Commissioning A Chassis - Cisco 12000 Software Manual

Chapter 3 Getting Started
Deployment
Because the chassis is the highest-level object, all objects under the chassis are commissioned as well
when you commission the chassis. One level down, if you commission a GRP, you commission all
physical objects underneath that level. If you commission a line card, you commission all interfaces on
that line card, and so on. However, note that before you can commission any module within a chassis,
the chassis object itself must be commissioned. This means that you must run subchassis discovery by
commissioning the chassis before you can commission or decommission any individual objects under
the chassis. If you do not want to actively manage all objects within the chassis, you can decommission
the objects you are not ready to manage after commissioning the chassis.
If you are not ready to commission the chassis, you can manually deploy modules within
Tip
the chassis (for details, see "Manually Deploying Modules" section on page 3-30).
Modules can also be commissioned individually, provided the chassis is commissioned.

management (such as polling) on the chassis and all commissioned objects within the chassis.
To commission a chassis, proceed as follows:
