Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card
The Converteon Product Line
The Converteon product line consists of modular fiber optic media
converters that connect Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet networks across
distances of up to forty kilometers. The major components of the product
line are:
AT-CM Media Converter Line Card Series and the AT-S73
Management Software
AT-CV Media Converter Line Card Series
AT-CV5M01 Management Card and the AT-S70 Management
Software
AT-CV5M02 Management Card and the AT-S99 Management
Software
AT-CV1000, AT-CV1200, AT-CV1203, and AT-CV5000 Chassis
Most of the line cards in the AT-CM Series and the AT-CV Series are two
port media converters that transfer Ethernet network traffic between a
twisted pair port and a fiber optic port or two fiber optic ports. Most of the
line cards have fiber optic ports that have fixed operating distances.
However, several of the cards can be customized for specific transmission
media or distance requirements because they feature one or two slots for
SFP fiber optic transceivers.
The AT-CM and AT-CV Line Cards can be used as unmanaged devices.
They are fully operational as soon as they are installed in a Converteon
chassis and cabled to your network. They feature low latency to minimize
the impact on network performance, and cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
detection to prevent the propagation of incomplete or fragmented packets
on your network.
For network environments where management oversight is necessary, the
Converteon product line includes the AT-CV5M01 and AT-CV5M02
Management Cards. These cards let you view the status of the links of the
ports on the media converter line cards, display port statistics, and
configure the operating modes of the line cards. These cards also let you
configure the additional features on the AT-CM Media Converter Line
Cards, such as port filters and OAM-based features.
The AT-CV5M01 and AT-CV5M02 Management Cards have simple-touse menus and support both local (out-of-band) management through a
serial RS-232 Console port and remote (in-band) management from a
Telnet client. The AT-CV5M02 Card also supports remote web browser
management.
20
AT-S73 and AT-S99 Management Software User’s Guide
AT-CV5M01 and AT-CV5M02 Management Cards
The AT-CV5M02 Management Card and its predecessor, the AT-CV5M01
Management Card, support many of the same features and management
functions. Both cards let you locally or remotely monitor the status of the
AT-CM and AT-CV Media Converter Line Cards, configure the operating
modes of the line cards, and adjust the port parameters and the OAMbased features on the AT-CM Line Cards. The two management cards
share the features listed here:
Local (out-of-band) management through an RS-232 Console port.
Remote (in-band) management using the card’s Telnet server from
clients on your network.
Easy-to-use menus.
Event log for viewing operational messages about the line cards.
Activity monitor for viewing the event messages in real-time.
Syslog client for storing the event messages on a syslog server on
your network.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) client for setting the card’s date and time
from an NTP server on your network or the Internet.
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) client for assigning the
management card’s IP address configuration from a BOOTP or DHCP
server on your network.
The AT-CV5M02 Management Card has these additional features:
Remote (in-band) management using the card’s web browser server
from web browser clients on your network.
Redundant management cards in the AT-CV5000 Chassis.
Manual or automatic restoration of previous parameter configurations
on local or remote AT-CM Line Cards.
Note
For instructions on how to use the AT-CV5M01 Management Card
and the AT-S70 Management Software, refer to the AT-S70
Management Software User’s Guides.
21
Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card
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 271.
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 a
management card has to be a local session. For instructions, refer to
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 58.
10/100Base-TX Port
To support those management functions that require communications with
your network, the management card comes with a standard 10/100BaseTX Ethernet port, which features IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation. Those
management functions that rely on this port are listed here:
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
If the management card will be performing any of these task, be sure to
connect the 10/100Base-TX Ethernet port to a network device, such as an
Ethernet switch.
22
IP Address Configuration
To support the functions listed in “10/100Base-TX Port” the management
card has to be assigned an IP address configuration consisting 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 80.
Event Log
The management card has a log for recording operational events, like the
removal of line cards from a 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 98.
AT-S73 and AT-S99 Management Software User’s Guide
Activity Monitor
Syslog Client
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 for
the event messages as they occur. For more information, refer to “Viewing
the Activity Monitor” on page 104.
The management card has a syslog client for sending event messages to
a syslog server on your network. For instructions, refer to “Configuring the
Syslog Client” on page 105.
23
Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card
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 95.
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”. 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 Management Security” on
page 90.
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, to configure the parameter settings of the line cards after
logging on with the operator account, you have to log out and log in again
with the manager account.
Note
A management card can support up to one manager session and
ten operator sessions at a time.
24
Management Access
There are four ways to manage the Converteon product:
Local management
Remote Telnet management
Remote web browser management
Remote SNMP management
AT-S73 and AT-S99 Management Software User’s Guide
Local
Management
Remote Telnet
Management
Remote Web
Browser
Management
The AT-CV5M02 Management Card has an RS-232 Console port for local
(out-of-band) management. This type of management has to be performed
at the chassis, hence the term “local.” It 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 58.
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 at 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 “Access to Your Network” on
page 28. For further instructions, refer to “Starting a Telnet Management
Session” on page 61.
The AT-CV5M02 Management Card has web browser windows that you
can use as alternatives to the menus for managing the device remotely
from a web browser on your workstation on the network. They support
nearly all of the same management functions as the menus. The
requirements for remote web browser management are detailed in
“Access to Your Network” on page 28. To start this type of management
session, refer to “Starting a Web Browser Management Session” on
page 62.
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, load and compile the
ATCV5000.mib file, found on the Allied Telesis web site, into your SNMP
program.
25
Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card
Redundant Management Cards
You can install two AT-CV5M02 Management Cards in the AT-CV5000
Chassis. 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 or is
reset or 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 117.
The requirements and guidelines for redundant AT-CV5M02 Management
Cards are:
26
This feature is not supported on the AT-CV5M01 Management Card.
There can be only one redundant management card.
You can install the active and standby management cards in any of the
slots in the AT-CV5000 Chassis.
AT-S73 and AT-S99 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. The LED will be off on the
standby card.
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.
The active and standby management cards use the same IP address
configuration.
To prohibit local or remote management through the standby card, the
Console port and the receiver on the 10/100Base-TX port on the card
are blocked. However, you can view status messages from the
Console port of the standby management card.
Even though the 10/100Base-TX port is blocked on the standby card,
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 two management cards maintain identical master configuration
files. For information, refer to “Configuration Files” on page 29.
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 29.
Status Messages You can monitor the communications between the active and standby
management cards 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.
27
Chapter 1: AT-CV5M02 Management Card
Access to Your Network
The management card must be able to access your network if it will be
performing any of these 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
The requirements for these management functions are listed here:
The management card must have an IP address configuration. The
configuration can be assigned manually or supplied by a BOOTP or
DHCP server on your network. For instructions, refer to “Assigning an
IP Address Configuration” on page 80.
The card’s 10/100Base-TX port has to be connected to a device on
your network, such as an Ethernet switch. The management card
communicates with your network through that port.
The management card should reside on the same subnet as the
remote devices (i.e., Telnet client, syslog server, or SNMP trap
receivers) or have access to their subnet through routers or other
Layer 3 routing devices.
If the management card and the remote devices reside on different
subnets, the card’s IP address configuration should include a default
gateway address that specifies the IP address of the router interface of
the first hop to reaching the remote devices.
28
Configuration Files
AT-S73 and AT-S99 Management Software User’s Guide
The management card and the media converter line cards store their
parameter settings in a series of configuration files. These files enable the
cards to retain their settings even when they are removed from the chassis
or when the chassis is powered off.
AT-CM Line
Cards
AT-CV Line
Cards
AT-CV5M02
Management
Card
The parameter settings of the AT-CM Line Cards are stored in the
configuration files in flash memory on the cards. The files contain the
operating modes, the port settings, the ingress and egress filters, and the
OAM client settings of the line cards.
The cards automatically update their configuration files when you change
a parameter setting. There is no command that you have to perform. For
example, if you adjust the OAM settings on a line card, the card
automatically updates its configuration file so that it retains the new
settings even if you immediately afterwards remove the card and install it
in another slot or chassis.
The configuration files on the AT-CV Line Cards operate the same as the
files on the AT-CM Line Cards. The AT-CV Line Cards, however, have
only one adjustable parameter, the operating mode. So their configuration
files contain just that one parameter. These configuration files are also
automatically updated when you change the operating modes of these line
cards through a management card.
The AT-CV5M02 Management Card has two master configuration files.
These files contain the settings of the management card and all of the line
cards in the chassis. The management card stores one of the master
configuration files in DRAM and automatically updates it by constantly
polling the line cards over the backplane in the chassis for their current
parameter settings. This file is temporary because it is discarded
whenever the chassis is powered off or the management card is reset or
removed from the chassis.
The second master configuration file on the AT-CV5M02 Management
Card is stored in flash memory and so is retained even when the chassis is
powered off. This master configuration file, however, is not updated
automatically. Instead, you have to instruct the management card to do it
by issuing one of the save commands. When you enter a save command,
the management card copies the master configuration file in DRAM to
flash memory for permanent storage. For information on the save
commands, refer to “Saving Your Configuration Changes” on page 64.
Here are the steps that the management card and the line cards perform
when one of their parameter settings is changed.
1. When you enter a new setting on a line card, the management card

seconds.
copies the master configuration file from DRAM to flash memory.
Note
Unless stated otherwise, all future references to the master
configuration file in this guide refer to the permanent file in flash
memory on the management card.
Restoring
Configurations to
AT-CM Line
Cards
As just explained, the parameter settings of the AT-CM Line Cards are
stored in two locations— the configuration files on the individual line cards
and the master configuration file on the management card. The purpose of
this redundancy is to make replacing line cards easier. In the event a line
card has to be replaced, you can assign the new card the same
configuration as its predecessor by restoring the previous configuration
from the master configuration file on the management card. This relieves
you from having to manually configure new line cards.
A previous configuration of a line card can be restored either automatically
or manually. The former is referred to as auto-copy. This is set on a per-slot basis. A line card in a slot where auto-copy is enabled always obtains
its parameter settings from the master configuration file on the
management card. Thus, a replacement card is automatically assigned
the same settings as its predecessor.
You can also restore previous configurations manually. Although a line
card in a slot where auto-copy is disabled uses the parameter settings in
its individual configuration file, you can manually command the
management card to send the previous configuration to the line card.
Here is an overview of the configuration process of an AT-CM Line Card
when a card is installed in an active chassis or when a chassis is powered
on:
30
1. The AT-CM Line Card initializes its AT-S73 Management Software, a
process that takes approximately one minute to complete. During this
process the line card uses the default values for its parameter settings
to forward network traffic through its ports.
