance Window

•Enabling or Disabling Performance Logging

•Module Performance Window—Detailed Description

Viewing the Module Performance Window
