Cisco Optical Site Manager Topology

This chapter describes the different Cisco Optical Site Manager views. In this chapter, you will also learn to create new racks.

Cisco Optical Site Manager Views

The COSM Topology page helps you access the topology in two different views:

  • The Rack View

  • The Table View

The rack or table view allows you to view and manage the NCS 1004, NCS 1014, and NCS 1010 nodes.

You can display or hide the left panel in either view by using the toggle button on the top-right of the COSM topology page.

Rack View

The left panel of the rack view contains the list of racks and the NCS 1000 cards. You can navigate to the nodes in the network by clicking the node or chassis name from the expanded rack view in the left panel or by clicking the node from the rack view. When you hover over a node in the rack view, the chassis type and alarm details are displayed. You can zoom in or zoom out the view by clicking the + and - symbols.

Table View

The table view displays the Chassis List table that lists the UIDs of the nodes, rack number, Chassis Type, and Description.

You can navigate to the nodes in the network by clicking the chassis name from the expanded rack view in the left panel or by clicking the ID of the chassis in the Chassis List.
