Introduction
The telecommunications network service m arket 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
6x30
ATM product family
provides feature-rich, intelligent
integrated access devices (IADs) for managing multiple applications and
mixed-mode packet-based services
including high-speed Internet access
at
price points expected of single-function devices.
All 6x30 IADs are
ServiceAware
™ units with the following hard ware: a 10/
100Base-T Ethernet port, an asynchronous Supervisory port, a synchronous
Serial port, five tri-color status LEDs, and front panel reset and factory
configuration buttons. The Serial port can be configured for V.35, EIA-530, or
RS-232. The WAN suite 6230 E1 unit can additionally be configured for X.21.
A router or bridge using PPP/HDLC protocols connects to the WANsuite’s
Serial port. The unit utilizes
RFC 1483 to encapsulate the PPP data into ATM
cells. Any router/bridge supporting PPPoA (PPP over ATM)
RFC 1483
encapsulation can be used at the other end of this ATM connection.
The
IP Gateway
, a feature of the WANsuite product line, enables IP packet
routing throughout a LAN/WAN network architecture using static routing
configuration or dynamic routing protocols (Routing Information Protocol
RIP 1 and RIP 2, or Open Shortest Path First
OSPF), Dynamic Host
Communications Protocol
−
DHCP, and Network Address Translation
NAT.
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 routes 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 routes “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-client 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. The flexibility to reassign IP addresses saves the end user money by
eliminating the need for a single IP address for each piece of equipment on
the LAN.
NAT enables an enterprise to set up two sets of IP addresses
−
one set for
internal network use (or LAN traffic) and one set for external use (or Internet
traffic). This can provide a layer of security for a company by eliminating
outside access to internal IP addresses from the Internet.
The WANsuite 6x30 product family gives service providers and enterprise
customers the capability to
monitor end-to-end network performance
(with
support of up to 16 virtual channels); isolate performance problems to the
LAN, local loop, or ATM network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs;
and monitor network trends to aid in future capacity planning.
All of the WANsuite
’
s installation, performance configuration, traffic
monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured
through the unit’s
embedded Web server interface
(
WANsight™
) using
M
icrosoft
®
Internet Explorer™
.
The Web server interface can be accessed
locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through
a Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s
advanced
monitori ng and cont rol capabilit y
that gives network administrators the
ability to plan future capacity requirements.
The unit’s built-in
Service Aware technology
lets networ k managers
maximize available WAN bandwidth and verify SLAs. This m anagement
platform lets the end user see network activity (per formance) and problems
(diagnostics) on any permanent virtual circuit (PVC), access line, or physical
circuit.
Features of the WANsu ite
6x30 Product Family
Perform ance
Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as single-
function devices such as CSU/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
WANsuite 6x30
1-3
issues as services and applications, rather than as circuits and protocols, for
exceptional WAN management performance.
To further lev erage its Web browser int erface, Verilink's new archite cture also
allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with
password control, if desired.
SNM P Management
With integrated SNMP in -band manage ment, enterpri se managers ca n 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. By downloading all configuration
parameters f rom the centra l site, no inter action is requi red at remote site s to
establish connectivity. Verilink’s WANsuite 6x30 product family
a
llows 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.
In telligent WAN A ccess A rchitecture
Verilink's
next-generation WAN access architecture
is built around a
PowerPC™ processor with 50 MIPS of processing power and 16 Mbytes of
onboard memory, and works with non-proprietary network management
solutions via SNMP. An embedded Web server supplies a simple-to-use
interface for c onfigurati on and statisti cs collection , with a service ta ble for
mapping services to ports and a user table for monitoring and controlling
traffic.

The WANsuite 6x30 product family supports the major SNMP Management
Information Bases (MIBs) that make configuration standard and easy to
manage. The MIBs may be accessed in a variety of ways. One is to use a
standard MIB browser of your choice (such as HP OpenView). A second is
through the intelligent Web Server interface that resides in your WANsuite
unit's internal memory. The Web Server interface and how it’s used to
configure your WANsuite unit are described in detail below.
In cases where all WANsuite 6x30’s unit Web Server configuration screens
are the same, only the 6130 screens are displayed. However, where the
configuration screens of the units differ, as in the case of the Network
Interface screens and their submenus, each unit’s configuration screens are
displayed. Even when all screens resemble each other, parameter values and/
or defaults may vary from unit to unit; these differences are noted.
Accessing the Web Server Interface
You can acce ss the Web Server in terface by connect ing to its IP addres s. This
connection can be directly through the 10/100 Ethernet port, PPP over the
Supervisory port, or in-band via RFC 1483 encapsulated IP traffic on the
ATM circuit.
NOTICE:
To view th e Web Ser ver inte rface, use
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5.0 or
higher
.
Any changes to the unit’s configuration MUST be followed by a
“Submit” (if there is a “Submit” button on the screen) and a “Save and
Restart” for the changes to take effect.
NOTICE:
Verilink recommends
you use other Internet browsers to access the Web Server interface,
screen elements will not display as described in this manua l.

To access the Web Server interface, enter (by typing) the unit’s IP address in
the browser’ s Address (or L ocation) fie ld and press th e “Enter” key.
Another method for accessing the Web server configuration screens is to
establish a PPP connection through the unit’s Supervisory port. To use PPP
on the Supervisory port, set up a PC running Windows 9
x
/NT for Dial-up
Networking with a NULL modem driver, and establish a PPP connect ion.
Then open your Web browser and direct it towards the Port’s IP address.
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 th e Verilink uni t in service and
displays the hardware and software revision and serial numbers under which
the unit is operating.
The area beneath the upper frame is divided into two side-by-side frames. The
frame on the le ft side
, the navigation pane,
depicts a hierarchical “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 an actual displa yed page
these bra nches ar e
simply used to provide structure for navigation.
The frame on th e right side of
the screen displays the configuration screen. The screen captures throughout
this chapter show only the configuration portion of the screen, except in the
case of the Unit screen, which shows all three frames. The Unit screen
represents the top of the navigation tree.
