Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager Object States; Decommissioned State - Cisco WS-C3550-12G User Manual

Chapter 2 Basic Concepts

Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager Object States

All Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager objects have states associated with them. Each state corresponds to
a specific task that is performed in that state. For example, in the performance state, attributes are being
polled at a predefined rate. State changes can be triggered by actions, or selected SNMP traps from the
device. The state of an object can change frequently, depending upon what actions are being performed
on the object. All objects in Cisco EMF have a state assigned to them, which appears at the bottom left
corner of each window for a selected object.
Object states reflect the life cycle of an object. Whatever stage the object is in at any given time displays
in the state type. The state of an object can change frequently, depending upon what actions take place
on the object. All objects within the EM are in a specific state which appears at the bottom left corner
of each FCAPS window. The following figure highlights an object's state.
Figure 2-4
The two most common object states are Normal and Decommissioned. Some states are inherited by an
object's children. For example, if a chassis is decommissioned, all subchassis objects are also
decommissioned. If performance logging is enabled on a module, performance logging is enabled on all
ports of that module.
The following sections describe the possible states that an object may be in and provides a description
of these states.

Decommissioned State

The decommissioned state indicates that an object is not being managed. When an object is initially
deployed, it is normally placed into a decommissioned state. The following actions occur on a
decommissioned object:
•
•
Decommission buttons can be found within certain windows, dependent upon the type of object selected.
When an object is decommissioned, the children of that object also change their state to
decommissioned. For example, if a module is decommissioned, all interfaces and connections on that
module are decommissioned.
Objects can be put into the decommissioned state from any other state.
