BOUT THE

The telecommunications network service market is rapidly changing, where network monitoring, control, and higher performance in packet processing are not only expected, but demanded, at competitive price points. Verilink’s WANsuite family is based on our innovative, next-generation WAN access architecture − a high ly flexible and po werful arch itecture that ca n meet th e needs of many different customers in many different applications. Because it is so flexible, WANsuite products will continually evolve, offering our customers cutting-edge features at competitive prices.

SUITE

5160/5130

The WANsuite 5160 is a service-aware T1/FT1 CSU/DSU with two Network ports (both of which operate in long-haul and short-haul mode); two Serial ports software-configurable for RS-232, EIA-530, or V.35 electrical connections; an asynchronous Supervisory port; a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface; four status LEDs; an LCD front panel; and three input control keys. The WANsuite 5130 has one Serial port and does not have a Network 2 port. Except for these two differences, the 5130 has the same features as the 5160. Capable of accommodating a wide range of network configurations, the WANsuite 5160 and 5130 effectively combine voice, data, and network traffic over a single transmission facility and work with industry-standard network management solutions.

All of WANsuite 5160/5130’s installation, performance configuration, traffic monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured through the units’ embedded We b server interface (WANsight™) using Microsoft® Internet Explorer™ . The W eb ser ver interfa ce can be accessed locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through the Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s advanced monitorin g and co ntrol cap abilit y that gives network administrators the ability to plan future capacity requirements. To extend the WANsuite 5160/5130’s functionality even further, Verilink offers an element management software system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.

About the WANsuite 5160/5130 1-1

The unit’s built-in ServiceAware™ technology lets network managers maximize available WAN bandwidth and verify SLAs. This management platform lets the end user see network activity (performance) and problems (diagnostics) on any permanent virtual circuit (PVC), access line or physical circuit.

Verilink’s FrameStart™ technology is standard with the WANsuite 5160/5130 and benefits the initial installation of frame relay circuits by eliminating the requirement for a frame relay test set. FrameStart ensures that T1 circuit status, signal quality, loopback code detection, access link condition, and the various Layer 2 frame relay investigation and reporting features ar e availabl e and ac curate.

Another feature of the WANsuite product line, IP Gateway enables IP packet rout ing throughout a LAN/WAN network architecture using static routing configurations or dynamic routing protocols (Routing Information Protocol − RIP 1 and RIP 2 − or Open Shortest Path First − OSPF).

RIP 1 and RIP 2 allow routers to exchange routing information. WANsuite then uses this information exchange to build routing tables for IP Packet routes. After building the routing tables, WANsuite periodically broadcasts the contents to neighboring routers so that your network can choose the most efficient rou tes available.

OSPF uses link-state routing algorithms to calculate routes based on the number of routers, transmission speeds, delays, and route costs. Using the OSPF protocol, WANsuite works with other routers in your telecommunications fabric to dynamically change routing “on the fly” to make use of the most efficient and cost-effective transit across your network.

Because IP Gateway enables WANsuite to route IP traffic either statically or dynamically across your LAN/WAN architecture, your need for costly routers is substantially reduced. WANsuite is a one-stop solution that can help you meet the requirements of your many different applications.

DHCP uses a server-clie nt architecture to assign IP addresses to PCs and workstations on the LAN. The DHCP server dynamically assigns these IP

addresses, which can be either temporary or permanent, to each PC or workstation (DHCP client). These IP addresses are "housed" on the DHCP server.

NAT e nables an enterprise to set up two sets of IP addresses − one set fo r internal network use (or LAN traffic) and one set for external use (or Internet traffic). This can provide a layer of security f or a company by eliminating

outside access to internal IP addresses from the In ternet. Bridging separate LANs together is another option for the IP traffic. Using

the IEEE Standard 802.1D Transparent Bridging specification, the WANsuite 5160/5130 can simplify your network architecture by allowing you to bridge separate LANs across a WAN so they operate as a single LAN.

The WANsuite 5160/5130 gives service providers and enterprise customers the capability to monito r end-to -end n etwork p erforma nce (with support for up to 256 virtual circuits) as well as the capability to verify Service Level Agreements (SLAs); isolate performance problems to the LAN, local loop, or

1-2 WANsuite 5160/5130

frame relay network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and monitor network trends to aid in future capacity planning.

TCP Server, a feature of the WANsuite product line, provides connectivity to multiple endpoints by associating a TCP port with each endpoint while

reducing the number of physical connections at the central site to one 10/100Base-T Ethernet port.

Features of the WANsuite 5160/5130

Performance

Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as single-function devices such as CSUs/DSUs, but have not been optimized to address higher level traffic issues such as service levels and integration. Verilink's architecture and Web-based user interface work together to address all access issues as services and ap plications , rather th an as circ uits and protocols, for exceptional WAN management performance.

To further leverage its Web browser interface, Verilink's new architecture also allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with password control, if desired.

SNMP Management

With integrated SNMP in-band management, enterprise managers can now manage Verilink WANsuite units and their integral CSUs/DSUs as a single unit. With only one LAN segment in the network, all Verilink WANsuite platforms can be managed by SNMP. With self-learning functionality, these platforms learn their frame rel ay environmen t and eliminate the need for remote, trained personnel. By downloading all configuration parameters from the central site, no interaction is required at remote sites to establish connectivity. WANs can be constructed using frame relay or leased-line services. Verilink’s WAN suite 5160/5130 allows any port to be configured for any of its available service technologies through simple software configuration. Network managers can now fine tune the enterprise network for the lowest cost and highest performance.

Intelligent WAN Access Architecture

Verilink's next-gen eration WAN access architect ure is built around a PowerPC™ processor, and works with non-proprietary network management solutions via SNMP. An embedded Web server supplies a simple-to-use interface for configuration and statistics collection, with a service table for mapping services to ports, an endpoint table for configuring and monitoring service endpoints, and a user table for traffic monitoring and control.

About the WANsuite 5160/5130 1-3

Optional Advanced Network Management

As an option for the WANsuite 5160/5130, Verilink offers a network management system based on RedPoint's NetVoyant™ software, which was designed to provide IT professionals with the information required to make informed, enterprise-wide capacity-planning and investment decisions. NetVoyan t is an NT -based element m anageme nt syst em that i ncludes an ODBC-compliant database, CORBA IDLs for customization and flexibility, real-time diagnostics, and extensive reporting and trending application support. The solution employs an open-system, multi-vendor support approach for network management, monitoring, and the collection of statistics from any SNMP-based networking device, including Verilink equipment already in the field.

WANsuite extends the functionality of NetVoyant’s software by incorporating customized configuration modules. This advanced network management system is offered as an option for the WANsuite 5160/5130. Please contact Verilink for availability and pricing information.

About FrameStart Technology

The WANsuite 5160/5130’s FrameStart technology ensures that frame relay service is operational prior to installation and connection to other equipment. FrameStart’s integral frame relay circuit installation and diagnostic tools help reduce equipment and installation costs, simplify configuration setup, and alleviate frame relay connection uncertainties − all in one unit.

The WANsuite 5160/5130 supports both FrameStart Install and FrameStart Monitor modes as well as Layer 2 statistics gathering and diagnostic capabilities that maximize network availability and manage the growth of the network.

NOTICE: For information on pinout assignments for this connector, refer to

Supervisory Port Pin Assignments on page A-10. See Ordering Information on page A-6 for information on cables for this connector.

The Supervisory port performs several different functions. It serves as the VT100 interface port, providing VT100 screens. It also supports asynchronous PPP, providing access to the Web Server interface. In addition, the Supervisory port is an asynchronous data port. Data is encapsulated in frame relay packets and then transmitted through the Network port.

On power-up, the Supervisory port sends out diagnostic messages at the bit rate of 115.2 kbps until the Supervisory service acquires the Supervisory port. These diagnostic messages can disrupt the connected device; however, you can configure the unit to disable their transmission.

NOTICE: A null modem (crossover) cable is required to connect a modem to the

Supervisory port.

The WANsuite 5160/5130 provides one 10/100 ETHERNET in terf ace . Th is interface is an eight-pin modular jack that complies with standard twisted-pair, 10/100Base-T requirements. The 10/100Base-T cable is supplied by the end user. Refer to Ethernet Connection Pin Assignments on page A-9 for pin assignments and cable descriptions.

Ethernet LED Indicators

There are two unlabeled indicator LEDs on either side of the

10/100 ETHERNET jack. The LED on the left side of the jack pulses amber to

indicate da ta activ ity (eith er trans mit or re ceive). The L ED on th e righ t side of the jack lights green to indicate that the link layer is operational.

Serial Interface(s)

The two SERIAL interfaces on the 5160 and the single SERIAL interfa ce on the 5130 located on the rear of the units are multi-protocol interfaces presented physically as DB-25 connections. The protocols supported by these interfaces are RS-232, EIA-530, and V.35.

Optional cables that adapt the DB-25 interface to the 34-pin V.35 interface are available. These cables are listed under Optional Equipment on page A- 6. DB-25–to –DB-25 cables are al so available if your instal lation needs require them. See Ordering Information on page A-6 for details.

The WANsuite 5160/5130 has an innovative, embedded Web-based user interface (WANsight) for remote configuration and real-time reporting via Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. Access to the Web server interface and how the interface is used to configure the WANsuite 5160/5130 unit are described in detail below.

NOTICE: Verilink recommends the use of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5.0 or

higher because if you use other Internet browsers to access the Web server interface , some screen elemen ts will not disp lay as describe d in this manual.

NOTICE: The material presented in this chapter follows the order listed in the

Configuration through the VT100 interface is covered in Chapter 4, and configuration through the front panel is covered in Chapter 5.

Web Server Access

You can access the Web Server interface by connecting to its IP address. This connection can be directly through the 10/100 Ethernet port, in-band via PPP over any port, or in-band via encapsulated IP traffic on the Frame Relay circuit.

NOTICE: Any changes to the unit’s configuration MUST be followed by a

navigation bar on t he left side of the Web Server interface screen. However, because the parameters you specify in the Service Table attach proto cols to inter faces , you m ust c onfig ure t he Serv ice Table first. (See S ervic es Scr een on page 3-19.) You will not be able to allocate channels (see Channel Table Details Screen on page 3-26) until the Service Table has been configured.

“Submit” if there is a “Submit” button on the menu. If you change the Service Table, you must perform a “Save and Restart.”

Web Server Interface 3-1

To access the Web Server interface, type th e unit’s IP address in the browser’s Address (or Location) field and press the “Enter” key.

Layout of Interface Screens

When you first access the Web Server interface, your browser will display a screen that is divided into three frames. The upper frame forms a border across the top of the screen; it identifies the Verilink unit in service and displays the hardware and software revision and serial numbers under which the unit is operating. The far right corner of the upper frame displays whether or not a “Save an d Restar t” is nece ssary when param eters are change d on the currently displayed screen.

The area beneath the upper frame is divided into two side-by-side frames. The frame on the left side of t his area d epicts a hierarch ical “tree” structure used to navigate through the various interface screens. Each “branch” on the tree guides you to more specific upper-level information about the unit and its configuration. Note that the Interfaces, Applications, and Utilities branches do not link to a page − these branches simply provide structure for navigation. The frame on the right side of the screen will display the actual configuration or display screen. The screen captures throughout this chapter show only the configurat ion/displa y portion of the s creen, ex cept in th e case of the Uni t screen, which shows all three frames. The Unit screen represents the top of the navigation tree.

Unit Screen

The Unit screen shown in Figure 3.1 is the first screen displayed by your unit’s Web Server interface. The Unit screen for the WANsuite 5130 is very similar to the 5160, with the exception being that the 5130 has one Network and one Serial interface listed in the navigation pane on the left-hand side of the screen. The Unit screen lets you view and set specific information about the u ni t in s erv ice.

Interfaces

Network Screens

Figure 3.3

The WANsuite 5160 has the following interfaces: Network 1, Network 2, Serial 1, Serial 2, 10/100 Ethernet, and Supervisory. The WANsuite 5130 has one Network and one Serial interface, but in other respects has the same interfaces with the same parameters as the WANsuite 5160. Each of the interfaces and their associ ated screen s/menus a re des cribed be low.

The WANsuite 5160 Network (Figure 3.4) screens let you view and make changes to the Network interfaces’ configuration as described below. In addition, the screens provide a table that displays the alarm values for the Network interfaces. All Network ports operate in either long-haul or shorthaul mode. On the WANsuite 5160, the Network 1 and 2 screens are the same except that at the top of the Network 2 screen (shown in Figure 3.5), there is an additional parameter, “Function,” that’s described, along with the other screen para meters, below.

Determines if the unit will attempt to discover active DS0s (after power-up, Save and Restart). Active DS0s will then be assigned to the first associated network service.

Values: Disable, Enable Default: Disable

Specifies the rate at which each disc overed DS 0 wil l be set.

Values: As 56K/64K Default: As 64K

NOTICE: The unit will search for active DS0s for a maximum of 7 seconds if

learning “As 64k” and for 30 seconds if learning “As 56K.”

Error Status and Alarm Thresholds Table

The unit can be programmed to generate an alarm condition based on a specific level of performance degradation. The Network screens present a table that provides current error status and alarm threshold information.

Acceptable alarm thresholds are set for periods 15 minutes (900 seconds) and sampled every second. The error types listed in the following paragraphs can be preset to a value between 0 and 900 seconds. Setting a field to “0” (zero) disables the alarm on that statistic. To effectively disable alarm reporting, set all fields to “0” (ze ro).

The 15-minute time frame is not based on the TR 54016 or T1.403 interval boundaries, but is a time window based on the accumulated counts over the previous fifteen 1-minute intervals. In all cases, if the number of actual network errored seconds in the previous 15 minutes reaches the preset threshold for the specified error type, an alarm condition is declared.

The four columns o f the s tatus tab le are as follows:

• Status Displays the current status of the network port.

• Alarm Displays the alarm value of the network port. The unit

• Count Displays t he numb er of eve nts or o ccurrence s of this statistic

• Threshold A read/write field that can be set to a desirable threshold.

The table provides error sta tus and alarm thre shold in formation f or the following error pa rameters:

Serial Screens

The Serial 1 and Serial 2 screens on the WANsuite 5160 or Serial screen on the WANsuite 5130 let you view and make changes to the unit’s Serial interface configuration as described below. The parameters on all Serial screens are the same except for the Invert Clock parameter, which is found only on the Serial 2 screen; therefore, the WANsuite 5160 Serial 2 screen (Figure 3.9) is the only one shown below.

Web Server Interface 3-11

Serial 2 Screen

Type

Mode

This param eter sel ects the ty pe of i nterface ( based on i ts elec trical signa l character istics) used by the equipmen t conne cted to th e Serial po rt.

Values: V.35, RS-232, EIA-530 Default: V.35

NOTICE: V.35 requires the use of an optional cable. Refer to Optional Equipment

on page A-6 for ordering information.

By default, the Serial port serves as a DCE port in both Packet and TDM modes. However, the Serial port can serve as a DTE port when the unit is in Packet m ode.

If the Serial port connects to a DTE device (such as a FRAD or a router), the Mode parameter must be set to “DCE.” If this port connects to a DCE device (such as a DSU/CSU), this parameter must be set to “DTE” (valid only for Packet m ode, not T DM).

Values: DCE, DTE Default: DCE

NOTICE: DTE mode requires the use of an optional DTE cable. Refer to

Appendix A for ordering information.

Packet Rate

If the port is running in Packet mode, the Rate must be configured to the desired port speed (in bits per second). In TDM mode, the port speed rate will be set by configuring the next four parameters (Start Channel, Number of Channels, Bundling, and Channel Rate).

Values: Nx56K or Nx64K where N = 1-32 Default: 1536 kbps

3-12 WANsuite 5160/5130

Bundling

Selects whether the DTE channel assignment is made as a “Contiguous” group or as “Alternate” channels. Selecting “Alternate” ensures ones density. Because the unit allows individual channels to be configured for a service, a value of “Arbitrary” will be returne d for this parame ter if the current channel allocation is not contiguous or Alternate. The “Arbitrary” value can only be supplied by the unit − it cannot be set by the user.

Values: Contiguous, Alternate, Arbitrary Default: Contiguous

NOTICE: Because “Alternate” Bundling assigns every other channel, only half

the channels are available.

Start Channel

Number of Channels

Channel Rate

Invert Clock

Selects the starting channel in the 24-channel DS1 bit stream. Starting with the specified channel, the unit automatically assigns the channels that follow.

Values: 1 through 24 Default: 1

Specifies the number of channels to be assigned to the DTE.

Values: 0 through 24 Default: 24 Channel Rate

The unit can operate at any data rate that is a multiple of 56 or 64 kbps. If “Νx64K” is selected, the ones density requirements of the T1 network line must be ensured . If “Νx56K” is selected, ones density for the selected DS0 channel is maintained.

Values: Nx56K, Nx64K Default: Nx64K

NOTICE: Start Channel, Number of Channels, and Channel Rate cannot be

changed if Bundling is not also changed from “Arbitrary.”

In DTE Packet mode, this parameter changes the clock edge of the transmitted data. The Invert Clock parameter is only available for use in DTE mode, and DTE mode is only available for the Serial 2 port. Consequently, this configuration option only works for the Serial 2 port, and should remain disabled when configuring services for the Serial 1 port.

Values: Disable, Enable Default: Disable

Character Size

Tx Clock

Selects the number of bits required to make up one asynchronous character.

Values: Five, Six, Seven, Eight Default: Eight

Selects the clock the unit uses to sample the data transmitted from the DTE. When se t to “ In tern al, ” th e da ta i s sa mple d d irec tly wi th th e t rans mit data

Web Server Interface 3-13

clock that is also supplied to the DTE as Transmit Clock. The “External” option uses the external clock from the DTE.

Values: Internal, External Default: Internal

NOTICE: The “External” option is valid only in Packet mode.

Format

Parity

Stop Bit

V.54

Selects the port’s operating mode.

Values: Sync, Async Default: Sync

Sets the parity bit if the port is asynchronous.

Values: None, Odd, Even Default: None

Selects the number of bits required to end the character.

Values: 1, 2 Default: 1

The Local Loopback parameter can be set to “Enable” or “Disable.” Selecting “Enable” allows the unit to go into Local Loop when the LL pin on the Serial 1 port goes high. The unit exits the loop when the LL pin goes low. If you select “Disable,” the unit ignores the LL pin on the Serial port.

Values: Disable, Enable Default: Disable

Selecting “Enable” allows the unit to respond to in-band V.54 loop codes. If you select “Disable,” the unit ignores these codes.

Values: Disable, Enable Default: Disable

CTS

The Clear T o Send p arameter can be set to “Forced Tr ue,” “For ced Fal se,” or “Internal.” If this parameter is set to “Internal,” the CTS control lead follows the RTS control lead from the DTE after a delay of a duration established by the RTS/CTS Delay parameter.

Values: Forced True, Forced False, Internal Default: Fo rced Tru e

DSR

Data Set Ready can be set to “Forced True,” “Forced False,” or “Internal.” The “Internal” option sets DSR “On” if the port is enabled and “Off” if the port is disabled.

Values: Forced True, Forced False, Internal Default: Fo rced Tru e

DCD

The Data Carrier D etect p arameter ca n be se t to “Forc ed True ,” “Forced False,” or “Intern al.” If se t to “Intern al,” DC D is “O n” when network carrier

3-14 WANsuite 5160/5130

is being received from the remote end, and is “Off” when network carrier is not being recei ved from the far end.

Values: Forced True, Forced False, Internal Default: Fo rced Tru e

RTS

RTS/CTS Delay

Flow Control

The Request To Send parameter determines the source from which the unit reads the RTS signal status. If set to “Normal,” the unit gets RTS from the DTE on the Serial interface. If set to “Forced True,” RTS is always perceived as “On.”

Values: Normal, Forced True Default: Normal

The Request To Send/Clear To Send parameter determines how long the unit waits before it changes the level of CTS to match RTS when the CTS parameter is set to “Internal.”

Values: Normal (~30 ms delay), Long (~100 ms delay) Default: Normal

Selects the type of flow control to be used if the port is asynchronous.

Values: None, Xon/Xoff, RTS/CTS Default: None

Current Pin Status

The Current Pin Status, which shows the state of the RS-232 pins, is also displayed on the Serial interface screens.

DTR Alarm Control and Status Table

In addition to the configurable fields, the Serial screen displays a table that lets you set the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Alarm Control parameters and view the c urrent DT R Alarm Statu s.

Choices for DTR Alarm Control are “Enable” and “Disable”; the default setting is “Disable.” Setting DTR Alarm Control to “Enable” allows the unit to go into alarm on a loss of DTR, which occurs when the Serial port detects that the D TR s ignal is low . Th e DTR Stat us fi eld indi cates the cu rrent state o f the DTR alarm.

To make changes to any Serial port parameter, simply set the parameter to the desired selection and click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the screen.

Web Server Interface 3-27

Figure 3.25

Frame Relay Service Deta ils Screen

Interface Type

Link Management

Max Frame Size

If this service is conn ected to a Frame Relay net work, the Interface Type should be set to “UNI” as it is the user side of a User-to-Network interface. If it is connected to a FRAD/Router, the Interface Type should be set to “NI” as it is the network side of a User-to-Network interface. If it is connected to an equipment set for Network-to-Network interface, the Interface Type should be set to “NNI.”

Values: UNI, NI, NNI Default: UNI if interface is Network, NI if interface is Serial

This parameter should be set to the link management used by the equipment connected to it. If set to “Auto,” the unit will learn the link management type and display it on the status portion of this screen.

Once it discovers the link management type, the unit should be set to the discovered value so that subsequent unit or network re-initialization will be faster.

Values: Auto, ANSI, CCITT, LMI, None Default: ANSI

If Auto Diagnostic is set to “Yes,” the unit will discard received frames that are larger than the maximum frame size. If Auto Diagnostic is set to “No,” these large received frames will be sent, but will be counted in the Rx Invalid statistics.

Values: 64–4096 Default: 2500

3-28 WANsuite 5160/5130

This counter indicates the number of “keep alive” status inquiries that are sent between full status requests.

Values: 5–255 Default: 5 if interfa ce is N etwork (U NI), 6 i f interfa ce is Serial (NI).

The N2 counter specifies the total number of link reliability errors and protocol errors that can occur during the sliding event monitor count defined by N3. If this count is exceeded, the port is declared inactive.

Values: 1–255 Default: 3

This counter represents a Monitored Events Count. For a network, a monitored event is the receipt of a status inquiry message or the expiration of the polling verification timer T2. For a FRAD, a monitored event is the transmission of a status enquiry message. This parameter defines the size of the sliding window used by the unit to determine whether a channel or user device is active.

Values: 5–255 Default: 4

This parameter specifies the number of seconds the unit waits between issuing status inquiry messages.

Values: 5–30 Default: 10

RFC1315 Trap

Normal Tx Queue Size

When this parameter is set to “Enable,” the unit will send the standard RFC1315 frame relay DTE circuit state change trap every time a DLCI changes state, provided at least one destination IP address for trap is configured in the SNMP configuration.

Values: Disable, Enable Default: Disable

Each Frame Relay service has two distinct transmit queues: one for normalpriority traffic and one for high-priority traffic. At this time, only SCADA and TCP Server traffic are considered high-priority and are placed in the highpriority queue. All other types of traffic are placed in the normal-priority queue.

This parameter defines how many normal priority frames can be put in front of a high-priority frame. The sofware always checks for high-priority frames before placing normal-priority frames in the transmit queue. However, once the frames are in the hardware transmit queue, their order of transmission cannot be changed.

If SCADA and/or TCP Server are not up, set this parameter to 28 (the default). If SCADA and/or TCP Server are up, set this parameter according to the SCADA host system’s ability to support higher latency. For example, if a SCADA host system has a timeout of 500 ms when polling remote devices through a DDS Fr ame Rel ay servic e, the No rmal Tx Q ueue S ize param eter should be set to 2. This would allow two 1500-byte IP frames to be sent

Web Server Interface 3-29

between SCADA frames without reaching the 500-ms limit. If the SCADA host application has a timeout lower than 500 ms, this parameter should be set to 1. This then ensures a minimum latency for SCADA applications. However, it will slow IP traffic since only one IP frame at a time can be placed in the hardw are transmit queu e.

Default CIR (bps)

Default Be Rate (bps)

Enforce CIR and Be

This is the Committed Information Rate (in bits per second) provided by your frame relay service provider. The unit will apply this value to each DLCI learned from the network side to gather statistics and to perform CIR enforcem ent, if req uired. If a DLCI i s configu red with a CIR different from the default, the DLCI configuration will be used instead.

Values: 0–1536000 Default: 0

This is the Excess Burst Rate (in bits per second) provided by your frame relay service provider. The unit will apply this value to each DLCI learned from the network side to gather statistics and to perform CIR enforcement, if required. If a DLCI is configured with a different Excess Burst from the default, the DLCI configuration will be used instead.

Values: 0–1536000 Default: 0

If this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will enforce Committed Information Rate and E xcess Burst.

Values: No, Yes Default: No

NOTICE: The Auto Diagnostic parameter must be set to “Yes” to enforce CIR and

Be.

Management DLCI

If there is a DLCI entered (and submitted) in this field, it will be the only DLCI that looks for in-band management packets. If a value of “0” (zero) is entered in this field, all DLCIs will look for management packets.

Management Auto IP

DLCI

If this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will monitor the specified management DLCI for 5 pings over 5 seconds, after which the unit uses the destination address as its management IP address.

FrameStart Auto

Diagnostic

When this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will always source LMI on both sides of the frame relay connection. The unit will dynamically learn the type of link management used on each side of the connection (Network and Serial).

When set to “No,” the unit will monitor LMI between the Serial and the Network port. If one side of the connection goes down, it will source LMI until the connection goes back up, and will automatically go back to Monitor mode once both sides are up. In Monitor mode, the unit will switch all frames received between the network and the serial port regardless of the number of DLCIs o r frame si ze.

3-30 WANsuite 5160/5130

FrameStart Auto Diagnostic mode should be left set to “Yes” unless the frame relay connection has more that 128 DLCIs, or if there is a very high traffic rate on a constant basis.

Values: No, Yes Default: Yes

NOTICE: If either side of the Frame Relay connection goes down, you will be

unable to remotely access any connected units.

FrameStart Auto

Discovery

Round T rip Delay Size

(bytes)

Round T rip Delay Rate

(secs)

When this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will send FrameStart discovery and delay frames to each DLCI it learns as soon as the DLCIs are set active. This is required to calculate round trip delay as well as to discover remote WANsuite 5160/5130/FST/FSD units. This parameter should be set to “Yes” only on network services that have a WANsuite 5160/5130/FST/FSD at the far end of the frame relay connection. Also if set to “Yes,” the unit will gather SLA parameters such as frame and data delivery ratio as defined in the Frame Relay Forum Implementation, FRF.13. Those gathered statistics are then displayed on the DLCI Statistics screen as shown on page 3-49.

Values: No, Yes Default: No

Specifies the frame size (in bytes) of packets making the round-trip.

Specifies the rate (in seconds) at which Round Trip Delay packets are sent.

Status and Alarms Table

The table displayed at the bottom of the Frame Relay Service Details screen reports on the status and condition of LMI parameters and on Receive/ Transmit alarms and thresholds.

Endpoint Table Screen

The Endpoint Table (Figure 3.36) describes all endpoints terminating in the unit; links are provided to view the Endpoint Details, Endpoint Service Details, and Endpoint DLCI Details screens. The unit will automatically learn all DLCIs from the Network side and relay that information on the Serial side with default values.

The Endpoint Table and its corresponding DLCIs will be saved in the configuration database only after at least one endpoint parameter has been changed and submitted in the Endpoint Details screen (page 3-42).

NOTICE: The Endpoint Table and its corresponding DLCIs will be saved in the

configuration database only after at least one endpoint parameter has been changed and submitted in the Endpoint Details Screen on page 3-43. When in IP Gateway, if you decide to use a “discovered” endpoint, you must rename it. A discovered endpoint cannot be used elsewhere (i.e., IP Gateway) until it has been renamed. Also, it will not be saved in the configuration database.

NOTICE: Endpoint names of the form PPP-Sn and SCADA-Sn are reserved by the

system. These system-generated endpoints cannot be modified.

When the unit learns a new DLCI, it creates an endpoint entry and a DLCI entry if they are not already configured. The endpoint’s Name will automatically be assigned as “Dynamic”; however, this name can (and most likely should) be changed to reflect a remote location name. Submitting a changed Name parameter will cause the endpoint entry and its corresponding DLCI entry to be saved in the configuration database.

Value: A string of up to 11 characters Default: None

CAUTION: When configuring endpoints, the name you assign each endpoint in

the Name parameter field must be unique within the unit.

Values: 16–1023 Default: 0

Forward Endpoint

By default, each DLCI is switched to its pair service in the Service Table using the same DLCI number. If this endpoint has to be switched to a different DLCI or a different service, the endpoint index of the destination must be configured here.

For most applications, you will not need to set this parameter.

Values: 0–256 Default: 0

Web Server Interface 3-43

Backup Endpoint

If this DLCI has an alternative endpoint to switch to in case this DLCI becomes inactive, you would configure the endpoint index of this alternative endpoint here.

For most applications, you will not need to set this parameter.

Values: 0–256 Default: 0

SLP Reference

Endpoint

Remote IP Address

This is the reference endpoint index to use for the SLA parameters. As most applications have the same SLAs for all DLCIs, they need to be configured in only one DLCI entry. All SLA parameters can then be copied from the endpoint index of this configured DLCI. If no SLP reference endpoint is configured and the DLCI SLA parameters are not configured, the values in the Frame Relay Service Details will be used (default CIR, Be, enforcement).

For most applications, you will not need to set this parameter.

Values: 0–256 Default: 0

If this WANsuite 5160/5130 unit is to be used to manage a remote WANsuite 5160/5130 unit, the IP address of the remote WANsuite 5160/5130 unit must be configured here. This DLCI can be used for management only, or for management and actual data.

IP Gateway Details Screen

The IP Gateway is a feature of the WANsuite 5160/5130 that allows routing of IP packets from one network to another using static routes configuration and/or dynamic routing. The IP Gateway uses Routing Information Protocol (RIP) 1 or RIP 2 or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing.

RIP 1 and RIP 2 are protocols that allow exchange of routing information between two routers. With that information exchange, a router can build its own routing tables that later can be used for “routing” IP packets.

OSPF is a shortest path first (SPF) or link-state protocol. OSPF is also an internal gateway protocol (IGP) that distributes routing information between routers in a single autonomous system (AS). OSPF chooses the least cost path as the be st path.

While RIP is ideal for small- to medium-sized networks, OSPF is more suitable for complex networks with a large number of routers. OSPF provides equal cost multipath routing where packets to a single destination can be sent via more than one interface simultaneously.

The IP Gateway also supports unnumbered networks. An unnumbered network is a point-to-point connection without an assigned IP address This feature reduces the number of IP addresses required.

When configured, this parameter allows an authentication procedure to be executed on the OSPF header. If the 64-bit (8 character) password does not correspond, the packet is thrown away.

Values: 64 bits ( 8 charact ers)

Default: 8 spaces (no authen tication)

Static Routes Screen

Under some circumstances, it may not be necessary for a router to learn a route using ordinary means such as RIP or OSPF. It is possible under these circumstances for you to add a route to the route table of a router.

Web Server Interface 3-65

The Static Route Table is always associated with a circuit. Access this screen by selecting the Static Route Table from the RIP Parameters Table on the IP Gateway Details screen.

Dynamic Route Table Screen

Access this menu by selecting “Static Route Table” from the RIP Parameters table on the IP Gateway menu and then selecting Dynamic Route Table. This table shows all known dynamic and static routes. Please note that not all parameters are necessarily defined, depending on whether or not the routes were learned dynamically. Primarily, the most useful information is included in "Destination," "Interface Index," and "Mask" columns.

Static ARP Table Screen

Address Resolution Protocol, or ARP, is used by the router to dynamically associate a high-level IP address with a low-level physical hardware address. ARP packets are only sent across a single physical network.

There are some cases when an IP-compatible device does not support ARP or ARP is deliberately disabled (for security). In these cases, instead of using ARP to dynamically update the router internal MAC <-> IP Address Table, you can use this menu to force an entry into that table. This entry never times out.

NOTICE: At least one circuit must be defined to create a Static ARP Table entry

Access this menu by selecting “Static ARP Table” from the RIP Parameters screen on the I P Gateway menu. The ARP Table is useful when a Host does not respond to an ARP request.

because an ARP entry is always associated with a circuit.
