Predeploying Anticipated Network Objects

Commissioning Predeployed Objects

Predeployed objects may be commissioned manually or automatically, depending on the selections made
from the Deployment Wizard object parameters. Object deployed with the Auto Commission setting are
discovered when a coldStart SNMP trap that is issued from the switch is received by the Cisco EMF
server. Receipt of this trap initiates subchassis discovery of the predeployed Network Element,
commissioning discovered subobjects.
For the automatic commissioning to work, the switch or router must be configured to send SNMP traps
and the Cisco EMF server host must be in the trap client list.
If the coldStart trap is not received by the Cisco EMF server when the switch is first brought on-line,
then the predeployed Network Element object needs to be commissioned manually by opening the
Network Element window and selecting the Commission button. For further information, see the
"Manually Commissioning Network Elements" section on page 4-25.
