Chapter 1 Introduction

Determining Which Management Tool to Use

The Passport 4460 unit is managed through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is an application-level protocol that operates over TCP/ IP. Therefore, all of the Passport 4460 device management tools accept your commands and instructions, then translate them into SNMP comm ands.
Note:
Chapter 1, for more information to help you determine which management tool to use.
Refer to Using Passport 4400 Install Tool Version 4.1, 206906-B
Device Management Tools
Configuring a Passport 4460 typically involves the use of Passport 4460 and one or more of the following device management tools:
• Install Tool
• Passport 4400 Configurator
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
• Mass Deployment and Reporting Tool (MDT)

Chapter 1 Introduction
Network Management Tools
The following network managements are compatible with Passport 4460 units:
• Optivity NM S 9.0
• Preside Multiservice Data Manager (PMDM)
Offers a powerful set of tools for automating the management of diverse, multivendor networks. With Optivi ty NMS 9.0 , yo u can c ontro l act iv ity on an enterprise network (a network of heterogeneous Ethernet, Fast Ethernet , T oken Ring, FDDI, and Fra me Rela y inter networ ks that consi st of hi gh-spe ed backbones, geographically dispersed networks, local wiring closet hubs, routers, servers, end-user workstations, and a variety of cabling media) all from a single management station.
A network management platform used in heterogeneous networks as a method of standardization of informati on processing. Used in large networks, PMDM is highly scalable and offers many tools. Surveillance of all the devices is done using the same set of tools and presents results consistently across devices.
• Open Management System for Passport (OMS-P, Version 4.1) A SNMP-based network management platform that builds on a third party
product (HP OpenView) and adds device integration into that product. Used in large networks of heterogeneous SNMP devices and provides a common representation of different devices and their management information.

• If you are using Windows, ouble click on config_ops_doc.exe and follow the directions
• If you have a UNIX workstation you extract the documentation by doing a double click on config_ops_doc.tar and follow the directions
This documentation is also available for downloading from the web page
From the Internet, you can access the documentation from this URL:
http://support.baynetworks.com/library/tpubs/passport/v41/index.html
Open the documentation
• If you are using the Passport 4400 Configurator, click on the Documenta t ion link in the navigation menu. The online documentation will display in a new browser window. Ensure that the documentation URL has been upda ted . (Se e
“Passport 4400 Configurator Documentation URL Update” on page 39.)
Note:
• If you have installed the onlin e documentati on onto your PC's har d dri ve, you can access the documentation by opening the file named index.html, located in the directory where you installed the documentation.
• If you have installed the online documentation on a Web server, the URL you must use depends on where the documentation is installed on the server and how the Web site is configured and managed by the server's administrator or WebMaster. An example URL could be the following:
http://yugi/
Some browsers requi re speci al setu p. See “Browsers” on page 25.
(This URL assumes that th e serve r's name is yugi, th e document ation i s in the root directory of the Web site established on the serv e r, and that index.html is the default file that is served when the Web site is accessed.)
The server name “yugi” can be resolved by DNS; otherwise, u se your ser ver’s IP address. An example could be the followin g:
http://192.168.1.1

Navigating Online Documentation

The next and previous buttons in the document pages navigate you through the pages sequentially. If, for example, you have jumped (hyperli nked) to a new page and wish to return to your previous location, use the back button in the browser.

IfIndex Overview

Each physical and virtual interface on the Passport 4460 is assigned an IfIndex, a unique identifier that allows SNMP to read and write status information. These IfIndexes are used to establish logical links between interfaces and higher-level applications and protocol stacks.
57
The Passport 4460 can suppo rt up to 25 5 IfInd exes. Some of these a re hard- coded and cannot be changed; others are automatically reserved by the Passport 4460 operating system when the unit is powered on.
For more information on IfIndexes, proceed to the the following:
•“Hard-Coded IfIndexes” on page 58
•“Reserved IfIndexes and Ranges” on page 58
•“IfIndex Table Display Description” on page 60

Appendix A IfIndexes and Interface Identification

Hard-Coded IfIndexes

The following IfIndex numbers are hard-coded, representing the interfaces that are initially present in the Passport 4460.
IfIndex Description
1 Logical Ethernet interface for routed LAN traffic 2 Virtual port for WAN traffic 3 Logical Ethernet interface for bridged LAN traffic 4 Virtual port for network management traffic

Reserved IfIndexes and Ranges

The Passport 4460 also reserves IfIndexes for available ports on the base module and expansion data modules. By reserving these IfIndexes, the Passport 4460 guarantees that a specific port always uses the same IfIndex. For instance, Port 1 always uses IfIndex 150 to refer to the physical interface.
The following table lists I fIndexes that are r eserved f or use by t he ports l ocated on the base module.
Port Number IfIndex - Physical Port IfIndex - Connector IfIndex - Service
1 150 151 152 2 153 154 155 3 156 157 158
There are three reserved IfIndexes associated with each port. For Port 1, IfIndex 150 refers to the phys ic al port interface, 151 re fers to the connector interface, and 152 refers to the frame relay service.
Appendix A IfIndexes and Interface Identification
IfIndex Ranges
Although the following ranges of IfIndexes may not currently be assigned, they are reserved and you should assign them only to the indicated interface type:
• 1-4: Ethernet port assignments
• 5-32: Additional virtual ports
• 33-148: Voice assignments
• 149-206: WAN port and Expansion port assignments
Note:
dex assignment for the primary netlink is 149 or 147 (for units with only one Ethernet Base Module port ava ilable) . The Pass port 440 0 Ins tall Tool automatically deletes IfIndex assignments 149 and 147. Install Tool may be used at any time for installation and/or configuration of the Passport 4460 unit. You should make sure the primary netlink is assigned to an IfIndex of 207 or higher, and avoid assigning anything to either IfIndex 149 or 147.
If the Passport 4460 unit is set to factory defaults, the default IfIn-

Safe IfIndex Ranges
You can assign available IfIndexes between 207 and 255 when creating, for example, a frame relay tunnel PVC, and not worry about the assignment being overwritten when new modules are defined on the Passport 4460 unit. Go to,

PPA Number
The Point of Physical Attachment (PPA) is not a literal physical point of attachment, but is an internal identifier for the Passport 4460 code. Each PPA can have one or more IfIndexes associated with it, but the PPA numbers are unique only within the module; they are not unique across all devices or slots.
Appendix A IfIndexes and Interface Identification
63
For physical interfaces, the PPA number corresponds to the physical port number on the module. For logical or virtual interfaces, the number corresponds to a logical port or inter face a nd is depe ndent on the int erfac e module t ype. If a de vice does not support PPAs, the value -1 indicates that the field is not used as an identifier.
Slot Name
The physical interf ace module is the na me that the Passpor t 4460 uses to ident ify a module interface. The base module is always base, and expansion modules are named exp1 and exp2.The Serial Daughter Boards (SDBs) are considered expansions to t he bas e mo dule itsel f, an d a re r eferr ed t o as Port 2 a nd Port 3 of the base module.
Channel Number
The channel number along with the slot and PPA number, uniquely identifies an interface within a device type. However, the channel number itself is not unique across all device types.
To display the channel number of an interface, along with additional interface information, use the following CLI command:
CLI> show system interfaceExtension operational table
See “Configurat or Proce dure fo r Displ aying t he IfInde x Table” on page 60 for the Configurator steps for displaying IfIndex parameters.
For interfaces describing serial data connections (data ports), the channel number refers to the physical data channel. For interfaces describing voice channels, the channel number refers to the corresponding voice channel number. For interface types that do not use a channel number, the value of -1 is used.
