Chapter 4. DEVICE MANAGEMENT

VIA USER INTERFACES:

CMR-5910 (MG-SIP)

4.1 Introduction

Management of the CMR-5910 Serial IP Gateway (MG-SIP) is simple and intuitive. This chapter outlines the variety of ways to specifically configure and manage the MG-SIP:

• Web Interface via a LAN-based desktop Web browser

• Terminal Interface via direct connection to a PC’s asynchronous serial port

• Telnet Interface via a LAN

• TFTP for remote terminal upgrades

• SNMP Private MIB and MIB II (Future)

4.2 Web Interface

The Web Interface, operating under standard HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP), is used to communicate with and command the MG-SIP via a HyperText Markup Language-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). To utilize the Web Interface, a LAN connection must exist between the PC with a Web browser and the MG-SIP.

Once a valid IP Address, Subnet Mask and Defa ult Ga tewa y have be en entered into the MG-SIP, activate a Web browser on the desktop, then enter the MG-SIP’s IP address into the URL field as shown below. If t he port num ber has bee n m odified from the Standard 80 via the Terminal Interface, then the port number must be appende d with a colon to the IP address .

4.2.5 (HDLC TX) Route Configuration

Figure 4-7. (HDLC TX) Route Configuration page

The Route Configuration page supports up to 64 Multicast or Unicast routes.

Page Up

and Page Down allow the user to scroll up or down through the configured routes on the MG-SIP. Once a route has been added or edited, the

Submit button must be pressed to

make the change permanent. An advanced link is present on the page to allow the QoS parameters to be set.

The MG-SIP has the following configurable parameters:

The route is enabled when checked.

Name

The name assigned to a given route.

IP Address

The IP Address assigned to a given route. Note a unicast route will fall within the range 0.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255 (excluding broadcast or reserved IP addresses), and a multicast route will fall within the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

Subnet Mask (SM)

The Subnet Mask, or SM, defines the range of IP addresses that will be supported by a particular route. It is represented by a 32-bit string of 1’s (representing the network and subnet network ID) followed by 0’s (representing the host ID). This

4-7

Digicast Media Router Serial IP (SIP): CMR-5910 (MG-SIP) & CMR-5920 (MR-SIP) Revision A Device Management via User Interfaces - CMR-5910 (MG-SIP) MN/MDRTRIPDC.IOM

string when logically ‘ANDED’ with the IP address, defines the network/subnet IP address.

The following demonstrates how the subnet mask defines the IP address range. The MG-SIP use Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation for setting the subnet masks.

• 255.255.255.255 is 0 bits

(used for an explicit route for a single IP address)

• 255.0.0.0 is 8 bits (used for an A-Class Mask)

• 255.255.0.0 is 16 bits (used for a B-Class Mask)

• 255.255.255.0 is 24 bits (used for a C-Class Mask)

HDLC Address

The HDLC address is assigned to a particular route. HDLC addresses do not have to be unique and may be assigned to one or more routes.

MAC Address

The MAC address assigned to a given route. For Unicast, this is typically the MAC address the route is assigned to and is determined by the end device (nexthop) to which the data is to be sent. However, for Multicast, this is derived as described previously.

Guaranteed Bandwidth

The guaranteed bandwidth offered to a given route. The route will be guaranteed a minimum of this amount of bandwidth on the MG-SIP.

Max Bandwidth

The maximum bandwidth allowed for a given route. Any traffic that exceeds the maximum bandwidth will be silently discarded.

4.3 Terminal Interface

The Terminal Interface provides the user with a textual configuration dialog for configuring the MG-SIP. This method of configuration should be used for initial configuration of the unit – i.e., configuring the network parameters for the unit, but not for normal operation. The Web (HTTP) Interface is recommended for operational management.

The Terminal Interface allows the entire unit to be configured a nd managed, but this interface can only be used while a serial connection is present between the MG-SIP and a PC. While the same menu information is displayed via the Telnet interface, there are specific features available only via the ‘serial interface’ access method – these ‘serial interface only’ features are noted in this section.

Figure 4-9 shows the hierarchal structure of the Terminal Interface-based menus, and the sections in this chapter which provide figures of these submenu pages.

4.5 Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

The MG-SIP support changes to the resident software and firmware by means of the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). This enables changes to be made remotely via the LAN interface. It is recommended to use Solarwinds TFTP server application (available at

http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/SelectProgramFree.cfm).

To modify the software and/or firmware, use the following procedures:

Configure the server as follows:

File ! Configuration ! Select the ‘TFTP Root Directory’. Set up the location

of the MG-SIP files.

File ! Configuration ! Select the ‘Security’ tab and make sure ‘Transmit and Receive

c) Save configuration.

The server is now configured for the file transfer process.

IMPORTAN

To modify code via Telnet:

’ are selected.

Because the MG-SIP stops processing data traffic during the download process, it is recommended that this upgrade procedure be performed during scheduled network down time.

Do NOT remove power from the unit during the download process.

Step Procedure

1 Start up Solarwinds TFTP server – Ensure configuration as described

previously.

2 Ensure that the code provided by CEFD is located in the TFTP Root

directory.

3 Start up Telnet client and initiate a session with the MG-SIP as

described in the Terminal Interface section. 4 Select ‘A’ for Administrative. 5 Select ‘D’ for Download. 6 Enter the IP address of the TFTP server and wait for the message

“Upgrade complete. Press any key to continue.”

This code modification process can also be conducted via the Web Interface, under the Administrative page, or the Terminal Interface under the Main Menu.

IMPORTAN

Under heavy traffic conditions, the TFTP transfer may take several minutes. The transfer process reported by Solarwinds may show greater than 100% transferred, but this is a normal condition. Be patient and allow the transfer to take place.

4.6 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) has not been enabled on this product and is planned as a future release. However, when enabled, SNMP allows an SNMP Manager such as OpenView or Castle Rock to be used to remotely manage the MG-SIP in an automated fashion.

The MG-SIP supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) will be supported in future releases. Two types of Management Information Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB.

MIB II is the default MIB used to gather generic information about the unit, such as system ‘up’ time, packets sent or received on an interface, etc. MIB II is designed for only read access, not write access. To read and write configuration parameters over SNMP requires a private MIB. The private MIB allows parameters to be set on the Web, Terminal, or Telnet interfaces.

The elements Object Identifiers (OIDs) of the MIB will be listed in the appendix of a future revision of this manual. CEFD has been assigned an SNMP designator by the IEEE, which will be found in all elements of the MG-SIP’s MIB.

NOTE

The assigned designator for CEFD (enterprise OID) is 1.3.6.4.1.18723.

The MG-SIP support configurable community strings for added security. Note passwords cannot be remotely queried over SNMP as a security precaution.

For SNMP access from a remote network via the public Internet, a VPN connection to the MG-SIP will need to be established using third-party VPN client/server access.

The default community string for the public elements is community string is

private.

5.3 Terminal Interface

The Terminal Interface provides the user with a textual configuration dialog for configuring the MR-SIP. This method of configuration should be used for initial configuration of the unit – i.e., configuring the network parameters for the unit, but not for normal operation. The Web (HTTP) Interface is recommended for operational management.

The Terminal Interface allows the entire unit to be configured and managed, but this interface can only be used while a serial connection is present between the MR-SIP and a PC. While the same menu information is displayed via the Telnet interface, there are specific features available only via the ‘serial interface’ access method – these ‘serial interface only’ features are noted in this section.

Figure 5-10 shows the hierarchal structure of the Terminal Interface-based menus, and the sections in this chapter which provide figures of these submenu pages.

5.5 Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

The MR-SIP support changes to the resident software and firmware by means of the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). This enables changes to be made remotely via the LAN interface. It is recommended to use Solarwinds TFTP server application (available at

http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/SelectProgramFree.cfm).

To modify the software and/or firmware, use the following procedures:

Configure the server as follows:

File ! Configuration ! Select the ‘TFTP Root Directory’. Set up the location

of the MR-SIP files.

File ! Configuration ! Select the ‘Security’ tab and make sure ‘Transmit and Receive

c) Save configuration.

The server is now configured for the file transfer process.

IMPORTAN

’ are selected.

Because the MR-SIP stops processing data traffic during the download process, it is recommended that this upgrade procedure be performed during scheduled network down time.

Do NOT remove power from the unit during the download process.

Digicast Media Router Serial IP (SIP): CMR-5910 (MG-SIP) & CMR-5920 (MR-SIP) Revision A Device Management via User Interfaces - CMR-5920 (MR-SIP) MN/MDRTRIPDC.IOM

To modify code via Telnet:

Step Procedure

1 Start up Solarwinds TFTP server – Ensure configuration as described

previously. 2 Ensure that the code provided by CEFD is located in the TFTP Root

directory. 3 Start up Telnet client and initiate a session with the MR-SIP as

described in the Terminal Interface section. 4 Select ‘A’ for Administrative. 5 Select ‘D’ for Download. 6 Enter the IP address of the TFTP server and wait for the message

“Upgrade complete. Press any key to continue.”

This code modification process can also be conducted via the Web Interface, under the Administrative page, or the Terminal Interface under the Main Menu.

IMPORTANT

5.6 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) (Future)

The MR-SIP supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) will be supported in future releases. Two types of Management Information Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB.

MIB II is the default MIB that is used to gather generic information about the unit, such as system ‘up’ time, packets sent or received on an interface, etc. MIB II is designed for only read access, not write access. To read and write configuration parameters over SNMP requires a private MIB. The private MIB allows parameter s to be set on the Web, Terminal or Telnet interfaces.

The elements Object Identifiers (OIDs) of the MR-SIP’s MIB will be listed in the appendix of a future revision of this manual. CEFD has been assigned an SNMP designator by the IEEE, which will be found in all elements of the MR-SIP’s MIB.

NOTE

The assigned designator for CEFD (enterprise OID) is 1.3.6.4.1.18723.

The MR-SIP support configurable community strings for added security. Note passwords cannot be remotely queried over SNMP as a security precaution.

For SNMP access from a remote network via the public Internet, a VPN connection to the MR-SIP will need to be established using third-party VPN client/server access.

Appendix B. IP ROUTING

B.1 Introduction

The MG-SIP provides state-of-the-art encapsulation based on the HDLC Specification (ISO/IEC 13239). The MG-SIP provides the following configuration features:

• HDLC Encapsulation of IP datagrams

• Unicast Routing

• Multicast Routing

• 64 Configurable Routes

• Multicast Zones

B.2 Route Configuration

SUPPORT

Both Unicast and Multicast IP datagrams are encapsulated per the HDLC specification. Routing of datagrams is accomplished by configuration of the MG Route Table, described in the following section.

B.2.1 Unicast Routing

Unicast routing provides point-to-point delivery of IP datagrams. Routes for Unicast IP packets are configured according to the following:

• IP Addresses, which fall into three classes, namely: Class A (0.0.0.0 to

127.255.255.255), Class B (128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255), and Class C (192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255).

• HDLC Addresses, to which a specific IP destination address is mapped. This

identifies the packets in the HDLC stream for a particular route. The MR-SIP

B-1

Digicast Media Router Serial IP (SIP): CMR-5910 (MG-SIP) & CMR-5920 (MR-SIP) Revision A IP Routing Support MN/MDRTRIPDC.IOM

uses the HDLC addresses to filter required IP datagrams. An MR-SIP may be configured to filter up to 32 unique HDLC addresses.

Unicast is supported by the MG-SIP as it would be in any routed network. A route is created and a subnet mask is assigned to the route.

The MG-SIP uses Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation in which a ‘slash’ followed by a decimal number is used to represent the number of bits for the mask; e.g., /32 is 255.255.255.255 and /24 is 255.255.255.0.

As stated previously, part of the route configuration is a HDLC address which identifies the IP route in the data stream.

B.2.2 Multicast Routing

Multicast routing provides point-to-multipoint delivery of IP datagrams. Routes for multicast IP packets are configured according to the following:

• IP Addresses, which fall into class D (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255)

• HDLC Addresses, to which a specific IP destination address is mapped. This

identifies the packets in the HDLC stream for a particular route. The MR-SIP uses the HDLC addresses to filter required IP datagrams.

B.3 64 Routes

The MG-SIP and MR-SIP are capable of providing up to 64 unique IP routes. Each IP route can be configured as Unicast or Multicast. Additional routes may be supported by using the Multicast Zones feature described in the next section.

Routes can be assigned to HDLC addresses in the range 0000 to FFFF.

B.4 Multicast Zones

The Multicast Zones feature allows the user to more efficiently configure the Gateway when supporting multicasting. Using the IP subnetting techniques of Unicast routing, Multicast Zones allows a single IP address to be specified on a route and a subnet mask assigned to the route.

The MG-SIP uses Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation in which a ‘slash’ followed by a decimal number is used to represent the number of bits for the mask, e.g. /32 is 255.255.255.255 and /24 is 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask defines how many multicast IP addresses are allowed to be mapped to a single route. Care must be taken when using the multicast zone feature since IP traffic present within the multicast zone will be routed over the network.

B-2

Digicast Media Router Serial IP (SIP): CMR-5910 (MG-SIP) & CMR-5920 (MR-SIP) Revision A IP Routing Support MN/MDRTRIPDC.IOM

An example of multicast zone is as follows:

Multicast Route = 239.0.10.1

Multicast Zone Mask = 255.255.255.252

Multicast groups mapped to the 239.0.10.1 route:

• 239.0.10.1

• 239.0.10.2

• 239.0.10.3

• 239.0.10.4

B.5 Quality of Service (QoS)

Each route defined can be configured to provide a determined bandwidth. Note all QoS rates are for the HDLC transport stream and are based on HDLC payloads. Therefore, IP data rates may be slightly less due to the protocol overhead of HDLC. The bandwidth attributes that may be set are as follows:

• Minimum: The guaranteed amount of bandwidth the MG will provide for this

route. The total number of routes with guaranteed bandwidth must always be less than the rate of the egress port.

• Maximum: The maximum amount of bandwidth a route will be allowed to have.

Once the traffic for this route exceeds this level, packets will be silently discarded to ensure that the maximum is not exceeded

• No Setting: If neither the Guaranteed nor the Maximum values are set, the route

will be allowed to use as much bandwidth as possible and possibly attempt to exceed the egress bandwidth, which will result in lost data. Conversely, there is not guaranteed bandwidth for the route – another route may utilize all available bandwidth.

Appendix C. SYSTEM LOG

C.1 Introduction

The MG-SIP and MR-SIP support a feature known as system logging, more commonly called Syslog.

This section illustrates how a system logger can be set up on a Linux or Unix system allowing the device to report system events to a logger attached via an Ethernet connection.

C.2 Enabling a System Logger

To enable system logging, add the following command string to the bottom of the /etc/syslog.conf file on the Logging Server:

CONFIGURATION

# log the mux messages to here *.=info /var/log/mux.log

Where:

*.=info tells the logger to send all messages it receives from the Mux to the Dir/file

Note that this is merely a sample configuration. CEFD does not support the setup of a syslog

server, since it is assumed that one is already configured and operational for use.

C–1

Digicast Media Router Serial IP (SIP): CMR-5910 (MG-SIP) & CMR-5920 (MR-SIP) Revision A System Log Configuration MN/MDRTRIPDC.IOM

Looking in the top of file /etc/init.d/syslog2, the following is usually displayed:

#!/bin/bash # # syslog Starts syslogd/klogd. # # # chkconfig: 2345 12 88 # description: Syslog is the facility by which many daemons use to log \ # messages to various system log files. It is a good idea to always \ # run syslog.

# Source function library. . /etc/init.d/functions

[ -f /sbin/syslogd ] || exit 0 [ -f /sbin/klogd ] || exit 0

# Source config if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/syslog ] ; then . /etc/sysconfig/syslog else SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0” KLOGD_OPTIONS=”-2” fi

Of specific interest is the following line:

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0”

By adding a –r suffix, this allows the server to accept messages from remote machines. The edited line should read as follows:

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0 –r”

Check the services file, normally at /etc/services, to ensure that PORT 514 is defined. By default this should be enabled on most machines.

NOTE

After making the changes you must restart syslogd.

On most machines, entering “service syslog restart” should complete the configuration.

This file may be in a different location.

C–2

Appendix D. TROUBLESHOOTING

This section covers suggestions to assist the user in troubleshooting the MG-SIP or MRSIP. If the suggestions in this section do not result in correct operation of the device, please contact Comtech EF Data Customer Support for further assistance.

SYMPTOM: Device does not power up

When the device power is on, the blue is not illuminated, ensure the power supply is plugged in and tightly connected to the device.

SYMPTOM: Cannot communicate with the device using a terminal/PC

If the user cannot communicate with the device using a CEFD-supplied terminal cable and a communications port on a desktop PC or notebook PC:

• Ensure the terminal cable is connected to the PC’s communications port and

the

TERM port on the device.

• The communication program (HyperTerminal or TeraTerminal) should be

configured as 38,400 BAUD rate, 8 Data bits and No Parity and 1 Stop bit – commonly referred to as 38,400/8/N/1.

• Flow control should also be disabled.

SYMPTOM: Cannot get E-LINK LED to illuminate on the device

The most common mistake is using an “Ethernet Crossover Cable” instead of a standard “patch cord” or “straight-through cable.” A crossover cable should only be used if connecting the device directly to a PC. Otherwise, a patch cord to an Ethernet concentrator (Hub) or switch should be used.

PWR LED should be illuminated. If this LED

D–1

Digicast Media Router Serial IP (SIP): CMR-5910 (MG-SIP) & CMR-5920 (MR-SIP) Revision A Troubleshooting MN/MDRTRIPDC.IOM

SYMPTOM: Cannot ping the device

If the

E-LINK LED is illuminated but the user cannot ping the device, the most

likely causes are incorrect settings for the IP address or subnet mask. Ensure the device and the PC are set with unique IP addresses that are in the same subnet.

If the device and the PC are not in the same subnet, then both the device and PC must have a valid “Default Gateway” defined so that non-local traffic will be redirected to this device for routing the IP messages between the two devices.

SYMPTOM: Device will not synchronize with an IRD or Encoder

The device may be connected directly from an RS-422/RS-530 output port to an RS-422/RS-530 input port on a modem. If the modem will not lock, the most likely cause is the data rate on the device or modem are not set correctly.

SYMPTOM: Device reports dropped packets

The most likely cause of this problem is the incoming data on a route or all routes exceeds the configured egress bandwidth.

To remedy the problem:

• Look at the route statistics for the device and identify the routes with

dropped packets.

• Lower the rate of the incoming data or increase the maximum bandwidth

assigned to the route if QoS is set.

SYMPTOM: Device has a RED Alarm displayed

The most likely cause of the

ALARM LED is the maximum bandwidth has been

exceeded. Please refer to the previous item to troubleshoot this problem.
