Chapter 2
Agent Configuration
In order to ensure that your network or Cajun M770 ATM Switch works properly, your
network agent must be configured correctly. This chapter helps you manage your agent
and includes helpful configuration notes for the different types of agents. The following
sections are included:
• Overview of Master Agent and Sub Agents
• Overview of Agent Configuration
• Viewing Agent Configuration Information
• Designating Managers
Master Agent and Sub Agents
The Cajun M770 Switch is a fully distributed switch. Each module has its own
switching and CPU power supply. In order to present the switch as a single and united
entity, one module is automatically elected as a Master Agent while the other modules
are Sub Agents. The NMA (Network Management Agent) LED is lit on the module
which has been elected to be the Master Agent.
The Master Agent is the one hosting the Management LEC with all of its functionality:
IP Address and switch-wide information.
All the information configured on the Master Agent is backed up by the Sub Agents. If
the Master Agent is removed or reset, another module will be elected, and all previous
configuration settings will be kept.
Overview of Agent Configuration
The Master Agent is responsible for managing the modules contained in the hubs. The
Master Agent enables handling many of the Cajun M770 ATM Switch Manager
features, such as statistical reporting, configuration information and trap reporting.
If your agent is not properly configured for your network or can not communicate with
Cajun View, your network will not achieve its maximum functionality. Therefore, it is
essential that your agent is configured correctly.
Downloading New Agent Software
Downloading agent software is done using the Cajun Download Manager. For
instructions, refer to the on-line help for the Cajun Download Manager, or the

Designating Managers
Agents send alarms to Manager workstations that are included in the agent's Manager
list. Alarms are not sent to any other network management stations (NMS).
If you wish to properly manage an ATM Switch, your station should be one of its
designated Managers. The Manager can be a Cajun M770 ATM Switch Manager station
or any other SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) management console.
