Supported Software

The Cisco 6500/7600 Series Manager (C65/76M) software manages and monitors one or more Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers using Cisco Element Management Framework (CEMF), version 3.2. The C65/76M provides standard element-management functionality, such as fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS).

Cisco 6500/7600 Series Manager Software Overview

The Cisco 6500/7600 Series Manager (C65/76M) software adds custom windows and modeling behavior to the standard CEMF system to provide management of the Catalyst 6000 family switches and Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers.

The software helps network administrators manage Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers by eliminating the need to have Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and a detailed knowledge of the Cisco IOS or Catalyst OS required commands. The software also helps simplify the deployment process for the Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers.

Multiple Element Managers can be installed onto a single CEMF server, which allows multidevice and multivendor management from a single system.


Note Refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide for additional information.


Software Features

The C65/76M software provides the following features:

Manual predeployment of Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers and subcomponents in the management system before actual installation. The system can automatically detect predeployed objects and begin management when they are installed and configured.

Autodiscovery feature that identifies newly installed Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers and their hardware configuration.

Access to maps that are automatically created by the management system to show the exact representation of Catalyst 6000 family or Cisco 7600 series Internet Router components.

SNMP alarms presented as color-coded icons on network maps.

Access to fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) functionality (supported through SNMP and Cisco IOS or Catalyst OS software) through GUIs that you can operate without SNMP or Cisco IOS or Catalyst OS software expertise.

Many operations can be performed to several Catalyst 6000 family switches or Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers, simplifying the management of a large deployment of multiple switches.

CEMF event browser or performance manager provide historical information analysis.

Configuration of Ethernet, PoS, ATM, and Sonet modules.

Configuration management, including backup and restore operations.

Software-download initiation.

Catalyst 6000 Family Overview

The Catalyst 6000 family consists of the 6-slot Catalyst 6006 switch and the 9-slot Catalyst 6009 switch. The Catalyst 6500 series consists of the 6-slot Catalyst 6506 switch, the 9-slot Catalyst 6509 switch, the 9-slot Catalyst 6509NEB switch (shown in Figure 1-1), and the 13-slot 6513 switch.

These high-performance, modular, frame-based switches support high-density Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet in both campus-backbone and server-aggregation environments. The Catalyst 6006 and the Catalyst 6009 switches have a 32-Gbps switching capacity, while the Catalyst 6506, the Catalyst 6509, and the Catalyst 6509-NEB switches can support a backplane architecture that scales from 32 Gbps to 256 Gbps.

All platforms share the same supervisor engines, switching modules, and software, and support redundant configurations of supervisor engines, power supplies, and port interfaces.

For additional information about the Catalyst 6000 family switches, refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Installation Guide. For a complete list of Catalyst 6000 family documentation, see the "Related Documentation" section on page xv.

Cisco 7600 Series Overview

The Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers consist of the 3-slot 7603, the 6-slot 7606, and the vertical 9-slot 7609 (shown in Figure 1-2).

The Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers deliver optical LAN, WAN, and MAN networking with a focus on line-rate delivery of high-touch IP services at the network edge. Service providers can "service enable" their networks at optical speeds, enabling them to differentiate their service offerings for competitive advantage.

The Cisco 7600 series Internet Routers support the following features:

30 Mpps forwarding processor and up to 512 MB DRAM for Internet routing

Up to two distributed Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF) IP services processors on each Optical Services Module (OSM) for flexible IP service implementation

High-touch, line-rate IP services at 6 Mpps per slot:

QoS

Hierarchical traffic shaping

Destination sensitive services (accounting, billing, and QoS)

The ability to monitor service levels delivered to customers under service level agreements (SLAs)

Wide range of WAN and MAN interfaces providing DS0 through OC-48 (using the FlexWAN module)

Compatibility with the Catalyst 6000 family LAN interfaces offering 10 Mbps Ethernet to 1 Gbps
