Agent Configuration
This chapter provides you with information for managing your agent. The following sections are included:
Overview of Master Agent and Sub Agents - Provides information about master and sub agents.
Overview of Agent Configuration- Provides information about the Agent Configuration.
Viewing Agent Configuration Information- Provides information about viewing the Agent Information window.
Designating Managers - Provides information about viewing the Manager’s list.
* Note: To ensure that your network or Avaya M770 ATM Device
works properly, your network agent must be configured correctly.
Overview of Master Agent and Sub Agents
The Avaya M770 ATM Device is a fully distributed switch. Each module has its own switching and CPU power supply. In order to present the device as a single and united entity, one module is automatically elected as a Master Agent while the other modules are Sub Agents. The NMA (Network Management Agent) LED is lit on the elected Master Agent module.
The Master Agent hosts the Management LEC with all of its functionality including the device’s IP Address and switch-wide information.
All the information configured on the Master Agent is backed up by the Sub Agents. If the Master Agent is removed or reset, another module is elected, and all previous configuration settings are saved.

Overview of Agent Configuration
The Master Agent manages the modules contained in the devices. The Master Agent enables handling many of the Avaya M770 ATM Manager features including:
Statistical reporting
Configuration information
Trap reporting
If your agent is not properly configured for your network or cannot communicate with Avaya MultiService Network Manager, your network will not achieve its maximum functionality. Therefore, it is essential that your agent is configured correctly.
Downloading New Agent Software
Download agent software using the Avaya MultiService Software Update Manager. For instructions, refer to the on-line help for the Avaya MultiService Software Update Manager, or the Avaya MultiService Software Update Manager User’s Guide.

Designating Managers
Agents send alarms to Manager workstations that are included in the agent's Manager list. Alarms are not sent to any other network management stations (NMS).
To properly manage an ATM device, your station should be one of its designated Managers. The Manager can be an A vaya M770 A TM Manager station or any other SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) management console.
* Note: Refer to the Avaya M770 ATM User’s Guide for a method of
editing the Managers list using the command line interface.
