This manual covers Local Management conﬁguration of the CyberSWITCH CSX400, CSX400-DC, and CSX500; and HSIM-W6 and HSIM-W84, as these devices share common component interfaces.

This manual covers version 02.01.XX or greater, until superseded by a later version manual. For devices running version 01.XX.XX, please refer to the previous manual, part number 9032672-02. This image adds ISDN backup support to the CSX400 and the automatic call backup support for the WPIM-S/T. A major feature of V 2.01.XX FW is the additional mode in Frame Relay so each DLCI can be a MIB II interface. The RFC for Frame Relay DTEs (RFC 2115) is fully supported. The latest version of the ANSI Frame Relay speciﬁcation is fully supported (ANSI T1-617D 1994). This also changes the FR MIB LMI type to ANSI 1994. Version 2.01.XX also supports RIP2, and the “show” command in MIB Navigation has been updated.

WAN Features

Some of the WAN features are listed and explained here, while others can be found in the

QuickSET Conﬁguration Guide

Systems web site for the manuals.

WAN Protocols

The HSIM or CyberSWITCH interface supports ISDN BRI, which encapsulates PPP. For more information, refer to the host platform manual and the Release Notes included with the host platform for a list of current supported protocols.

ISDN BRI is a switched Data Link layer control protocol that uses digital signaling to place a call into an ISDN network. Once the call is made, PPP is then used to transfer data.

PPP is a Data Link layer, industry-standard WAN protocol, used to transfer multi-protocol data trafﬁc over point-to-point connections. With this protocol, options such as security, data compression, and network protocols can be negotiated over the connection.

, which can be found on the QuickSET CD, or on the Cabletron

Frame Relay is a packet-switching data communications protocol that statistically multiplexes many data con v ersations o v er a single transmission link. Data compression allows Frame Relay to negotiate compression over Frame Relay PVCs.

ISDN

ISDN provides inexpensive switched digital access to remote sites. The ISDN BRI standard provides for two high-speed 64-Kbps bearer (B) channels used for voice or data connections and one 16-Kbps signaling data (D) channel used for call setup, signaling, and other information. ISDN allows all types of information to be transmitted including voice, data, fax, and video. Multiple devices can be linked to a single ISDN connection, each having their own telephone number. Two or more channels can be combined into a single larger transmission pipe offering variable transmission speeds.

ISDN Call Backup

The ISDN call backup feature provides a backup link for a remote site or branch ofﬁce when one or more primary WAN interfaces for a frame relay circuit or a nailed-up PPP connection fails. The WPIM-S/T can serve as the backup medium for this primary connection, using the ISDN interfaces to backup any primary interfaces that have been conﬁgured for ISDN call backup.

Local Management User’s Guide 1-3

Page 20

Local Management

The following are reasons to use ISDN call backup:

•

Hardware failure of a nailed-up PPP connection

•

line failure

Use call backup if either of the following conditions exist when using Frame Relay:

•

DLCI circuit fails to connect in a predetermined amount of time.

•

DLCI goes inactive.

The following is one circumstance in which it might not be advisable to use call backup:

•

When going point-to-multipoint, setting backup on the head-end side is not recommended. If any DLCI fails, the backup would be activated. This may be cost prohibitive.

Call Backup Topology

In Call Backup topology, two channels are connected, but one of them is a Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC) that is only activated upon failure of the primary channel. The primary channel is a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) running Frame Relay or PPP. The Backup channel is either ISDN BRI or PPP.

Table 1-1

shows the supported conﬁgurations at the initial release of the call backup feature.

Local Management Overview

Spooﬁng

The concept of mimicking correct responses to keep level requests alive at the local end of a temporarily broken connection is called connection (or call) spooﬁng. Call spooﬁng saves connect time charges by allowing the call to be disconnected without causing the NOS to time-out the client/host connection.

Cabletron Systems Local Management is a management tool that allows a network manager to perform the following tasks:

•

Conﬁgure interconnected devices to form a network.

•

Monitor the performance of the network.

•

Control user access to the network and its components for the purpose of security.

Management Agent

The management agent is a process within the HSIM or CyberSWITCH that collects information about the operational performance of the managed network. Local Management communicates with the management agent for the purpose of issuing management commands to network devices.

Local vs. Remote Management

Network management applications can be deﬁned as either local or remote applications. A Local Management application resides within the HSIM or CyberSWITCH management agent and is accessible via a TELNET connection through either the EPIM port, or HSIM port of the device.

Remote management applications such as Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM, SPECTRUM Element Manager, or QuickSET run in another device that provides management services. This allows you to perform network management and conﬁguration from a remote location.

Establishing a TELNET Connection

The HSIM or CyberSWITCH is shipped with a temporary IP Address of 192.168.254.254 so that your computer can communicate with it over your Local Area Network (LAN) through a TELNET connection. However, to establish a TELNET connection, your computer must be on the same subnet as the HSIM or CyberSWITCH. Cabletron Systems recommends that you assign a temporary IP Address of 192.168.254.253 to your computer to ensure that both devices are on the same subnet. TELNET connections to the host device require the community name passwords assigned at the SNMP Community Names screen or if you are doing an initial conﬁguration, you can use the default password public.

See the instructions included with the TELNET application for information about

Subnet Mask — This ﬁeld displays the default Subnet Mask, and allows you to enter a ne w v alue

for the Subnet Mask if necessary. Subnets are logical divisions of the network that isolate groups of devices. A subnet mask “masks out” the network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identiﬁes the host. The default subnet mask uses the ﬁrst two portions of the IP address to identify the net id, leaving the rest of the IP address to identify speciﬁc nodes.

• When the management workstations designated to receive SNMP traps reside on the same

network as the HSIM or CyberSWITCH, use the Subnet Mask default setting for the IP address entered on the System Level screen.

• Set a new value for the Subnet Mask when the management w orkstations designated to recei ve

SNMP traps reside on a different subnet (for example, across a gateway or router).

To set a Subnet Mask, refer to Setting the Subnet Mask.

Phys Address — This ﬁeld displays the physical address of the HSIM or CyberSWITCH. You

cannot modify the physical address.

Default Gateway — Use this ﬁeld to enter the IP address for the Default Gateway, intended for

bridging only mode. For routing use a default route entry in your routing table. This ﬁeld contains the IP address of the device to which all packets addressed to an unkno wn network or host are sent. The HSIM or CyberSWITCH relies on a Default Gateway to pro vide the routes to destinations that are not listed in its own IP Forwarding Table, and to forward SNMP traps to a management station. The default setting for this ﬁeld is NONE DEFINED. To set the Default Gateway, refer to Setting

the Default Gateway.

Default Interface — Use this ﬁeld to select the default interface for the HSIM or CyberSWITCH

Default Gateway, intended for bridging only mode. For routing use a default route entry in your routing table. The default interface is the channel which is set up to handle SNMP traps sent to an IP station that is not on the same subnet as the HSIM or CyberSWITCH in an IP routed environment. The default setting for this ﬁeld is NONE DEFINED. To set the default interface for the Default Gateway of the HSIM or CyberSWITCH, refer to Setting the Default Interface.

Selecting a Port for Conﬁguration

Routing Services allows you to choose the ports that you want to conﬁgure for IP routing. To select a router port to conﬁgure for IP routing, complete the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the PORT option.

2. Type in the number of the port that you want to configure for IP routing and then press ENTER.

You can type in the port number, or you can use the +PORT- option at the bottom of

NOTE

the screen to scroll through the list of the ports on your device. To use the +PORT- option, use the arrow keys to highlight the + (to go forward), or the - (to go backward), and then press ENTER to scroll through the available ports in the direction you have selected. You can also use the + and - keys to scroll through the available ports.

If you type in an invalid port number, the error message “PORT NUMBER IS OUT OF RANGE” displays. Perform steps 1 and 2 again.

Entering the IP Address and Subnet Mask

All IP hosts must have an IP Address for each network interface. These addresses identify each network connection.

To enter the IP address for a router port, complete the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the ADDRESS option.

2. Type in the IP address and then press ENTER.

Once an IP address is entered, the default Subnet Mask automatically enters into the Mask ﬁeld. To to change the default Subnet Mask for a router port, complete the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the MASK option.

2. Type in the Subnet Mask for the IP address that you have assigned.

Selecting the Frame Type for a Port

On each port, Frame Type speciﬁes the format of the frame in which IP packets are encapsulated for transmission. The Frame Type options available for each router port are dependent on the type of media supported by that router port. The choices are: Ethernet, SN AP, i8022, Nov ell, Localtalk, Native-wan, Encap-enet, Encap-enet-8022, Encap-enet-snap, Encap-enet-novell, Encap-tokenring-8022, Encap-tokenring-snap, Encap-fddi-8022, Encap-fddi-snap, Other.

Select the Frame Type based on your implementation, for example: Native-wan for router to router communication, and Encap-enet or Encap-enet-snap can be chosen for either router to bridge, or bridge to bridge communication.

2. Enter an MTU value for the media used.

3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen, then press

ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.

Enabling IP Routing Services on a Port

The ability to switch IP Routing Services on and off on a port-by-port basis, provides great ﬂexibility. On the same device, some ports can be routing IP trafﬁc while other ports are bridging it. As you are in transition from a bridged network to a routed network, this ﬂexibility allows you to implement IP routing and test your routing conﬁguration on a port-by-port basis. If necessary, you can temporarily disable the IP routing on any port without losing your conﬁguration, or you can temporarily switch from IP routing back to bridging.

To enable IP Routing Services on a router port, complete the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Routing option under Port Level Setup.

2. Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ENABLED.

3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen, and then

press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.

Enabling IP Forwarding on a Port

By default, IP Forwarding is disabled on each router port. Your device cannot begin forwarding IP data packets on any router port until you enable IP Forwarding on that port.

To enable IP Forwarding on a router port, complete the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Forwarding option.

2. Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ENABLED.

3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen and then

press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.

Conﬁguring the UDP Broadcast Redirector

To locate a server that can provide a particular network service, many IP hosts rely on the use of LAN broadcasts to send UDP service requests. The UDP port number contained in the broadcast request packet identiﬁes the service being requested. Table 1-4 shows the port numbers and their corresponding requested services.

Table 1-4 UDP Port Numbers

UDP Port # UDP Services

37 Time 42 Host Name Server 53 Domain Name Server 65 TACACS-Database Service 67 Bootstrap Protocol/Dynamic Host Control Protocol Server 68 Bootstrap Protocol/Dynamic Host Control Protocol Client 69 Trivial File Transfer 137 NETBIOS Name Server 138 NETBIOS Datagram Server 111 Sunrpc (NIS)

1-38 Local Management User’s Guide

Page 55

IP Configuration Screen

The UDP Broadcast Redirector enables you to conﬁgure any Routing Services enabled device to forward the UDP packets that it receives as LAN broadcasts, directly to the appropriate server. UDP service requests that are sent as LAN broadcasts by clients of applications such as Host Name, Domain Name, and Bootstrap servers, can be redirected to any server on any network segment.

To conﬁgure the UDP Broadcast Redirector, complete the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the UDP Port option under System Level Setup.

2. Enter the UDP port number of the UDP service request packets that you want to redirect (refer

to Table 1-4) and then press ENTER.

3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen and then

press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.

You can type in the UDP port number, or you can use the +REDIRECTOR- option at

NOTE

the bottom of the screen to scroll through a list of commonly used UDP port numbers. To use the +REDIRECTOR- option, use the arrow keys to highlight the + (to go forward), or the - (to go backward), and then press the ENTER key to scroll in the direction that you selected.

The entry for the UDP Port option reﬂects the UDP port number that is currently selected. The entry for UDP Type names the UDP service to which that port number corresponds.

Enabling Proxy ARP on a Port

By default, Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is disabled on all ports, and IP Routing Services respond only to ARP requests addressed to its own IP address.

For one IP host to communicate with another IP host, knowledge of the tar get host’s MAC address must be known. To learn this MAC address, the IP host sends an ARP request packet as a LAN broadcast with the destination IP address of the target IP host. All hosts receive this broadcast and the one host that matches the target IP address responds with its MAC-layer address.

However, because each subnet constitutes a separate broadcast domain and LAN broadcasts are not forwarded across routers, ARP does not work beyond a host’s local network or subnetwork. One of the primary purposes of a router is to conﬁne LAN broadcast trafﬁc to each local network or subnetwork.

Local Management User’s Guide 1-39

Page 56

Local Management

A proxy ARP response is generated when the following occurs:

• Proxy ARP is enabled on a router port.

• An ARP request is received as a LAN broadcast (looking for the MAC-layer address of an IP

host on another network segment).

• An entry exists in the IP Forwarding Table for the destination host’s network.

Enabling Proxy ARP on a router port allows IP hosts to dynamically obtain the MA C-layer address of other IP hosts attached to different networks or subnetworks by using broadcast ARP request packets. With Proxy ARP enabled, IP hosts are not required to maintain knowledge of speciﬁc subnetworks.

To enable Proxy ARP on a router port, complete the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Proxy ARP option.

2. Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ENABLED.

3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen, and then

press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.

Conﬁguring the Network Broadcast Type on a Port

IP Routing Services recognizes and accepts network broadcasts, IP packets with the host portion of the IP address as either all 1’s or all 0’s. Other networking devices only recognize all 0’s as a network broadcast.

To conﬁgure IP Routing Services to send network broadcasts addressed to all 0’s, complete the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Network Bcast option.

2. Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ZEROS.

3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen and then

press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.

IP RIP

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a widely implemented routing protocol that is used extensively on IP internetworks. IP Routing Services uses the RIP routing protocol to send and gather information about the internetwork topology. This information is used to construct and maintain a database called RIP Route Table, which contains the addresses of the available routes to all the networks and hosts that RIP has learned.

1-40 Local Management User’s Guide

Page 57

IP Configuration Screen

Enabling the RIP routing protocol allows IP Routing Services to build and maintain a dynamic database of route information. The best routes learned by the RIP routing protocol are added to the IP Forwarding Table to forward IP packets. The ability to switch the RIP routing protocol on and off on a port-by-port basis provides great ﬂe xibility. On the same device, some router ports can be running the RIP routing protocol while other router ports are not. If necessary , you can temporarily disable the RIP routing protocol on any port without affecting the rest of your conﬁguration.

RIP-2

The following deﬁnitions compare and contrast some of the features of the RIP-1 and RIP-2 protocols.

RIP-1 vs. RIP-2 — A comparison of the features of RIP-1 and RIP-2 protocols (excerpted from

RFC 1722, and RFC 2080) follows: RIP-2 is essentially an extension of RIP-1; it is not a new protocol. It is a superset of the

environments in which RIP-1 has been traditionally used. It should be noted that RIP-2 is not intended to be a substitute for OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol in large autonomous systems. The restrictions on autonomous system diameter and complexity which applied to RIP-1 also apply to RIP-2.

Subnet Masks — RIP-2 allows the smaller, simpler, distance-vector protocol to be used in

environments that require authentication or the use of variable length subnet masks, but are not of a size or complexity that requires the use of the larger, more complex link-state OSPF protocol.

The original impetus behind the creation of RIP-2 was the desire to include subnet masks in the routing information exchanged by RIP, as this was not included in the original deﬁnition of RIP. As long as the subnet mask was ﬁxed for a network, and well kno wn by all the nodes on that netw ork, a heuristic could be used to determine if a route was a subnet route or a host route.

The inclusion of the subnet mask in RIP-2 effectively creates a 64-bit address, which eliminates the network, subnet, and host distinction. Therefore the inclusion of a subnet mask in RIP-2 allo ws it to be used in an autonomous system which requires precise knowledge of the subnet mask for a given route, but does not otherwise require OSPF protocol.

Next Hop — Entries in RIP-2 routing tables always have a Next Hop ﬁeld. The Next Hop is the

IPv6address of the next router along the path to the destination. The purpose of the Next Hop in the routing table is to prevent packets from being routed through extra hops in the system. The limitation of a maximum network diameter of 15 hops for the Next Hop ﬁeld is common to both RIP-1 and RIP-2. This statement of the limit assumes that a cost of 1 is used for each network (see Metrics, below).

Local Management User’s Guide 1-41

Page 58

Local Management

Metrics — The RIP-1 and RIP-2 protocols use ﬁxed “metrics” to compare alternativ e routes. This

is not appropriate where routes need to be chosen based on real-time parameters such as measured delay, reliability, or load. RIP is intended to allow routers to exchange information for computing routes through an IPv6-based network. Any router that uses RIP is assumed to have interfaces to one or more networks, otherwise it isn’t a router. These are referred to as directly connected networks.

The RIP protocol relies on access to certain information about each of these networks, the most important of which is its metric. This metric represents the total “cost” of getting a datagram from the router to that destination.

The routing table has the entries listed below for each destination that is reachable:

• The IPv6 preﬁx of the destination

• A metric, described above

• The IPv6 address of the next router along the path (the Next Hop)

• A ﬂag to indicate the information about the route has changed recently

• Various timers associated with the route

Split Horizon — Split Horizon is an algorithm for avoiding problems caused by including routes

in the updates sent to the gateway from which they were learned. The basic split horizon algorithm omits routes learned from one neighbor in updates sent to that neighbor.

Authentication — Authentication is a function of RIP-2 protocol only. It is not usually important

to conceal the information in the routing messages, but it is essential to prevent the insertion of bogus routing information into the routers. Authentication prevents someone who cannot directly access the network (i.e., someone who cannot sniff the packets to determine the password) from inserting bogus routing information. Currently the authentication type is simple password and MD5.

Multicasting — The RIP-2 protocol provides for the IP multicasting of periodic advertisements.

This feature was added to RIP-2 to decrease the load on systems that do not support RIP-2. It also provides a mechanism whereby RIP-1 routers will never receive RIP-2 routes. This feature is useful when the correct use of an advertised route depends on knowing the precise subnet mask, which would be ignored by a RIP-1 router.

1-42 Local Management User’s Guide

Page 59

IP Configuration Screen

Compatibility Switch — A compatibility switch is necessary for two reasons. First, there are

implementations of RIP-1 in the ﬁeld that do not follow RFC1058, and second, the use of multicasting would prevent RIP-1 systems from receiving RIP-2 updates (which may be a desired feature in some cases). This switch is conﬁgurable on a “per-interface” basis.

The switch has four send settings:

• RIP-1, in which only RIP-1 messages are sent (and received)

• RIP-1 Compatible, in which RIP-2 messages are broadcast

• RIP-2, in which RIP-2 messages are multicast

• DON’T SEND, which disables the sending of all RIP messages

The receive control has four settings:

• RIP1, only accept RIP-1 messages

• RIP2, only accept RIP-2 messages

• RIP1/RIP2, accept both RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages

• DON’T RCV, do not accept any type of RIP messages

This control is also conﬁgurable on a “per-interface” basis. If the router is not conﬁgured to authenticate RIP-2 messages, then RIP-1 and unauthenticated

RIP-2 messages will be accepted. Authenticated RIP-2 messages will be discarded. If the router is conﬁgured to authenticate RIP-2 messages, then RIP-1 messages and RIP-2 messages which pass authentication testing will be accepted. Unauthenticated and failed authentication RIP-2 messages shall be discarded.

IP OSPF Conﬁguration

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a Link-State Protocol. OSPF distributes routing information between routers belonging to a single Autonomous System (AS). In an Autonomous System, routers exchange routing information through a common routing protocol.

An Autonomous System may contain one or more networks, but each network within the AS may or may not support subnetting. Every OSPF routing domain must have a “Backbone”. An OSPF backbone distributes routing information between areas in an OSPF routing domain. The backbone of an OSPF routing domain is an OSPF area possessing an area ID of 0.0.0.0. Because OSPF protocol only broadcasts link state updates when topology has changed, it is considered “quiet” when compared to RIP protocol, which has to periodically send a portion, or all of its routing table to its neighbors.

Conv ergence (the time it takes to recalculate routing tables) under OSPF protocol is instantaneous and not periodic because of the use of IP Multicast to send the link-state updates. Updates are only sent when routing changes occur instead of periodically, ensuring better use of available bandwidth.

OSPF employs “ﬂooding” to exchange link-states with other routers. Any change in routing information is ﬂooded to all routers in the network. The use of “areas” puts a boundary on the explosion of link-state updates. All routers within an area will have the exact link-state database.

IPX Routing over Frame Relay

An additional step is required when routing IPX over Frame Relay. This step requires that entries are created in the IPX Host Map. The IPX Host Map is a database of remote IPX hosts that are deﬁned generally by the WAN Network number and MAC Address, and more speciﬁcally by the Interface Number and Data Link Connection Identiﬁer (DLCI). The IPX Host Map helps a routing decision by determining which circuit a packet should be forwarded to in a point to multi-point Frame Relay connection.

Figure 1-19 shows how IPX Host Map entries are entered using the circuitmap command. The

circuitmap command is accessed from the MIB Navigator Screen. Refer to Chapter 2 for more information on the circuitmap command.

Enabling the IPX SAP Routing Protocol on a Port

IPX Source Advertisement Protocol (SAP) is used by IPX to exchange information about Novell service providing nodes, such as ﬁle servers and print servers that are available. IPX SAP builds and maintains a database, the Service Advertisement Table, containing the addresses and routes to speciﬁc service providing nodes, and advertises this information over the network.

Each router running IPX SAP gathers this LAN based information from the locally connected network segments and adds it to its Service Advertisement Table. Each table contains the Novell Network Number and type of services available on all Novell servers known to the IPX SAP. IPX routing services uses this information to provide internetworked NetWare clients with access to these services.

To enable SAP Routing, complete the following steps:

1. From the IPX Configuration screen, highlight IPX SAP and then press ENTER.

The IPX SAP Configuration screen, shown in Figure 1-20, displays.

Enabling RIP on a Port

IPX RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a widely implemented routing protocol that is used extensively on IPX intermediations. IPX Routing Services uses the RIP to send and gather information about the internetwork topology. This information is used to construct and maintain a database, called the RIP Route Table, containing the addresses and available routes to all the networks and hosts that RIP has learned.

Enabling RIP allows IPX Routing Services to build and maintain a dynamic database of route information. The best routes learned by RIP are added to the IPX Forwarding Table to be used to forward IPX packets. The ability to switch RIP on and off on a port-by-port basis provides great ﬂexibility. On the same device, some router ports can be running RIP while other router ports are not. If necessary, you can temporarily disable RIP on any port without affecting the rest of your conﬁguration.

To enable RIP Routing, complete the following steps:

1. From the IPX Configuration screen, highlight IPX RIP and then press ENTER. The IPX RIP

Configuration screen, shown in Figure 1-21, displays.

Bandwidth-on-Demand (Multilink Protocol) Configuration

The ﬁelds for the BoD feature are described as follows:

Bandwidth-on-Demand (BoD) option — Speciﬁes whether or not MP support is desired. To

successfully negotiate MP, both devices must support MP. The default setting is DISABLE.

Line Utilization (LU) Threshold (LUT)% — Speciﬁes a line utilization threshold (%) value to

compare against the linear weighted percentage by which to determine when more or less bandwidth is to be added or removed. The default setting is 50.

History time in seconds to compute LU Avg. (LUA) — Speciﬁes a time value in seconds over

which the line utilization percentage is averaged by the linear weighted percentage algorithm. The default setting is 5.

# of LUA computation(s) > LUT for when to add BW — Speciﬁes the number of samples for

which the condition for adding more bandwidth must persist before additional bandwidth is added. This parameter is used to ﬁlter out trafﬁc bursts. The value should be chosen such that the time it takes to add more bandwidth is less than the time the trafﬁc will exceed the “line threshold”. This will avoid the additional cost of adding unnecessary bandwidth. The default setting is 1.

# of LUA computation(s) < LUT for when to remove BW — Speciﬁes the number of seconds

that the output has fallen below the line threshold before possible previously added additional bandwidth is removed. The default value is 5.

Maximum # of calls allowed including the 1st call — Speciﬁes the maximum number of

channels an MP call is allowed. The value accounts for the channel used to establish the original/ ﬁrst link. The default setting is 1.

When modifying the “Maximum # of calls allowed” parameter, which accounts for the ﬁrst call, a check is ﬁrst made against the maximum proﬁles setting for that interface. Although the maximum possible value allowed is shown to be 20, the true maximum is the current maximum proﬁles setting for that interface (which cannot exceed 20).

# of calls to increase by — Speciﬁes the incremental number of channels by which to increase

additional bandwidth. Speciﬁcally, channels can be added in multiples. The default setting is 1.

# of calls to decrease by — Speciﬁes the decremental number of channels by which to remove

bandwidth. Speciﬁcally, channels can be removed in multiples. The default setting is 1.

Avg packet size used to determine when to fragment — Speciﬁes the average packet size by

which to determine when it is best to split a packet. This minimizes the amount of buffering necessary at the remote device to maintain packet sequentiality. The default setting is 260.

Local Management User’s Guide 2-17

Page 90

WAN Configuration

Either side controls Bandwidth — Speciﬁes whether or not bandwidth changes are permitted

by either side, i.e., both parties. Normally only the caller controls the bandwidth. The default setting is DISABLE.

Frame Relay Physical Conﬁguration

Begin the HSIM or CyberSWITCH physical conﬁguration by accessing the WAN Physical Conﬁguration screen through Local Management (Figure 2-6). Proceed with the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the [WPIM X] field at the bottom of the screen. Press the

SPACE bar to select the number of the WPIM to be configured, then press ENTER.

2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the MgrType field. Configure the Protocol Manager Type as

either Frame Relay Point to Multipoint (FR PtoMP), or Point to Point (FR PtoP).

FR PtoMP and FR PtoP are the two settings for Frame Relay. Frame Relay Point to Point has one Interface per DLCI assigned when DLCIs are created by the Service Provider. In Frame Relay Point to Multipoint, there is one interface to multiple DLCIs, and the DLCIs are dynamically learned. When backing Up a Frame Relay Primary circuit it is best to conﬁgure the Frame Relay protocol manager for Point to Point mode. If the Primary Frame Relay interface has only one DLCI it can work in Point to Multi-Point mode.

The concept of a Manager for each conﬁgured protocol also exists. Each physical connection has one or more (more if a protocol is encapsulated, such as PPP encapsulated within ISDN) Protocol Managers that control protocol operation.

Point to MultiPoint Conﬁguration (LM WAN Physical Conﬁguration)

1. Set the MgrType to FR PtoMP.

2. If more than 32 DLCIs are required, set the Max VCs value (up to a maximum of 125 on the

CSX400/HSIM-W6).

The MAX VC value associated with a physical WAN interface is set to a default value

NOTE

based on the number of possible ports available and the protocol manager selected. If more PVCs/DLCIs exist than the default MAX VC value will allow, the MAX VCs may be changed.

3. The next IF will display the value that should be entered into the timeslots, if T1 or E1. This

should be done now.

4. Configure any other required physical parameters for that interface. Such as: Sync Port Type,

or clock speeds (Sync WPIM), T1 or E1 timeslot configurations etc. REMEMBER: if using the Sync WPIM, always manually setup the Sync Clock Speeds to match the actual line configurations.

1. If the DLCI LMI type is NO_LMI, or you wish to have STATIC DLCIs (that will not have

information deleted when the switch does not send a report on them, or if QUICKSET configured the DLCIs), then you would add the DLCIs using this field.

2. Type in the DLCI number you wish to use here, and arrow down to the Circuit State. Add the

DLCI in the inactive state (if NO_LMI it can be added in the active state) and SAVE. The DLCI will show up as a STATIC DLCI.

3. If a switch is attached the DLCI should dynamically change state to active, and then data can

be received and transmitted. In NO_LMI mode, the state must be changed manually.

4. To remove a STATIC DLCI, arrow to the Circuit State field and select invalid and SAVE. This

will remove the DLCI from the system. NOTE: This does not apply to DYNAMIC DLCIs.(c) CKT_DCP enable: This will turn Fr Data Compression negotiation on or off. The next two fields, Status and ratio, display whether or not DCP successfully negotiated. If successful, the Compression ratio is displayed.

In Point To MultiPoint mode the DLCIs will be dynamically added (unless the DLCI has been tagged STATIC or deleted. This allows you to actually see the DLCI information provided by the Frame Relay DCE Switch in the WAN cloud that the CSX is connected to.

Point To Point Mode (LM WAN Physical Conﬁguration)

Set the MgrType to FR PtoP. All the other information in FR PtoMP conﬁguration is applicable.

Point To Point Mode (LM WAN Interface Conﬁguration)

The difference in conﬁguration between PtoP and PtoMP is that DLCIs are not learned dynamically . DLCI information must be entered in statically, even if in an LMI mode. All the other information in FR PtoMP conﬁguration is applicable.

Since in Point To Point mode the DLCI is static, it will not be deleted if the switch sends no information on the DLCI, but must be deleted manually through LM or SNMP, nor will DLCIs be added dynamically. The state will reﬂect the correct value that the FR DCE Switch reports, and static circuits will go “Invalid” if there is a physical connection problem.

When changing from one protocol to another on a HSIM or CyberSWITCH that has

NOTE

been operational, save NONE as the protocol before changing to another protocol. The previous version of ﬁrmware allo wed m ultiple F r ame Rela y Protocols running on

different T1 or E1 channel groups. This is no longer possible. Therefore, only one Frame Relay Protocol can be conﬁgured per physical interface.

5. Use the arrow keys to highlight Timeslot View. Press the SPACE bar to select New, then press

ENTER. The cursor moves to the first timeslot available in the Timeslot Configuration Table.

6. Insert the interface number (refer to NOTE below) into the timeslot being used. Type the

number, press ENTER, then exit this field by using the arrow keys. The cursor automatically moves to the T1 Line Coding field.

The value assigned to the timeslots is the interface being used for WAN

NOTE

communication. Only one interface can be assigned to the timeslot when running Frame Relay.

The next four steps are based on information supplied by the service provider. Consult the service provider for the correct settings.

7. Use the arrow keys to highlight T1 Line Coding. Press the SPACE bar to select B8ZS or AMI,

then press ENTER.

8. Use the arrow keys to highlight T1 Frame Type. Press the SPACE bar to select ESF or D4,

then press ENTER.

9. Use the arrow keys to highlight T1 Tx Clock Source. Press the SPACE bar to select Local (no

clock source provided by telephone company) or Loop (clock source provided by telephone company), then press ENTER.

10. Use the arrow keys to highlight T1 Line Buildout (LBO). Press the SPACE bar to select to 0

dB unless the service provider recommends another setting, then press ENTER.

11. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command, then press ENTER. The message “SAVE

DONE!” displays and Local Management saves the changes to memory. “REBOOT IN

PROGRESS......” displays and the host platform reboots. Re-entry to management is necessary

for any further configuration.

12. Proceed to the next section to continue the configuration.

Frame Relay Interface Conﬁguration

Access the WAN Interface Conﬁguration screen through the WAN Physical Conﬁguration screen, by using the arrow keys to highlight the WAN INT CONFIG command, then press ENTER. Proceed with the following steps to conﬁgure the WAN Interface.

1. Set the Interface Number that is being used for the WAN connection by typing the same number

into the Interface Number field that was input into the timeslots in the WAN Physical Configuration screen, then press ENTER (see the Note on page 2-27). For Frame Relay PtoP: The interfaces are assigned when DLCIs are created (in this case a zero needs to be entered in this field).

2. Use the arrow keys to highlight FR LMI. Press the SPACE bar to select ANSI_94, T1.617-D

or Q.933-A, then press ENTER.

The choice NO LMI under FR LMI is a test mode only and should not be used in a

NOTE

practical application.

3. Make any changes to the available settings as desired.

4. Use the arrow keys to highlight SAVE, then press ENTER. The message “SAVE DONE!”

displays and Local Management saves the changes to memory.

In FR PtoP, the DLCIs must be entered statically, as they will not come up dynamically as in FR PtoMP.
