or remote AT-CM Line Cards.

22

AT-S99 Management Software

The AT-CV5M02 Management Card uses the AT-S99 Management
Software. This program comes pre-installed on the card with default
values for all of the operating parameters. New versions of the software
can be downloaded onto the card using XMODEM or Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP), as explained in Chapter 11, ”Uploading and Downloading
Files” on page 315.

Console Port

The management card has an RS-232 Console port for local management
of a Converteon chassis with a terminal or a personal computer and a
terminal emulator program. The initial management session of the
management card has to be a local session. For instructions, refer to
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 72.

Converteon Management Software User’s Guide

10/100Base-TX Port

The management card has a standard 10/100Base-TX port for
communicating with your network. This port has to be connected to a
network device, such as a Fast Ethernet switch, if the management card
will be performing any of these management functions:

 Supporting remote Telnet, web browser, or SNMP management

 Sending event messages to a syslog server

 Setting the date and time from a Network Time Protocol server

 Sending SNMP traps to trap receivers

 Uploading or downloading files to a TFTP server

 Pinging remote devices

IP Address Configuration

The management card must have an IP address configuration to perform
the functions listed in “10/100Base-TX Port.” The configuration consists of
an IP address, a subnet mask, and possibly a default gateway address.
The management card can have only one IP address configuration. The
configuration can be assigned manually or supplied by a DHCP or BOOTP
server on your network. For instructions, refer to “Assigning an IP Address
Configuration” on page 100.

23

Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card

Event Log

The management card has a log for recording operational events, like the
removal of line cards from the chassis or the loss of links on the ports on
the media converter cards. The events are composed of descriptions of
the events and the dates and times of when they occurred. If your network
encounters a problem, you may be able to more readily identify its cause
by reviewing the history of the events in the log. For more information,
refer to “Viewing the Event Log” on page 122.

Activity Monitor

The activity monitor displays the same event messages stored in the
event log, but in real-time. When you open the activity monitor you can
watch the event messages as they occur. For more information, refer to
“Viewing the Activity Monitor” on page 130.

Syslog Client

The management card has a syslog client for sending the event messages
to a syslog server on your network. For instructions, refer to “Configuring
the Syslog Client” on page 131.

Network Time Protocol Client

The management card has a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client for
setting its date and time from an NTP server on your network or the
Internet. The card adds the date and time to the event messages stored in
the event log and to the SNMP traps sent to SNMP trap receivers.
Although the date and time can be set manually, the NTP client is the
recommended method for setting this information because the card
cannot maintain the date and time when it is reset or when the chassis is
powered off. For instructions, refer to “Configuring the Network Time
Protocol Client” on page 117.

24

Manager and Operator Accounts

The management software has two accounts. There is a manager account
for viewing and configuring the parameter settings and an operator
account for just viewing the settings. The manager account has the
username “manager” and the default password “friend”, and the operator
account has the username “operator” and the default password “operator”.
The usernames and passwords are case sensitive. For the instructions on
changing the passwords, refer to “Configuring the Management Security”
on page 111.

To change to a different account after you’ve started a management
session, you have to log out from your current session and log in again.
For example, if you log on using the operator account and afterwards want
to configure the parameter settings of the line cards, you have to log out of
the operator account and log in again with the manager account.

Note

The management card can support up to one manager session and
ten operator sessions at the same time.

Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card

Management Access

There are four ways to manage the Converteon product:

 Local management

 Remote Telnet management

 Remote web browser management

 Remote SNMP management

Management

The AT-CV5M02 Management Card has an RS-232 Console port for local
(out-of-band) management. This type of management, which has to be
performed at the chassis, hence the term “local,” is accomplished with the
management cable that ships with the card and a terminal or a PC with a
terminal emulator program. The management card does not need an IP
address for local management. Your initial management session of a
management card has to be a local session. For instructions, refer to
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 72.

The management card has a Telnet server for remote management from
Telnet clients on your network. Because this type of management is
performed over the network, you may find it more convenient than local
management, which has to be performed in the wiring closet where the
chassis is located. Remote Telnet management, also referred to as in­band management, uses the same menus as local management and
supports all of the same management capabilities. The requirements for
remote Telnet managed are detailed in “Accessing Your Network” on
page 31. For further instructions, refer to “Starting a Telnet Management
Session” on page 75.

The AT-CV5M02 Management Card can also be managed from a web
browser on a network workstation. This is an alternative to the menus and
it supports nearly all of the same management functions. The
requirements for remote web browser management are detailed in
“Accessing Your Network” on page 31. To start this type of management
session, refer to “Starting a Web Browser Management Session” on
page 76.

26

Note

The web browser windows are supported on the AT-CV5000
Chassis, but not on the AT-CV1200 or AT-CV1203 Chassis.

Converteon Management Software User’s Guide

SNMP

Management

The management card can be managed with a Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) program, like HP Openview. This type of
management requires a familiarity with Management Information Bases
(MIBs). To manage the product with SNMP, you have to load and compile
the ATCV5000.mib file, found on the Allied Telesis web site, into your
SNMP program.

27

Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card

Active and Standby Management Cards

The AT-CV5000 Chassis can have two AT-CV5M02 Management Cards.
The second card functions as a backup card should the primary
management card fail or have to be removed from the chassis.

When the AT-CV5000 Chassis has two management cards, one of the
cards functions as the active card. The other is placed in a standby mode.
Your local and remote management sessions have to be performed
through the active card. You can discern the states of the cards by
examining their RDY LEDs. On the active card this LED will be on; it will
be off on the standby card.

The management cards automatically determine their active and standby
states when the chassis is powered on. Their states are based on their
chassis slot numbers. The management card in the lower numbered slot
acts as the active card and the card in the higher numbered slot functions
as the standby card. For example, if two management cards are installed
in slots 3 and 5 of the chassis, the card in slot 3 becomes the active card
and the card in slot 5 is the standby card.

The standby card continuously monitors the state of the active card over
the backplane inside the AT-CV5000 Chassis. If the active card fails, is
reset or is removed from the chassis, the standby card automatically
transitions to the active state, usually within twenty seconds.

If a second management card is installed while the chassis is powered on,
the new management card is placed in the standby mode, even if it
occupies a lower numbered slot than the active management card.
However, if the chassis is later power cycled or the active card is reset, the
management card in the lower numbered slot becomes the active card.

The management software has an option to force the two management
cards to change states. You might choose to use this option if the active
card is experiencing difficulties and you want to use the standby card to
perform your management tasks. The switchover, however, is not
permanent. The active and standby states are again determined
according to their slot numbers the next time the chassis is power cycled.
For instructions, refer to “Activating a Standby AT-CV5M02 Management
Card” on page 144.

The requirements and guidelines for redundant AT-CV5M02 Management
Cards are:

28

 There can be only one standby management card in the AT-CV5000

Chassis.

 You can install the active and standby management cards in any of the

slots in the AT-CV5000 Chassis.

Converteon Management Software User’s Guide

 All of your local and remote management sessions have to be

conducted through the active management card

 The RDY LED on the active card will be on. This LED on the standby

card will be off.

 The standby management card automatically transitions to the active

state in about 20 seconds if the active card fails or is removed from the
chassis or reset.

 The network operations of the media converter line cards in the

chassis are not affected when the management cards change states.

 If the standby card transitions to the active state, it uses the same IP

address configuration as the previously active card, because the
standby card and the active card have the same configuration files. For
further information, refer to the “Configuration Files” on page 32.

 The receiver on the 10/100Base-TX port is blocked on the standby

card to prevent the card from communicating with your network and to
prevent an IP address conflict with the active card. However, the
standby card automatically activates the port if it becomes the active
card.

 Even though the 10/100Base-TX port on the standby card is disabled,

you should connect it to your network so that those management
functions that rely on the card’s access to network will be immediately
available in the event the card becomes the active card.

 The Console port is also blocked on the standby card to prevent you

from using the card to manage the chassis. However, by connecting a
terminal to the port you can view the status messages between the
standby card and the active card that are sent over the backplane in
the chassis.

 The active management card automatically updates the configuration

file on the standby card so that the standby card has the same
configuration settings in the event it becomes the active card. For

Note

When installing a second management card into an existing chassis,
you should install it while the chassis is powered on. If the chassis is
powered off, you should install it in a higher numbered slot than the
existing card. If you install a second management card into a lower
numbered slot than the existing card while the chassis is powered
off, the master configuration file of the new card, which will become
the active card, will overwrite the configuration file on the existing
card when you power on the chassis. If the auto-copy settings in the
new master configuration file is enabled for the chassis slots, the
configuration settings of the line cards may change. For further
information, refer to “Configuration Files” on page 32.

Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card

You can monitor the communications between the active management
card and the standby card over the chassis’ backplane by connecting a
personal computer with a terminal emulator program to the Console port
on the standby card. There are Update, Copy, and Heartbeat messages.
Update and Copy messages are sent by the active management card
when updating the master configuration file on the standby card.
Heartbeat messages are generated periodically by the standby card to
check the status of the active card.
