2 Description
The NetPath 100 Frame Relay Channel Service Unit (FSU) is a special purpose
T1/FT1 CSU/DSU which provides management and diagnostic functions through
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), transported over a Frame Relay
network. It also includes an integral modem which supports access to the CSU/DSU
as well as other co-located equipment such as routers. The NetPath 100 can be factory
optioned to include an ISDN Adapter (4 BRIs, for Backup and/or Bandwidth OnDemand). Network Service Providers (NSPs) who prefer to have independent
management access from their end-user networks (customer networks), can utilize the
isolated management PVC desi gned into the NetPath 100 f or network demarcation and
diagnostics.

Figure 2-1 shows a system level view of the Ne tPath 100 FSU, including man agement
transport. As shown in the figure, the Frame Relay network provides Permanent
Virtual Circuits (PVCs) for both the Customer Data and FSU m anag ement.
NOTE: NetPath 100 is transparent to SVCs (Switched Virtual Circuits).
The NetPath 100 can have up to two IP Addresses for management. One IP Address
allows it to communicate with SNMP work stations that have access to the NSP
management PVC. A second IP Address can provide management access via a
customer data PVC.
NetPath 100 can also send SNMP Traps to mu ltiple SNMP Alarm Servers via the man agement PVCs. The integral modem is used to dial into the Network Control Center
(NCC) Terminal Server to access the SNMP Alarm Server and report faults that are
prevented from being reported over the PVC management chan nels. It can also accept
maintenance calls from NCC Work Stations to support operator interaction, and accept
inbound calls from a customer or NCC Work Station to manage co-located devices
such as routers.

The NetPath 100 can be factory-optioned to include an integral ISDN Adapter module.
The ISDN adapter includes four “U” ISDN TA Interfaces with two integral NT1 In-
verse Multiplexers, thereby providing up to 512 Kbps of switched connectivity for network Backup and/or additional Bandwidth On-Demand.
Backup in Frame Relay Protocol utilizing the Router’s Primary Port can be via dedi-
cated PVCs on an alternate port, or the frame switch manag er may reroute the or iginal
PVCs to the Backup Frame Switch. It is also possible to b ypass the entire Frame Relay
Network and initiate backup to a pool of ports on an alternate Frame Switch connected
directly to another Router.
A typical network configuration showing the backup connection to a Backup Frame
Switch using rerouted PVCs is shown in Figure 2-2.

WAN DLCI
Management
IP Addressing
Customer Data
Center
The in-band Frame Relay Management Cha nnel WAN address is defined by th e DLCI
(Data Link Connection Identifier). The WAN DLCI can be configured for a Dedicated
PVC, or as a Tunneled channel within a Payload PVC. During initial installation the
WAN DLCI can be set via the unit’s rear panel Configuration DIP Switches, Local
Console Port or Dial-In Console Port. Thereafter the DLCI can also be changed vi a inband management access.
NetPath 100 has special features for Network Service Providers (NSPs) who require
management access to the FSU to be isolated from the payload data. This isolated access is provided either by NetPath 100’s ded icated network-facing management PVC
as shown in Figure 2-1 or by the Tunneled management channel on a network-facing
Payload PVC as shown in Figure 2-7.

2 Description
With these features, NSP and/or customer management of the FSU can be accomplished through three basic management modes:
•
The primary IP Address is associated with the network-facing dedicated PVC
or Tunneled payload PVC. In this mode, there may be a secondary IP Address.
The secondary IP Address can be associated with a specified payload PVC or a
dedicated CPE-facing PVC.
•
The primary IP Address is associated with a specified payload PVC. There is
no secondary IP Address.
•
The Primary IP Address is associated with a dedicated CPE-facing PVC. There
is no secondary IP Address.

WAN Management
IP Address
NetPath 100 utilizes one IP Address on the dedi cated, network-facing Wide Area Network (WAN) management channel. This address is embedded within the various communications protocol stacks used for SNMP, Telnet and PPP. The unit’s WAN
Management IP Address may be automatically learned from the first message received
on the management PVC, or it can be set via the local or remote Console Port.
When optioned with ISDN, NetPath 100 can have several communications paths that
allow the management channel to connect to the frame relay network in different places. Each of these connection points could result in the management PVC routing
through different IP sub-nets to reach the Network Control Center, or it may be desirable to have the NetPath 100 appear as a logically different object in the SNMP manager, especially if static routing and dedicated backup ports are utilized. The setting/
learning of these additional IP Addresses is described in detail in S ection 4, “Config-
uration,” in this manual.
NetPath 100 will retain in Non-Volatile Memory (NVM), a separate WAN IP Address
for each connection point. All communications via OOB PPP (Out-Of-Band Point-toPoint Protocol) will utilize whatever IP Address is in effect depending on how the unit
is currently connected to the network. There are several options for establishing the
WAN IP Address within the NetPath 100.
When the unit is shipped from the factory or when NVM is cleared on initial installation, the WAN IP Address for each connection point is set to 00 0.0 00.0 00.000 , wh ich
indicates no address is known.
The WAN IP Address to be used on the T1 link is automaticall y “learned” from the
first valid IP message received over the unit’s management PVC. Learning will take
place as long as the value of the WAN IP Address in NVM is 000.000.000.000. Once
the IP Address is set or learned it is retained and used until the NVM is cleared or another addre s s is manually set.

The NetPath 100 system software (fi rmware) is stored in flas h memory. A new version
of the software can be downlo aded t o the un it f or s of twar e upg rade, or for restoration
in the event an error is detected in the flash storage.
A description of the software download process is provided in Section 5, “Diagnos-
tics,” of this manual.
The NetPath 100 provides an MIB which includes standard MIB-II groups and also
contains a Private MIB Extension which supports the issuance of unique Traps. Traps
are issued either in-band or dial-ou t (out-of-band) via the on- board modem, depending
on the specific fault detected.
Section 5 Diagnostics of this manu al lists the MIB objects and the T r ap reporting path
for each.
