The Cisco 6400 Service Connection Manager (SCM) software uses the Cisco Element Management Framework (Cisco EMF), which provides element management to simplify the day-to-day tasks of an operator. These tasks can include equipment provisioning, fault monitoring, interface configuration, and gathering and displaying interface performance statistics.
This guide is written as a technical resource for network managers, system administrators (the people responsible for managing the network), network analysts (those who configure the network), and operators.
It is assumed that you have a basic understanding of network design, operation, and terminology, and that you are familiar with your own network configurations. It is also assumed that you have a basic familiarity with UNIX and have read and understood the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide.
This guide is organized as follows:
"Installation," describes how to install the Cisco 6400 SCM software.
This section discusses conventions and terminology used throughout this guide.
· pointer — indicates where the mouse action is to occur
· select — to push and hold down the left mouse button
· release — to let up on a mouse button to initiate an action
· click — to select and release a mouse button without moving the pointer
· double-click — to click a mouse button twice quickly without moving the pointer
· drag — to move the pointer by sliding the mouse with one or more buttons selected
The Cisco EMF software supports a three-button mouse. The buttons are configured as follows:
· left button — selects objects and activates controls
· middle button — adjusts a selected group of objects, adding to or deselecting part of the group
· right button — displays and selects from menus
This Guide uses this terminology throughout (even though it is possible for individual users to customize their devices to use the buttons in an alternative manner).
In situations that allow more than one item to be selected from a list simultaneously, the following actions are supported:
· to select a single item in a list, click on the entry. Clicking a second time on a previously selected entry deselects it.
· to select a contiguous block of items, click on the first entry; then, without releasing the mouse button, drag to the last desired entry and release. (A subsequent click anywhere on the screen deselects all previous selections.)
· to extend a currently selected block, hold the Shift key down and click on the entry at the end of the group to be added.
· to add a non-contiguous entry to the selection group, hold down the Ctrl (Control) key and click on the entry to be added.
Names of on-screen elements that you click, or select (menu names and commands, and controls such as buttons, drop-down lists, and so on) are printed in bold font.
Bold font is also used for keywords, names of commands, and names of keys on the keyboard.
Text displayed as on-screen examples is printed in courier font.
When set off from the main text, words and characters you should enter by the keyboard are printed in bold font. When the word or character string is enclosed in angle brackets (< and >), you should substitute your own character string for the example presented in the text.
you should specify the string root at the login prompt. However, when you see:
you should specify your own password in place of the character string <rootpassword>.
The italic style is used to emphasize words, to introduce new terms, and for titles of printed publications (however, not titles of CD-ROMs or disks).
Cisco Connection Online (CCO) is Cisco Systems' primary, real-time support channel. Maintenance customers and partners can self-register on CCO to obtain additional information and services.
