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 has a single chapter, "Installing and Upgrading the Cisco 6400 SCM," that describes how to install or upgrade the Cisco 6400 SCM software.
