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.

Viewing Traps in a Dialog Box
A list of traps sent by the agent is maintained by the management application. The list
can be viewed in a dropdown list box in the Port Configuration dialog box of the
appropriate port.
Viewing Traps in the Event Log
HP OpenView maintains a list of all traps sent by the agents on the network. They may
be viewed by opening the Event Log from the HP OpenView network map window.
For a full description of the Event Log, refer to the

Management applications, using the Event Configuration application, allow you to set
fault severity degrees system-wide, (for all hubs on the network simultaneously), or for
specific hubs (per IP). If the system-wide setting and an individual hub's setting
disagree, the individual hub's setting takes precedence.
For more information refer to

Choosing the LES Address for a LEC
When a LEC starts up, it connects to the LECS as usual. The LECS may have several
different possible LESs for a particular ELAN (if it is in distributed mode), so it must
decide which one to give to the LEC. It is possible to configure one of three possible
options:
•Round Robin - Each LES address is used in turn.
•Group Address - Every LES uses the same address. When a LEC requests that
ELAN, it is given the “common” address of the LESs. The LEC connects with the
“nearest” switch via routing.
•Best Match - The LES address supplied is the one which best matches the ATM
address of the LEC (and so should also be the “nearest” LES in many cases,
especially if a hierarchical addressing scheme is used).
Round Robin is the default because it will normally guarantee an even spread of clients
amongst all possible LESs. However, it is preferable in some cases to use Group
Address or Best Match.
Group Address usually gives the fastest recovery time. If a LES fails, it normally takes
the LECS at least 90 seconds to time out on the address of this LES. If the scheme used
is Best Match, any clients applying to join the ELAN during this period will be directed
to the failed LES address. However, if the scheme is Group Address, then the address is
Cajun M770 ATM Switch Manager User’s Guide31
Chapter 7Managing LANE Services
still valid, and an active LES will be found as soon as PNNI reconfigures the routing
tables. If the ELAN is configured for Round Robin, then the recovery time is
unpredictable, and may be faster or slower.
Setting Up the LECS
Any ATM network which uses LANE must have one LECS that acts as a central
co-ordinator, ensuring that all LAN Emulation Clients (LECs) join the correct ELANs.
This section describes how to configure the LECS in the Cajun M770 ATM Switch
Manager.
You can view the resilient LECS table, and you can configure the local LECS, the
LECS ELANs table, and the LES/BUS Table.

ATM routing is done for only 19 byte addresses.
PriorityThe resilient priority of this LECS. For more

Propagate StatusThe state of status propagation on the port or module.
When enabled, the status of a port or module is passed
up one level.
For example, when the Propagate Status field of a
problematic port is enabled, the port’s icon as well as
the module that the port is located on appears red. If
Propagate Status is disabled, only the port icon
appears red.
The following colors indicate the status of the port or
module:
• Red - Fatal
• Grey - Disabled (port only)
• Yellow - Warning
• Green - Okay
By default, status propagation is enabled for all ports
and modules.
