Overview

Cisco Element Manager Framework (Cisco EMF)

Cisco EMF is an open carrier class management system, designed to integrate

with third party products and proprietary operational support systems.

Many different management protocols, both standards-based and proprietary, are

supported by Cisco EMF in a transparent manner. New network devices are

managed instantly and new management applications can be quickly developed to

meet new requirements.

Cisco EMF systems architecture provides a distributed network management

solution designed to manage large-scale networks. Cisco EMF provides the

performance required within the logical and physical architecture and provides

user interfaces that support the need to perform mass operations to large domains

within the overall network.

In addition, because of the distributed nature of Cisco EMF, administration tools

are provided to "manage" the management system. Refer to the Cisco Element

Management Framework User Guide Release 3.2 (78-12536-01) for further

details.

Map Viewer is the primary entry point into the Cisco 12000/10720 Router

Manager software. When Map Viewer is launched, the application is displayed

corresponding to the highlighted map icon in the hierarchy pane.

You can easily monitor the status of all network elements or abstractions of

elements contained within the network and you can launch any additional

applications available. See

"Map Viewer (Viewer)" section on page 3-7

for further

details.
