1.4 LOCAL MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

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

• Conﬁgure the devices interconnected to form a network

• Monitor the network’s performance

• Control user access to the network and its components for the purpose

of security

ESXMIM/ESXMIM-F2 Local Management Guide Page 1-3

Chapter 1:

Introduction

1.4.1 The Management Agent

The management agent is a process within the ESXMIM which collects statistical information (e.g., frames received, errors detected) about the managed network’s operational performance. Local Management communicates with the management agent for the purpose of viewing statistics or issuing management commands.

1.4.2 In-Band vs. Out-of-Band

Network management systems are often classiﬁed as either in-band or out-of-band. In-band network management passes data along the same medium (cables, frequencies) used by all other stations on the network. An example of an in-band network management system is Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM.

Out-of-band network management passes data along a medium that is entirely separate from the network’s common data carrier, for example, a cable connection between a dumb terminal and the ESXMIM’s COM port. Cabletron Systems Local Management is an out-of-band network management system.

A device connected out-of-band to the management agent is not connected to the LAN. This type of connection allows you to communicate with a network device even when that device is unable to communicate through the network, for example, at the time of installation.

1.4.3 Local vs. Remote Management

Network management applications are usually described as either local or remote management applications. Local management applications reside within the management device’s management agent. Remote management applications run within the circuits of another device that provides management services. This allows you to perform network management from a remote location.

Page 1-4 ESXMIM/ESXMIM-F2 Local Management Guide

Local Management Requirements

1.5 LOCAL MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS

The ESXMIM provides two communication ports, labeled COM 1 and COM 2, that support a management terminal connection. To access Local Management, connect one of the following systems to either COM 1 or COM 2:

• Digital Equipment Corporation VT series terminal

• VT type terminal running emulation programs for the Digital

Equipment Corporation VT series

• IBM or compatible PC running a VT series emulation software

package

You can also access Local Management using a Telnet connection through one of the ESXMIM’s network ports.

1.8 NAVIGATING 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, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN arrow keys. Each time you press an arrow key, the Local Management screen cursor moves to the next available 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.

12.1 MANAGING DEVICE MIBS

The MIB Navigator lets you manage objects in the ESXMIM’s Management Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs are databases of objects used for managing the device and determining the ESXMIM’s conﬁguration. The commands within the MIB Navigator allow you to view and modify a device’s objects.

The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory. Figure 12-2 shows the MIB tree hierarchy. Each layer is numerically encoded, so that every branch group and leaf object in the MIB is identiﬁed by a corresponding number, known as an Object Identiﬁer (OID). This allows the MIB Navigator to navigate through the MIB and access the manageable leaf objects.

Object 1.1.1 Object 1.1.2

Object 1.2.1 Object 1.2.2

Object 1.3.1 Object 1.3.2

Root 1

Group 1.1 Group 1.2

Group 1.3

Figure 12-2 Hierarchical MIB Tree Structure

Often an ASCII name is assigned to a leaf object’s OID, making it more readable. To identify the value for the object “ip Forwarding” you would use the OID (/1/3/6/1/2/1/4/1), or its ASCII name (/iso/org/dod/internet/ mgmt/mib-2/ip/ipForwarding).

ESXMIM/ESXMIM-F2 Local Management Guide Page 12-3

Chapter 12: The MIB Navigator Screen

12.2.1 Conventions for MIB Navigator Commands

This manual uses the following conventions for denoting commands:

• Information keyed by the user is shown in this helvetica font.

• Command arguments are indicated by two types of brackets:

- required arguments are enclosed by [ ].

- optional arguments are enclosed by < >.

MIB Navigator command conventions are as follows:

• To abort the output or interrupt a process the escape character is ^C (where ^ equals the Control key).

• A slash (/) proceeding an OID issues that command from the root directory regardless of where you are in the MIB. If no slash precedes the OID the command issues from your current MIB location.

• Dot notation (1.1.1.1) is equivalent to slash notation (1/1/1/1). Use slash notation with the navigational commands, and the dot notation with the built-in commands that are using SNMP to access and manage network devices.

MIB Navigation Commands are listed in the format shown below:

command:

Syntax: This entry provides the format that the MIB

Navigator command requires. It indicates where arguments, if any, must be speciﬁed.

Description: This entry brieﬂy describes the command and

its uses.

Options: This entry lists any additional ﬁelds which may

be added to the command and their format.

Example: This entry shows an example of the command.
