Agent Configuration
In order to ensure that your network or Cajun M770 ATM Device works properly,
your network agent must be configured correctly. This chapter helps you manage
your agent. 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 ATM Device is a fully distributed switch. Each module has its own
switching and CPU power supply. In order to present the device 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
devices. The Master Agent enables handling many of the Cajun M770 ATM
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 CajunView, 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 UpdateMaster. For
instructions, refer to the on-line help for the Cajun UpdateMaster, or the
UpdateMaster User’s Guide

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 device, your station should be one of its
designated Managers. The Manager can be a Cajun M770 ATM Manager station or
any other SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) management console.
Note:

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
Administrator’s Guide
.
Assigning Severity Degrees (UNIX and NT-OV Only)
Management applications, using the Event Configuration application, allow you to
set fault severity degrees system-wide, (for all devices on the network
simultaneously), or for specific devices (per IP). If the system-wide setting and an
individual device's setting disagree, the individual device's setting takes precedence.
For more information refer to
Severity Degrees
The Reference Guide
in
HP OpenView
.
Accessing Severity Degrees
Only events whose category is “Status Events” affect the device’s status. Events in
this category may be found under the enterprises Lannet (.1.3.6.1.4.1.81) and
CajunM770 (.1.3.6.1.4.1.81.17.1.15).
Severity degree settings may be accessed from the Event Configuration application.

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. There are several methods for determining
which LES is assigned to a LEC.
For more information on LEC to LES assignment methods, refer to

Setting Up the LECS
Any ATM network which uses LANE must have one LECS that acts as a central
coordinator, 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

Editing the PNNI Summary Table
The PNNI specification defines that each PNNI node advertises the addresses that
are locally connected to it. Since it is not possible to specify that each node
advertises all of its local Reachable Addresses (RA), PNNI defines a way that the
node advertises summaries of its Reachable Addresses. For the lowest level node,
the ATM address of a device is the switch default summary, as all directly connected
hosts and edge devices that use ILMI for address registration get the switch prefix as
the prefix to their address.

Early Packet Discard
Threshold
There are two packet discard thresholds for each
option card, called Early Packet Discard (EPD) and
Partial Packet Discard (PPD). By default, both
thresholds have a default set limit and are enabled.
The Cajun M770 ATM Device uses EPD to discard
entire AAL5 frames for ABR and UBR traffic (rather
than random cells from different frames), when it
determines that it is about to become congested.
The Cajun M770 ATM Device passes through the
last cell of each AAL5 frame so that end stations are
aware that a discard has taken place. You can
configure a threshold at which the EPD will be
invoked. The threshold is a percentage of the
overall shared buffer space.
