Chapter 1: Starting a Command Line Management Session

Management Overview

The discussions in this section review the basic characteristics of the management software for the AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Series.
AT-S85 and
AT-S97
Management
Software
Features of the
AT-S97
Management
Software
The modules in the AT-MCF2000 Series use two different operating systems. The AT-MCF2000M Management Module uses the AT-S97 Management Software and the AT-MCF2000 Media Converter Module Series, such as the AT-MCF2012LC and AT-MCF2012LC/1 Modules, use the AT-S85 Management Software.
All of your commands must be entered through the AT-S97 Management Software on the management module. Commands intended for a media converter module are automatically transferred by the management module to the appropriate module in the chassis or stack.
Version 2.0.0 of the AT-S97 Management Software has the following features:
Control over the operating parameters of the twisted pair and fiber
optic ports of the media converter channels, including:
– Auto-Negotiation
– Speed
– Duplex mode
– MDI/MDI-X configuration
Selection of a channel’s operating mode:
16
– MissingLink™
– Smart MissingLink
– Link Test
Rate limits for the ingress and egress packets on the ports of the
media converter channels.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) client for setting the system’s date and
time from a NTP server on your network or the Internet.
Stacking of up to eight AT-MCF2000 Chassis and 16 media converter
modules.
Telnet server for remote management without encryption from a
management station on your network.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to manage a media
converter by viewing and changing the management information base (MIB) objects on the device
Secure Shell (SSH) server for remote management with encryption.
AT-S85 and AT-S97 Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide
Event log for monitoring the operations of the modules.
Syslog client for transmitting event messages to a Syslog server.
AT-S97
Command Line
Interface
Manager
Privilege Levels
The AT-S97 Management Software has a command line interface which can be accessed either locally through the RS-232 Terminal Port on the management module or remotely from your network using the Telnet or Secure Shell application protocol. To access the interface, you must log on to the management module with a valid manager name and password.
Note
The first management session of the chassis must be from a local management session. For instructions, refer to “Starting a Local Management Session” on page 20.
The management software has three manager privilege levels:
administrator
read-write
read-only
The privilege level of administrator is restricted to the management module’s predefined manager account, which has the user name of “manager” and the default password “friend.
Saving Your
Configuration
Changes
The management module can support ten additional manager accounts with the privilege level of read-write and another ten accounts of read-only. The read-write level is nearly identical to the administrator level of the predefined manager account. It provides access to almost all of the same parameters settings, with a few exceptions, detailed in Chapter 14, “Manager Account Commands” on page 215. In contrast, the read-only privilege level restricts a network administrator to just viewing the parameter settings.
The privilege level required to perform a command is included in the descriptions of the commands in this manual.
Note
Only the predefined manager account can have the privilege level of administrator.
The configuration settings of the management and media converter modules of a chassis or stack are stored in a series of files called configuration files in the modules’ file systems. The most important of these files is the active master configuration file on the management module, which, as its name implies, contains all of the settings of a chassis or stack. What the configuration files do is they retain the parameter
17
Chapter 1: Starting a Command Line Management Session
settings of the modules when a unit is power cycled or reset. Without the files, you would have to reconfigure the modules whenever you reset a device.
The modules do not automatically update their configuration files and the active master configuration file when you change a device’s parameter, such as the speed of a port on a media converter module. Instead, you must initiate the update with the CONFIG SAVE command. This command instructs all the modules in a chassis, or stack, to update their configuration files to match their current settings. You should always perform this command after adjusting the parameter settings of the modules. Otherwise, your changes are discarded when you reset or power cycle the unit.
Note
Many of the chapters in this guide have a note on the first page reminding you to update the configuration files with the CONFIG SAVE command after entering your parameter changes.
Setting Chassis
ID Numbers
For further information on configuration files and the CONFIG SAVE command, refer to Chapter 9, “Configuration File Commands” on page
141.
Commands that configure or display the parameters on a media converter module must include a chassis ID number. This parameter identifies the chassis with the media converter module. For example, to configure a port on a media converter module with the SYSTEM SET PORT command, you must include in the command the chassis ID of the unit with the module. See Figure 1.

Figure 1. Chassis ID Jumper on the AT-MCF2000M Management Module
AT-S85 and AT-S97 Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide
The ID number for a chassis is set with a jumper on the management module, shown in Figure 1 on page 18. The chassis ID number for a management module is either 0 or 31. The default setting is 0.
Within a stack, you assign the management module on the master unit with a chassis ID of 0. You assign all of the AT-MCF2000S Stacking modules on the slave chassis with a chassis ID of 1 through 30. For more information about stacking, see Chapter 2, “Stacking” on page 35.
To view the ID number of a chassis, issue this command:
system show cluster
For further information, see “Displaying the Chassis Modules” on page 28 or “SYSTEM SHOW CLUSTER” on page 99.

Starting a Local Management Session

Note
Local management sessions do not require an IP configuration on the AT-MCF2000M Management Module.
To start a local management session on the chassis, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the DIN-8 connector on the RS-232 Serial Management Cable included with the AT-MCF2000M Management Module to the RS-232 Terminal port on the module, as shown in Figure 2.

Note
The prompt “Hit any key to stop autoboot,” displayed on the console when the management module is reset or power cycled, is for manufacturing purposes only and should be ignored. If you inadvertently display the manufacturing prompt (=>), type “bootapp” to launch the management software on the management module.
4. Press Enter.
You are prompted for a user name and password.
5. Enter a user name and password. The management module has a predefined manager account with the privilege level of administrator. The account provides unlimited access to all the parameters on the management and media converter modules. To log in using this account, enter “manager” as the user name. The default password for the account is “friend.” The user name and password are case sensitive.
After you have logged in, the management software displays the command line interface, shown in Figure 3.

Chapter 1: Starting a Command Line Management Session

Starting a Remote Telnet or Secure Shell Management Session

Review the following guidelines before starting a remote Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) management session:
The AT-MCF2000M Management Module must have an IP
configuration. For instructions, refer to Chapter 4, “IP Configuration Commands” on page 47.
The 10/100/1000Base-T Management port on the management
module must be connected to a device on your network, such as a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet switch. Remote management sessions are conducted through this port.
The Telnet server or SSH server on the management module must be
enabled. For instructions, refer to Chapter 11, “Telnet Server Commands” on page 195 or Chapter 13, “Secure Shell Server (SSH) Commands” on page 209.
The remote Telnet or SSH client must be a member of the same
network as the management module or have access to it through Layer 3 routing devices.
If the management module and the remote Telnet or SSH client reside
on different networks, the IP configuration on the module must include a default gateway address specifying the IP address of the routing interface of the first hop to reaching the remote client. For instructions, refer to Chapter 4, “IP Configuration Commands” on page 47.
The management module can support 20 Telnet and 20 SSH
management sessions, simultaneously.
To start a remote Telnet or SSH management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Enter the IP address of the AT-MCF2000M Management Module in the Telnet or SSH client on the remote workstation.
The management software prompts you for a user name and password.
2. Enter a user name and password. The management module has a predefined manager account with the privilege level of administrator and unlimited access to all of the parameters on the management and media converter modules. To log in using this account, enter “manager” as the user name. The default password for the account is “friend.” The user name and password are case sensitive.
22
The local management session starts and the command line interface prompt is displayed, as shown in Figure 3 on page 21.

Chapter 1: Starting a Command Line Management Session

SNMP Management Session

You can also manage the AT-MCF2000 chassis remotely using an Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management program such as HP Openview. This method, however, does not use the management interface.
To manage the chassis from a management workstation using an SNMP management program, you need to load the Management Information Base (MIB) file, atMCF2000.mib, that was included with the AT-S85 and AT-S97 software onto the management workstation. (The MIB file is available from the Allied Telesis web site.)
This requires that you use a MIB compiler to compile the file. A familiarity with MIB objects is necessary for this type of management. To load the MIB file onto a management workstation, follow the instructions included with your MIB compiler. For instructions on how to compile the MIB file with your SNMP program, refer to your SNMP management documentation.
To establish a SNMP management session for a unit that is remotely managed, the chassis must have a management card and an IP address. Before performing the SNMP management session, note the followings:
The 10/100Base-TX port on the management card must be connected
to the network.
The remote management workstation must reach the chassis through
the subnet of the management card.
24

Quitting a Management Session

To quit a management session, enter Exit at the command prompt. You should always exit from a management session when you are finished managing a media converter. This can prevent unauthorized individuals from making changes to a unit’s configuration if you leave your management station unattended. For information about how to use the console timer to automatically disconnect a management session, refer to “SYSTEM SET CONSOLE” on page 61.
Note
Failure to properly exit from a management session may block future management sessions until the console timer times out. For information on the console timer, refer to “SYSTEM SET CONSOLE” on page 61.

Chapter 1: Starting a Command Line Management Session

What to Configure First

This section has a few suggestions on what to configure when you are managing the chassis for the first time. The initial management session must be a local session. For instructions on how to start a local management session, refer to “Starting a Local Management Session” on page 20.
Note
Although the management module comes with the default IP address of 10.0.0.1 and subnet mask of 255.255.252.0, the initial configuration must be a local session because the module’s Telnet and SSH servers are initially disabled.

After logging on, enter this command:
system show cluster
The command displays the management and media converter modules in the chassis. You can use this information to verify the modules in the unit. An example is shown in Figure 4.

For information about this command, refer to “SYSTEM SHOW CLUSTER” on page 99.
AT-S85 and AT-S97 Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide
Note
To avoid possible compatibility problems between the management module and the media converter modules, Allied Telesis recommends that all modules in a chassis or stack use the same version of the AT-S85 and AT-S97 Management Software. If the modules shown in the SYSTEM SHOW CLUSTER command have different versions, you should upgrade the operating software on the modules. For instructions, Chapter 10, “File System Commands” on page 165.
Changing the
Manager
Password
Creating a
Master
Configuration
File
Because the default password for the predefined manager account is included in this document, which is posted on our web site where anyone with a web browser can see it, you should change the password as part of the initial configuration to protect the unit from unauthorized access. To change the password, enter this command:
user set username=manager password
You are prompted to change the password. A password can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters and is case sensitive. Special characters, including spaces, question marks, and quotation marks, are permitted. You are prompted twice to verify the new password.
For information on how to create additional manager accounts, refer to Chapter 14, “Manager Account Commands” on page 215.
This step creates a master configuration file in the file system on the management module. The module uses the file to store your parameter changes. Without the file, the module cannot save your parameter settings and you will have to reenter them if you reset or power cycle the chassis.
This task has two steps. The first step creates the file with the CONFIG SAVE FILESYSTEM command. The format of the command is:
config save filesystem=system://
The chassis variable is the ID number of the chassis. A chassis with a management module installed has a chassis ID of 0 or 31. This value is set with a jumper on the circuit board of the module. The chassis ID of a chassis with a stacking module is 1 through 30. The value is also set manually on the stacking module.To view this number, use the SYSTEM SHOW CLUSTER command.
The slot variable specifies the chassis slot that has the management module, signified by the letter “m.”
chassis/slot/filename
.cfg
29
Chapter 1: Starting a Command Line Management Session
And, finally, filename.cfg is the filename for the new master configuration file. The name can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters, not including the extension. Spaces are allowed, but a name with spaces must be enclosed in double quotes.
This example of the command creates the new master configuration file “mcf_chassis0.cfg” on a management module in a chassis with an ID number of 0:
config save filesystem=system://0/m/mcf_chassis0.cfg
For further information on this command, refer to “CONFIG SAVE FILESYSTEM” on page 158.
Now that you have created the master configuration file, you are ready to perform the second step and designate it as the module’s active master configuration file. This directs the management module to the appropriate master configuration file when saving your changes. (In some cases, the management module might have more than one master configuration file, such as a history of past configuration files, but only one of the files can be active at a time.) The command for designating the active master configuration file is the CONFIG SET command. Here is the format:
config set filesystem=system://
chassis/slot/filename
.cfg
The definitions of the variables in this command are the same as in the CONFIG SAVE FILESYSTEM command. Here is an example of the command that designates the “mcf_chassis1.cfg” file created in the previous command as the management module’s active configuration file:
config set filesystem=system://0/m/mcf_chassis1.cfg
Configuration filenames in both the CONFIG SAVE FILESYSTEM and CONFIG SET commands are case sensitive. For more information on this command, refer to “CONFIG SET” on page 160.
This completes the procedure for creating and designating a new active master configuration file on the management module. The management module can now save your parameter changes when you issue the CONFIG SAVE command.
