T THE

WA N

SUITE

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

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

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

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.

ERVER INTERFAC

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

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

/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.

Timing

Sets the timing source to synchronize the unit’s internal timing generators. In

all cases, slips are controlled to occur on frame boundaries at the Network

port when timing synchronization is lost.

Definitions of the timing sources are as follows:

Internal

– The unit’s internal frequency standard (T1 1.544 Mbps ± 50 bps)

is used for all timing.

Network

– Timing is derived fr om the Network port recovered clock.

PRM Enable

Lets you establish which performance messaging standard will be employed

to initiate Per formance Re port Message (P RM) function s. Setting thi s field to

“Enable” instructs the unit to use ANSI T1.403, which sends a PRM once

every second . Setting this field to “Disab le” instruc ts the unit to use AT&T

TR54016, which provides performance reporting on request only.

Values:

Disable, Enable

Default:

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 and alarm threshold information.

Acceptable alarm thresholds are set for periods of 15 minutes (900 seconds)

and sampled every second. The error types listed in the paragraphs below 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” (zero).

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

WANsuite 6x30

3-7

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 of the status table are as follows:

The table prov ides error st atus and alarm threshold in formation fo r the

following e rror para meters:

Sets the Errored Seconds threshold. An ES is a 1-second period in which at

least one logic error occurred. The default value is 45 seconds.

When QOS profile “0” is used, the available bandwidth will be equally shared

among all configured channels. QOS “0” cannot be modified.

If one virtual channel requires more bandwidth than others, configure another

QOS profile and set its peak cell rate (PCR) to the required value. However,

the sum of the PCRs of all configured channels must be no greater than the

available bandwidth. The available PCR on a T1-ATM link is about 3600

cells per second, but is about 4550 cells per second on an E1-ATM link.

Encapsulation Type

Encapsulation Type used. Default is Routed IP, which uses RFC 1483 LLC

encapsulation. If Serial PPP is selected, PPP traffic received from the Serial

port will be sent over the ATM port using RFC 1483 PPPoA encapsulation.

There can be only one VCI configured for Serial PPP.

Serial HDLC is similar to Serial PPP except, when you select Serial HDLC,

data is encapsulated transparently. Any type of HDLC traffic will be

supported. Because this is not a standard encapsulation, a WANsuite unit

must reside at each end of the connection. Even if Serial HDLC or Serial PPP

encapsulation is configured, routed IP traffic received on this channel will be

forwarded to the IP Gatewa y, if IP Gateway is configure d.

IP Gateway Screen

The IP Gateway is a feature that allows routing of IP packets from one

network to another using

static route s

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.

first (SPF) or link-state protocol. OSPF is an interior gateway protocol that

distributes routing information between routers in a single autonomous

system. This Protocol is suitable for complex networks with a large number of

routers. If a large network is involved, OSPF may be the solution for the user.

Virtual Link Table Screen

To permit maximum flexibility, OSPF allows the configuration of

links

to enable the backbone area to appear contiguous despite the physical reality.

In OSPF, the backbone is defined as an A rea ID of 0.0.0.0. This backbone

cannot be disconnected in any way or some areas of the Autonomous System

become unreachable. This is because all inter-area traffic must go through the

backbone. In fact, the backbone is responsible of all inter-area routing

information distribution.

It is possible that an area cannot be connected directly to the backbone; in this

case a virtual link is used (see Figure 3.52). To establish or maintain the

connectivity of the backbone, virtual links can be configured through non-

backbone areas. Basically, virtual links are used to connect components that

are otherwise not connected to the backbone.

A virtual link is treated by OSPF as a point-to-point unnumbered network

joining two area border routers. The virtual link must be configured in both of

the area border routers.

A virtual link is defined by the following two parameters:

Network Address Translation (NAT)

NAT is a method of connecting multiple computers to the Internet (or any

other IP network) using one IP address. This lets users cost-effectively and

efficiently connect their networks to the Internet.

Whether on a global or local port, NAT provides translation only upon receipt

of a packet, which NAT will translate, not translate, or filter, depending on

the user-s pecified p arameter s (further describe d below) . If the d ecision is

made to “translate,” the packet will be modified internally, and eventually

sent on to the IP Gateway to be processed. If the decision is made not to

“translate,” the packet will not be modified in any way. If the decision is

made to “filter,” the packet will be discarded without any further action

required.

hosts on the Local (private) side as a single internet host (one IP address). In

Basic NAT mode, the Global IP address is assigned as a Class C host address

(Mask of 255.255.255.0). Each private IP address on the Local side is mapped

to a Class C public address on the Global side. In other words, if there are 30

hosts on the private (Local) side, 30 public (Global) addresses are required.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

DHCP provides a mechanism through which computers using TCP/IP can

obtain protocol configuration parameters automatically through the network.

The most important conf iguration parameter associated with DHCP is the IP

address. A co mputer must in itially be as signed a speci fic IP address th at is

appropriate to the network to which the computer is attached, and that is not

assigned to any other co mputer on tha t network. If a computer moves to a

new network, it must be assigned a new IP address for that new network.

DHCP can be used to manage these assignments automatically.

DHCP has other important configuration parameters also, such as the subnet

mask, default router, and Domain Name System (DNS) server. Using DHCP,

a network administrator can avoid “hands-on” configuration of individual

computers through complex and confusing setup applications. Instead, those

computers can obtain all required configuration parameters automatically,

without manual intervention, from a centrally managed DHCP server. DHCP

is available on the 10/100 Ethernet port only.

Introduction

Screen Components

HAPTER

This chapter describes the menus and options associated with the WANsuite 6x30’s VT100 interface. In cases where all 6x30 VT100 configuration screens are the same, only the 6130 screens showing various configurations are displayed. However, where the configuration screens of the units differ, as in 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.

You can access the VT100 interface locally via the Supervisory port or remotely through a TELN ET 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. All screens in this chapter were captured during a TELNET session.

The VT100 terminal screens have components common to all screens (see Figure 4.1 below). These components include the device type (in the example below, Verilink WANsuite 6130), 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.

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 do not have these standard keys or have only some of

them, an alt ernativ e set o f curso r cont rol com mands is prov ided. P erfor m each

command by pressing a letter key while holding down the “Ctrl” ke y. You

may use the alternat ive commands and keyboard commands listed below

interchangeably at your discretion.

You can navigate further within a menu as described below.

Field Types

Each menu screen is composed of fields. The two basi c field types are user-

selectable (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 cha nging th e paramet ers. In som e cases, you will pres s the “Ent er”

key to save new parameters.

Fields enclosed in brackets [ ] offer a li st of selections from which to choose.

The selections may be made by pressing your Spacebar to “toggle” between

choices. Each time the Spacebar is pressed, a new item appears. When the

item you wish to choose is displayed, press the “Esc” key to save it.

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

in the form of letters and/or numbers. Typing characters when the field is
