Overview The XpressFiow Switch provides a user-inendiy, menu driven console interface. Using this interface. you can perform various Switch config- uration and management activities, including: Configuring system and port parameters. Assigning an iP address. ' Setting up VLAN policy. Setting up packet ifliers‘ Configuring STP and SNMP parameters. 000000 Upgrading soiiware. m“ . . f' User's Manna! Page 29 Chapter 3, Switch Management Management Methods There are three ways to manage the XpressFlow Switch: 0 Local Console Management via the XpressFIow Switch serial port 0 Remote Console Management via a network ordiai-up connection. 0 Using an SNMP Network Management Station Local Console Management You can manage the XpressFlow Switch locally by connecting a ' VI“! 00 terminal. or a personal computer or workstation with terminal ' ' emulation software. to the XpressFlow Switch serial port. The termi- nal or workstation connects to the XpressFlow serial port using a null modem cable that has the appropriate connectors on each end. This management method is ideal when: 0 The network is unreliable. 0 The Network Manager does not have direct network connection 0 A Network Manager does not support SNMF’. The XpressFlow Switch‘s serial port's deiauil setting is set to auto- baud using a character format of 8 data bits. no parity, and 1 stop bit. Therefore, configure the terminal or workstation to use these settings beiore you log on to the XpressFlow switch. You can change this de- fault setting, it desired, alter you log on. hm“— , Page 30 User's Manual ’ User's Manual Management Methods —_——fi—fi Remote Console Management You can manage the XpressFIow switch remotely by having a remote host establish a Telnet connection to the XpressFIow Switch via an Ethernet or modem link. Using this management method: 0 The host must run a SLIP protocol Ila modem is used. 0 The XpressFlcw Switch must have an internet Protocol (IP) ad- dress (see “Assigning an IP Address to the XpressFlow Switch" on page 32). The Remote Console Management interface Is identical in appear- ance and lunctionallty to the Local Console Management interface - described in the previous section‘ ’ SNMP Management You can manage the XpressFIow Switch across a LAN using an SNMP Network Management Station with a graphical user Interface. This management method lets you monitor statistical counters and set Swltctr parameters from the remote Network Management Station. Using this management method: 0 The network must run the'lP protocol. 0 The XpressFlcw Switch must have an IP address (see "Assigning an IP Address to the XpressFIow Switch" on page 32). “— Page 31 Chapter 3, Switch Management Assigning an IP Address to the XpressFlow Switch To manage the XpressFlow Switch remotely through the console port or with an SNMP Management Station, you must assign an IP ad- dress tu the XpressFlow Switch. For VLAN-Aware switches, you assign IP address through the VLAN management screen. This procedure is described in Chapter 4. Ver- tex recommends you assign an IP address to the default VLAN (VLAN ID = 1) ior Remote Censoie Management and SNMP Network Management. Logging on to the XpressFlow Switch When you log on to the XpressFlow Switch console port for the iirst time. a sign-on string appears and you are prompted for a password. The factory default password is 123456. If you desire, you can change this password after you log on. page 32 Users Manual ' Configuring the XpressFlow Switch The XpressFlow Switch provides a menu-driven console lntertaoe for configuration purposes. The switch can be configured either locally through its res-232 port or remotely via a Telnet session.

Manual x.- L, Overview User‘s Manual SNMP and RMON Management This chapter describes the XpressFIow Switch’s Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote Monitoring (RMON) ca- pabilities. Topics include: 0 Overview—see page 105. 0 SNMP Agent and MIB-2—see page 108. 0 RMON MIB and Bridge MIB—see page 105. RMON is an abbreviation for the tFiemote Monitoring MIB (Manage- ment iniormation Base). FiMON is a system defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) documents RFC 1271 and RFC 1757, which define how networks can be monitored remotely. RMONs typically consist of two components: an RMON probe and a management workstation: - ..,) x: " mu: v“ fit? 7 0 The HMON probe is an intelligent device or software agent that continually ccliects statistics about a LAN segment or VLAN. The FiMON probe transfers the collected data to a management work— ‘ station on request or when a pre-deiined threshold Is reached. 0 The management workstation collects the statistics that the HMON probe gathers The workstation can reside on the same neiworkas the probe. or It can have an In-band or out~oi~band connection to the probe. Chapter 5. SNMP and RMON Management The XpressFIow Switch provides RMON capabilitles that allow net- work administrators to set parameters and view statistical counters delined in MlB-ll, Bridge MIB, and FtMON MIB. RMON activities are performed at a Network Management Station running an SNMP net- work management application with graphical user interface SNMP Agent and MIB-2 (RFC1213) The SNMP Agent running on the Switch Manager CPU is responsible tor: 0 Retrieving MIB counters from various layers of software modules according to the SNMP GET/GET NEXT lrame messages. 0 Setting MIB variables according to the SNMP SET frame mes- sage. 0 Generating an SNMP TRAP frame message to the Network Man- agement Station if the threshold at a certain MIB counter is reached. MlB-2 defines a set of manageable objects in various layers of the TCP/lP protocol suites. MIB-2 covers all manageable objects from layer 1 to layer 4 and, as a result. is the major SNMP MlB supported by all vendors in the networking industry. The XpressFlow Switch supports a complete implementation or SNMP Agent and MIB-2. RMON MIB (RFC 1757), and Bridge MIB (RFC 1493) When frame status messages are generated on the switching bus, a software driver running on the Switch Manager CPU automatically updates the XpressFIow Switch's RMON and other hardware-related MlBtounters. A local SNMP Agent and a remote SNMP Network Management Station using the SNMP protocol can then manipulated these counters. Page 106 User‘s Manual ...mvc.........mw,,..wn v“ RMON MIB (RFC 1757)I and Brldge MIB (RFC 1493) RMON Groups Supported The XpressFIow Switch supports the following RMON MIB groups de- fined in HFC1757: 0 RMON Statistics Group— maintains utilization and error statis- tics tor the switch port being monitored. 0 RMON History Group -— gathers and stores periodic statistical samples lrorn the previous Statistics Group. 0 HMON Alarm Group——allows a network administrator to detine alarm thresholds for any MIB variable. An alarm can be associ- ated with Low Threshold, High Threshold. or both. A trigger can trigger an alarm when the value of a specific MIB v'ariable ex- ceeds a threshold, falls below a threshold, or exceeds or lalls be- low a threshold 0 RMON Event Group— allows a network administrator to define actions based on alarms. SNMP Traps are generated when RMON Alarms are triggered The action taken in the Network Management Station depends on the specific network manage- ment application. Bridge Groups Supported The XpressFlow Switch supports the following four groups of Bridge MIB (RFC14_93): 0 The dot1dBase Group— a mandatory groUp that contains the objects appllcabie to all types of bridges. 0 The dottdStp Group-contains the objects that denote the bridge’s state with respect to the Spanning Tree Protocol. It a node does not implement the Spanning Tree Protocol, this group will not be implemented. This group ls applicable to any transpar- ent only, source route, or SRT bridge that implements the Span- ning Tree Protocol. User's Manual Page 107" Chapter 5. SNMP and RMON Management 0 The dotldTp Group —conrains objects that describe the entity's transparent bridging status‘ This group is applicable to transpar- ent operation only and SRT bridges. 0 The dcndStalic Group— contalns objects that describe the en- tity‘s destlnation-address filtering status. This group ls applicable to any type of bridge whlch performs destinatipmaddress filtering. M.
