Managing Modules
This chapter describes the management tasks that can be performed on the modules in the
Cisco 12000/10720 internet router being managed using the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager
application.
The following modules can be managed using the Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager:
•
•
•
GRPs
Line cards—ATM, Ethernet, SRP, POS, DS-3, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
Supporting modules—CSCs, SFCs, AC or DC power supply modules, fan tray modules, blower
modules, alarm modules and bus board
This chapter contains the following sections:

Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Module Names
The naming convention used in Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager for line cards, GRPs, CSCs, and
SFCs is an abbreviated form of the type of module, followed by the slot number of the module. For
example, an ATM line card in slot 6 is called A6, and a POS line card in slot 3 is called P3.
Table 5-1 identifies each module type and its respective abbreviation in Cisco 12000/10720 Router
Manager.
