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. 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.

WAN

SUITE

5330

Verilink’s WANsuite 5330 is a feature-rich, intelligent integrated access device (I based services − including high-speed Internet access − at price points expected of single-function devices.

The WANsuite 5330 is built on Verilink's innovative, next-generation WAN access arch itecture. This unit is a single network port, service aware DDS DSU/CSU with a serial port software-configurable for RS-232, EIA-530, or V.35 electrical connections, an asynchronous Supervisory port that supports PPP and tty, a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface, five status LEDs, and two input control keys. Capable of accommodating a wide range of network configurations, the WANsuite 5330 effectively combines voice, data, and network traffic over a single transmission facility and works with nonproprietary network management solutions.

The WANsuite 5330 gives service providers and enterprise customers the capability to m onitor end -to-end network perfor mance (with support of 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 frame relay network; determine appropriate bandwidth need; and monitor network trends to aid in future capacity planning.

All of WANsuite 5330’s installation, performance configuration, traffic monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured through the unit’s embedded We b server interface (WANsight™) using Microsoft locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through

AD) for managing multiple applications and mixed-mode packet-

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 5330’s functionality even further, Verilink offers an element management software system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.

The unit’s built-in ServiceAware™ technology allows network managers to 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 5330 and benefits the initial installation of frame relay circuits by eliminating the requiremen t for a frame rel ay test se t. Fram eStart ens ures that DDS circ uit status, signal quality, loopback code detection, access link condition, and the various Layer 2 frame relay investigation and reporting features are available and accura te.

Features of the WANsuite 5330

Performance

Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as singlefunction devices such as CSU/DSUs, but have not been optimized to address higher level traffic issues such as service levels and integration. Verilink's architectur e and W eb-base d user int erface wo rk togeth er to ad dress all ac cess issues as services and applications, rather than as circuits 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 CSU/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 WANsuite 5330 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 with 50 MIPs of processing power and 16 Mbytes of onboard memory, and works with nonproprietary 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.

Optional Advanced Network Managemen t

As an option for the WANsuite 5330, 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. NetVoyant is an NT-based element managem ent sys tem that includes a n ODB C-compl iant 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 SNMPbased 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 5330. Please contact Verilink for availability and pricing information.

About FrameStart Technology

The WANsuite 5330’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.

WANsuite 5330 supports both FrameStart Install mode and FrameStart Monitor mode as well as Layer 2 statistics gathering and diagnostic capabilities that maximize network availability and manage the growth of the network.

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 screen presents a table that provides current error status, alarm condition, error count, and alarm threshold information.

Acceptable alarm thresholds are set for periods of 1−5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds (900 seconds) and sampled every second. The types of error conditions listed in the following paragraphs can be preset to a value selected from the available enumeration list of thresholds (displayed as a pull-down menu). Setting a threshold field to “None” disables the alarm for that condition. To effectivel y disable alarm rep orting, s et all field s to “N one.”

The 15-minute time frame is a time window based on the accumulated counts over the previous 15 one-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.

LOS

OOF

OOS

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

declares an alarm as soon as the count exceeds the established threshold.

• Count D isplays th e numb er of eve nts or occu rrence s of this

condition that have been detected.

• Threshold This forced-choi ce fiel d can be set to a des ired th resho ld for a

specific error condition. Available threshold choices are None, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, and 30.

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

Sets the Loss of Signal threshold. A LOS is a 1-second period in which the DDS received signal is interrupted. The default value is None.

Sets the Out of Frame threshold. An OOF is a 1-second period in which a frame sync loss occurred. The default value is None.

Sets the Out of Service threshold. An OOS is a 1-second period during which the Out of Service code is received. The default is None.

BPV

Interface Type

Figure 3.13

Frame Relay Service Deta ils Screen

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

Link Management

3-16 WANsuite 5330

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

Max Frame Size

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

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

Values: 5–255 Default: 5 if i nterface is Netw ork (UNI ), 6 if in terface is Serial ( NI).

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 decla red inactiv e.

Values: 1–255 Default: 3

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 inquiry 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

RFC1315 Trap

Default CIR (bps)

Specifies the number of seconds the unit waits between issuing status inquiry messages.

Values: 5–30 Default: 10

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

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: 0–64 k Default: 0

Web Server Interface 3-17

Default Excess Burst

Rate (bps)

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: 0–64 k Default: 0

Enforce CIR and Be

Management DLCI

Management Auto IP

DLCI

FrameStart Auto

Diagnostic

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.

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.

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

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 or Serial).

When set to “No,” the unit will forward each LMI message to its service pair. If one side of the pair goes down, the other side will stop receiving LMI.

FrameStart Auto

Discovery

Round T rip Delay Size

3-18 WANsuite 5330

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

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 discovery of remote WANsuite/FrameStart units. This parameter should be set to “Yes” only on network services that have a WANsuite/FrameStart unit 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 3-35.

Values: No, Yes Default: No

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

Round T rip Delay Rate

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.

Service Aware Screen

The Service Aware function recognizes IP traffic and counts the number of frames and bytes passed for a specific service based on filters by DLCI, by IP Address, and by IP Port. Each row of the Service Aware table represents a specific set of filter parameters known as a “rule.” Each rule is established through the Rule Config screen, which is accessed by clicking the “Rule Details” button at the bottom of the Service Aware screen.

The Service Aware screen (Figure 3.26) provides a table showing these filtered packet counts for up to 10 rules. This table indicates which Service Aware filters are enabled or disabled, and shows the specific DLCI, IP Address, and IP Port by which the IP traffic is filtered. In addition, this table shows the Tx Alarm Thresho ld and the curr ent Tx Al arm stat us (if en abled) for each rule.

It is also possible to filter PPP services, in which case all information related to DLCIs is ignored.

Figure 3.38

In-ban d Man a gement

There are two ways to implement remote in-band management of a WANsuite 5330 unit. The first is to use the local router to route management frames (Web browser or SNMP) between the local LAN and the remote unit. The second is to use the local WANsuite 5330 unit as an independent gateway.

Use of Connected Local Router

If you choose this method, no configuration is required in the WANsuite 5330s. Local Router A will route Web/SNMP frames from the PC to the remote WANsuite 5330s. The remote WANsuite 5330 IP address must be set within the same network as the remote routers B and C LAN network.

If the remote units are required to have an IP address in different Networks from those of the remote routers, a static route will have to be configured in the local router (Router A) for each remote WANsuite 5330 to manage. If Router A becomes unavailable, there is no way to reach the remote WANsuite 5330s.

Introduction

This chapter describes the menus and options associated with the WANsuite 5330’s VT100 interface. The screens displayed throughout this chapter were accessed through a TELNET session.

Accessing the VT100 Interface

HAPTER

VT100 I

C HAPTER

NTERFACE

You can access the VT100 interface locally via the Supervisory port or remotely through a TELNET session. To access the VT 100 screens locally, verify the Supervisory type is “tty” and the Supervisory port speed matches the terminal emulation program that’s being used. (Port speeds supported include the following: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps.) You can access the VT100 interface remotely by opening a TELNET session, entering the unit’s IP address, and connecting to the unit.

Screen Components

The VT100 terminal screens have several components common to all screens (see Figure 4.1 below). These components include the device type (Verilink WANsuite 5330), which is centered on the screen, the software and hardware revision numbers (upper left), the date and time (upper right), the menu title (“Main” in the figure below), and the serial number under which the unit is operating.

Figure 4.1

VT100 Terminal Screen Components

VT100 Interface 4-1

Cursor Controls

The VT100 interface uses a blinking cursor to select various menus and then to select sub-menus and/or fields within those menus. You can navigate using this cursor in different ways, depending on the program you use. Most programs allow use of the “Tab” key and the “Shift+Tab” keys. Others allow use of the arrow keys.

NOTICE: If you are not able to use your arrow keys, access the pull-down

menu under “Terminal,” click on “Preferences,” and be sure the “VT100 Arrows” box is checked.

For keyboards that don’t have these standard keys or have only some of them, an alternative set of cursor control commands is provided. Perform each command by pressing a letter key while holding down the “Ctrl” key. You may use the alternative commands (listed in the table below) and keyboard commands interchangeably at your discretion.

Keyboard Com mand Alternate Command

Left Arrow Ctrl+ S Right Arrow Ctrl+D

Fie ld Types

Up Arrow Ctrl+E Down Arr o w C trl+X Backspace Ctrl+H Delete Ctrl+Z

You can navigate further within a menu as described below.

Each menu screen is composed of fields. The two basic field types are userselectable (most of these are in brackets or parentheses) and display-only (no brackets or parentheses). If you can move the highlighted cursor to a field, that field is user-selectable; all other fields are display-only. User-selectable fields are those in which you can make changes or execute commands. To save changed parameters, in most cases you will “Esc” out of the current menu after changing the parameters. In some cases, you will press the “Enter” key to save new parameters.

Fields enclosed in brackets [ ] offer a list of selections from which to choose. The selections may be made by pressing your Spacebar to “toggle” between choices. Each tim e the Spacebar is press ed, a new item appears. When the item you wish to choose is displayed, press the “Esc” key to save it.

4-2 WANsuite 5330

Fields enclosed in parentheses ( ) are manipulated by one of the following two methods. The first is to press the “Enter” key to simply execute the function. The most common type of field in parentheses accepts typed input

Menu Structure

in the form of letters and/or numbers. Typing characters when the field is highlighted causes t he curre nt entry to be rep laced by the new characters . To edit an existing entry rather than replace it, press the right arrow key to move the cursor to the point that needs editing. You may insert characters or delete them. Typed data must always be inserted rather than typed over. If the field is full, you must first delete at least one character before you can add another.

NOTICE: The VT100 screens are automatically refreshed every 5 seconds.

However, you may also press Ctrl+U to refresh data on any screen.

The Main Menu screen (shown in Figure 4.2) lists the functional useraccessible menus. To activate a specific menu, tab to it (or use your arrow keys) and press “Enter.” To exit this or any subsequent menu, press the “Esc” key. If you exit the Main menu, the terminal interface program terminates. This is a valid way to end a session. When you exit any menu other than the Main menu, you will be returned to the previous screen.

Error Status and Alarm Thresholds Table

Acceptable alarm thresholds are set for periods of 1−5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds (900 seconds) sampled every second. The types of error conditions listed in the following paragraphs can be preset to a value selected from the available enumeration list of thresholds (displayed as a pull-down menu). Setting a threshold field to “None” disables the alarm for that condition. To effectively disable alarm reporting, set all fields to “None.”

VT100 Interface 4-7

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

declares an alarm as soon as the count exceeds the established threshold.

• Count D isplays th e numb er of eve nts or occu rrence s of this

condition that have been detected.

• Threshold This forced-choi ce fiel d can be set to a des ired th resho ld for a

specific error condition. Available threshold choices are None, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, and 30.

Selecting one of the interfaces will bring up a screen where you can view interface parameters. These screens are the same ones displayed when you select a sub-menu from the Interfaces menu described earlier on page 4-6.

NOTICE: One of the Interface options is “Virtual.” PPP is the only service that may

be attached to the Virtual interface. You would choose the Virtual interface for PPP if you elected to run PPP over Frame Relay. When you attach PPP to the Virtual interface, you must supply an endpoint over which to send PPP encapsulated data, and that endpoint must be for a Frame Relay DLCI.

Selecting one of the services listed under the “Type” column will bring up a screen where you can view (and, in some cases, change) parameters for each type of service. The details displayed depend on the type of service currently in effect. These screens are shown and described below according to each type of service.

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

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 DLCI are set active. This is required to calculate round trip delay as well as discovery of remote WANsuite/FrameStart units. This parameter should be set to “Yes” only on network services that have a WANsuite/FrameStart unit at the far end of the frame relay connection.

Values: No, Yes Default: No

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.
