This manual s upplements screen prompts and menus as an ai d i n configuring the data base and performing system operations on a Frame Relay Module ( FRM). Before using the manual, you should be familiar with FR M and SmartSwitch 9000 h ardware, as well as the protocols (fra me relay, IP, SNA, etc.) you will be using.

This typeface represents general text. Thi s typeface represents keyboard input and v i deo output.

(This text is dar k c yan in on-s cre en v ers ions of the manu al, and black in paper v ers ions.)

In on-screen versions of the manual, items in blue a re links to other places in the manual.

Thi s symbol points to an infor mational note relating to t he text, table, or f igure tha t i mmediately precedes or fol lows it.

The following references to keyboard keys appear in the manual and/or on the screen:

If a statement ends with a reference to a key—for example, “. ...then press [E nter].”—the period

is not part of the data to be enter ed. If a peri od should be entered, it will be shown as [.]. The same applies to al l other punct uation. When inst ructed to, for exam ple, “press [A], [B] fro m the Main Menu, ” this mea ns press [A], then [B], not [ A ] comm a [B].

Screen Displays

Screen Dis plays are provi ded to show the general appearance of actual scre ens. They are only examples—the information shown is not alw ays representa tive of an operational sys tem.

This symbol and text identifies a cautionary note, the content of whi ch is more critical t o heed th an an info r mat ional no te.

[N] is a reference to a key on your keyboa rd (whe re “N” is the ke y).

Enter means that you should type in the inf ormation, then press t he [Enter] key. Type is sim ila r to Enter, except that the word “[Enter]” follows the information to be

typed (e.g., “t ype n [Enter]”).

Press means press (hi t, strike) the key once. Pressing the [Enter] key afterwa rds is not

neces sary.

[Ctrl] f ollowed by one or two other key designa tions, must be struck sim ult aneously

with the other keys shown.

Product Overview

The Frame Re la y Module (FRM) is a high-per f orman c e, multiprotocol branch access device, capable of transmittinh L AN data, legacy data (e. g ., SDLC, bisync, async), voice, and fax over a single frame r elay link. A powe rfu l manage ment capability allows allocation of frame relay bandwidth to ensure that each type of traffic receives the necessary qua lity of service.

The FRM family shares much f unctionality and compatibility with Cabletron’s Sma rtSwitch 1800, FRX4000, and FRX6000.

Eac h FRM is a tw o-slot module that mou nts into a SmartSwitch 9 000. An FRM can inte ract with other FRM modules , but not with othe r modules in the SmartSwitc h 9000, with the exception of a cable connection f rom each FRM to a LAN interface module in the SmartSw itc h 9000, which provides LAN connectivit y to the WAN inter faces o n the FRM.

Eac h FRM with a video interface featur es an intuitive, men u-based manage men t stru ctur e that allows complete local and rem ote control of othe r FRMs, as well as SmartS witc h 1800s, FRX4000s , a nd FRX 6000s.

Hardwar e Overvi ew

An FRM mounts into a SmartSwitch 9000, and connects to an Ethernet or Token Ring (depen di ng on the model of FRM) module in the chassis via a cable from a LAN adapter p ort on the FRM. The FRM draws power f rom the chassis , but do es not inte ract with other SmartSw itch 900 0 modules ex c e pt the LA N inter face module and other FR M modu l es.

The int ent of the FRM is to provid e the functionality of a 24-port FRX6000 in a module that occupies two slots in an existing SmartSwitch 9000 (thereby eliminating the extra sp ace that an FRX6000 would req uire).

Three i960 RISC-based line processors (RLPs) provide the serial interfaces, conne c t ing various synchrono us a nd as ynchron ou s us e r devic es to pu bl i c or pri v at e n et works. Each RLP supports up to seven protocols and up to 1024 simultaneous logi cal termina tion s. (A link into one physical/logica l port on the RLP and out another port counts a s two ter minations.)

The following figure shows the basic hard ware components.

An earlier version of the FRM contai ns one RLP, providing eight serial ports. This manual does not document that ver sion, although all the same functionality can be found in that FRM except the number of ports.

Each RL P supports eight serial ports, located on two attached Line In terface Cards (L ICs). The t ype s of serial ports depend on the types of LIC, which can be (in any combination) V.35, RS-232, or RS-422.

Each FRM also contains:

●

1. 2GB hard disk

●

I/O box/cab le assemblies for

RLP serial p orts

●

As s hown in the figure, each 60-pin serial connector on an FRM supports up to four I/ O p orts, all of the same interface type. A cable carries each connector’s signals to an I/O box ass embly. The I/O box acts as a "splitter" that carries signals to four 25-pin connector s. The "final" physical interface dep ends on the com bination of th e type of I/O cable exiting the I/O box.

The LAN por t on each FRM can be connected to a LAN mo dule in the SmartSwitch 9000 ( as s hown in the fi gure), or to an ex te rnal s our ce.

Operato r Interfaces

Insta lla tion of software into an FRM, generally done before the node ships to the customer, r equi res a direc t ly connect ed keyboa rd and moni tor. Once the n ode has bee n install ed and configured, it can fu nction with n o op erator interf ace. However, co nfiguration, file copy (backup, restore, transfer, etc.), and monitoring operation s requir e a keyboard and screen, which can be in any of several forms.

Each FRM is shippe d with c abling to support connection to an ASCII terminal or a PC.

Quick Start

Chapter 2

Getting Started

The inst allati on d ocument ation that is shipped with each unit descr i bes th e pro ced ure for connecting to the FRM from a local or rem ote keyboard an d video d evice. Once this has been done, the FRM must be customized for the de vices to which it will connect, the traffic it will rec eive and transmit, and various operating parameters that can be set to your s pecific needs.

T he ba si c step s you s hould t ake to get the FRM up an d running a re:

1. Read the rem ainder of this chapter, as it exp lains t he user interface on an FRM. This information will help you understand the menu operations that are neces sa ry to config ure the FRM for your application.

2. Review the default databa se parameter settings, lis te d in tables throughout Section II. (A list o f tab les can be found in the Table of Content s.) M any param- eter s can be left at the d efaul t settings, but some must be recon figured to match your sp ecific need s.

3. Fill in T abl e 2-1 (on pag e 2-3), to identify the physical interface, protocol, and co nnected device on each physical port. You will need more information when configuring database records, bu t these tables can b e used as convenient references.

4. Log into the menu operations, if not already done. This is described in the FRM Ins tallation & Setup Guide, as well as on page 2-4.

5. Set the corr ect date and time, as described on page 2-9. Event messages, reports, and some displays include the current date and time as set in the FRM. Th ey should be accur ate, for pr oper network monito ring an d managemen t.

6. Change the login password, if desired. The default password is can change this to any pas sword of up to 1 4 char acters, as desc ribed o n pa ge 2-9.

7. Config ure the necessary database reco rds: Node (Chapter 4), SNMP parameters (Ch apter 16) if SNMP manageme nt will be performed , RLPs and protocols (C hapt er 5), ne tw ork p or ts ( frame relay – Chapter 7) or X.25 – Chapter 8), plus LAN interfaces and legacy access ports (miscellaneo us chap ters in Section II).

Physical interface, determined by the LIC an d attached cable. Some LICs are V.35 in all models of FRM; others differ. Possible interfaces (with LICs in parentheses) are: V.35 (V.35), RS-232 (RS-232), RS-449 (RS-422), and X.21 (RS-422). Each cable is physical DTE (male connector) or DCE (female connector). Ad d a T or C to the interface type to record this information.

All possible protocols are list ed below:

RLP ports 0–3: Frame relay, X.2 5, SDLC, BSCI (Interactiv e), BSCB (Batch), Async. LAN port 0: IP, IPX, Bridge, LLC2.

Note that LAN protocols are assigned to physical frame relay ports via interface records that map the protocols to the physical ports.

Lo gging into the Mai n Men u

Configuration (described in Section II) and man a gem ent (Section II I) operatio ns are access ed via a menu structure, using th e keyboard and video dev ice. Once the FRM has been conf igure d and i s operationa l, it does not need the keyboard and vi deo device; however , they are necessary to get the unit up and running.

To protect the FRM fr om unauthorized access, en try to the menu operations requires a pa s s word.

When running outs ide the menu operations, a display will be similar to the following figure, and will show the curr e nt status of all ports on the node. (Th is dis play is described in detail on page 19-2.)

Reviewing Boot Messages

Node Name= node_xyzl

F igure 2- 3 Main M enu

As an FRM boots, screen infor matio n tracks the loading of RLP and LAN card soft ware, verifies conf igu ration file format, and display s any errors. This data is displayed only until the FRM software is running; however, it is sa ved in a file named BOOTR PT.TXT, and the operator can later display it. This can be used as a tool to verify that startup of the node proceeded without errors. If there is an error reported, the data may aid in fixing the problem.

If an FRM is shut down and/or rebooted, the existing BOOTRPT.TXT file will be renamed BOOTBAK.TXT, an d a new BOOTRPT . T XT will be created. BOOT RPT .TXT and BOOTBAK.TXT can be us ed as f oll ows:

1. Display and rev iew the data from the “current” boot of the device.

2. Address any reported problems.

3. Re- b oot the device. (This cop ies the previous boot data to a backup file.)

4. Display the new boo t data, and compare it to the previ ou s data. This will s ho w whether the problem was fixed. Also, a problem that occurred during the previous boo t-up will often be clear e d up by re-booting.
