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This manual covers version 02.01.XX or greater, until superseded by a later version manual.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
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 Guide1-3
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. It also enhances data throughput by keeping the line clear of these network
administration packets.
Local Management Overview
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.

Navigating Within Local Management Screens
To navigate within a Local Management screen, use the arrow keys of the terminal or the
workstation providing terminal emulation services. The Local Management screen cursor
responds to the LEFT-ARROW, RIGHT-ARRO W, UP-ARROW , and DO WN-ARR O W k eys. Each
time you press an arrow key, the Local Management screen cursor moves to the next a v ailable field
in the direction of the arrow key.
The Local Management screen cursor only moves to fields which can be selected or used for input.
This means that the cursor jumps over display fields and empty lines on the Local Management
screen.
The Local Management screen cursor provides wrap-around operation. This means that a cursor
located at the edge of a screen, when moved in the direction of that edge, “wraps around” to the
outermost selectable item on the opposite side of the screen which is on the same line or column.

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
