Preface

Congratulations on your purchase of the AES-100 ADSL-Ethernet Switch.

This preface introduces you to the AES-100 and discusses the organization and conventions of this user’s guide. It also provides information on other related documentation.

About the AES-100

The AES-100 is an ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) to Ethernet switch. It allows you to multiplex traffic from up to 16 ADSL lines to an Ethernet network before it is forwarded to the Internet.

General Syntax Conventions

“Enter” means for you to type one or more characters and press the carriage return. “Select” or “Choose” means for you to select one from the predefined choices.

Getting to Know the AES-100

This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of your AES-100.

The AES-100 is an ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) to Ethernet switch. It aggregates traffic from up to 16 ADSL lines to Ethernet.

ADSL allows the coexistence of broadband data service and conventional voice service over the same telephone wire. When deployed together with ZyXEL’s ADSL modems, for instance the P642M, and WAN routers, like the P1400, the combination forms an integrated solution for providing broadband services to multiple tenant units such as apartments, hotels, offices and campus buildings.

1.1 Features

Two-Slot Chassis

The AES-100 has two slots for the ADSL to Ethernet multiplexer modules. This design provides the flexibility for you to install as few as a single module for the initial deployment and yet still has room to grow as demand increases.

8-Port ADSL to Ethernet Multiplexer Modules

Each ADSL to Ethernet multiplexer module aggregates traffic from 8 lines to an Ethernet port.

Integrated Splitters

The integrated splitters eliminate the need to use external splitters to separate voice-band and ADSL signals.

10/100 Mbps Auto-sensing Ethernet Port

This 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet port connects the AES-100 to an Ethernet network. With Ethernet as the backbone, you can create a network that provides ADSL service to hundreds of subscribers.

AES-100 User’s Guide

IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN

Your AES-100 uses the IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) which allows your device to deliver tagged/untagged packets to and from its ports. The AES-100 supports up to 255 VLANs and the maximum VLAN ID 4094.

IEEE 802.1p Priority

IEEE 802.1p Priority gives your AES-100 the ability to regenerate priority changes for ports.

Fast Mode

The AES-100’s fast mode makes use of the “tag” subset of the IEEE 802.1Q standard to identify the source port of a frame and speed traffic through a service gateway.

MAC (Media Access Control) Filtering

Use MACfilter commands to filter incoming packets based on MAC (Media Access Control) address(es) that you specify. You may enable/disable specific ports. You may specify up to five MAC addresses per port.

Secured Host

Allow up to ten remote hosts to access your AES-100 via IP addresses you specify.

System Error Logging

The system error log will record error logs locally to the AES-100 memory. These logs may be viewed again after a warm restart.

UNIX Syslog Logging

Use UNIX syslog commands to send logs to your UNIX server.

1.2 Benefits

1.2.1 MTU Application

The following diagram depicts a typical application of the AES-100 is in a large residential building, or multiple tenant unit (MTU), that leverages the existing phone line wiring to provide Internet access to all tenants.

A tenant connects a computer to the phone line in a unit using an ADSL modem. The other end of the phone line is connected to a port on the AES-100. The AES-100 aggregates the traffic from the tenants to the Ethernet port and forwards it to a router. The router then routes the traffic further to the Internet. The following diagram shows the installation environment for an MTU Application.

Figure 1-1 MTU Application

Getting to Know the AES-100 1-3

AES-100 User’s Guide

1.2.2 ISP Application

The AES-100 can also be used by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) as an IP DSLAM. The AES-100 terminates all of the ADSL ATM circuits and converts the traffic to IP packets. All IP traffic goes directly to the ISP’s internal Ethernet network, before being routed to the Internet. The following diagram is an example of the AES-100 in an ISP Application.

Figure 1-2 ISP Application

1.2.3 Compact Design for Limited Space

The AES-100 occupies only 1.5 U of standard Telco rack space. Its compactness is perfect for collocation (installation in a central office) and basement installation. Because the AES-100 has built-in POTS splitters, service providers do not have to allocate extra space for POTS splitter shelves.

1.2.4 Scalable Platform for Future Expansion

The flexible design of the AES-100 series allows service providers to start with minimum cost. As the number of users and applications increases additional AES-100s can be added to provide greater bandwidth.

System Commands

This section describes basic configuration and system-related commands.

4.1 Command Line Interface (CI)

The AES-100 uses text command lines as the user interface for software configuration. Before discussing the details of configuration, the rules of the commands are listed next.

The command keywords are in regular courier font.

1. The command keywords must be entered exactly as shown, that is, no abbreviations are allowed.

2. The required fields in a command are enclosed in angle brackets (<>), for instance,

list port <port #>

means that you must specify the port number for this command.

3. The optional fields in a command are enclosed in square brackets ([]), for instance,

config [save]

means that the field save is optional.

4. “Command” refers to a command used in the command line interface (CI command).

Using commands not documented in the user’s guide can damage the unit and possibly render it unusable.

4.2 Console Connection

For the initial configuration, you must use the console port. After the initial setup, you can telnet to the system and perform additional management tasks. Connect the RS-232 cable to the console port of the ADSL Networking Module. Connect the other end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer.

You can use any terminal emulation program (Windows’ built-in HyperTerminal for example) with the following parameters:

• VT100 terminal emulation

• 9600 bps

• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit

• No flow control

4.3 Command Structure

The system uses a two-level command structure. The commands related to one subsystem are grouped under a primary command of that subsystem, for instance, to configure the ADSL parameters, you must first enter the ADSL subsystem by entering the adsl command. When you are in a subsystem, the system reminds you by including the subsystem name in the command prompt, for example,

System Commands 4-1

AES-100 User’s Guide

192.168.1.1 adsl>

To get back to the top level prompt from a subsystem, use the home command.

The remainder of this user’s guide describes CI Commands that are helpful for configuring network

modules.

4.3.1 Help Facility

The system includes a help facility to provide you with online assistance.

• You can issue the help or ? command at any time. The system will display a list of available commands in

response.

• You can issue

192.168.1.1> help version

yields

version - show system software version

The system responds with a description of the version command.

help with a command name to get more details about it, for instance, the command

4.3.2 Saving Your Configuration

Always remember to save your configuration using the following syntax:

192.168.1.1> config save

ADSL Configuration

The ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) subsystem allows you to configure and monitor the

ADSL ports.

5.1 ADSL Standards

The AES-100 supports both the G.lite and the G.dmt standards. G.lite is intended to minimize the cost for the consumer market.

Table 5-1 Maximum Transfer Rates of the AES-100’s ADSL Ports

STANDARD MAXIMUM DOWNSTREAM MAXIMUM UPSTREAM

G.dmt 8160 Kbps 1024 Kbps

G.lite 1536 Kbps 512 Kbps

T1.413 8160 Kbps 1024 Kbps

5.2 Profiles

A profile is a table that contains a list of pre-configured ADSL settings. Each ADSL port has one (and only one) profile assigned to it at any given time. The profile defines the maximum and minimum upstream/downstream rates, the target upstream/downstream signal noise margins, and the maximum and minimum upstream/downstream acceptable noise margins of all the ADSL ports that have this profile. You can configure multiple profiles, including profiles for troubleshooting.

Profiles allow you to configure ADSL ports efficiently. You can configure all of the ADSL ports with the same profile by modifying the profile, thus removing the need to configure the ADSL ports one-by-one. You can also change an individual ADSL port by assigning it a different profile.

For example, you could set up different profiles for different kinds of accounts (say economy, standard and premium). Assign the appropriate profile an ADSL port to and it takes care of a large part of the port’s configuration. You still get to individually enable or disable each port, as well as configure its encapsulation type, multiplexing mode, VPI, VCI and operational mode. See later in this chapter for how to configure profiles.

5.3 Configured Vs. Actual Rate

You configure the maximum rate of an individual ADSL port by modifying its profile (see the set profile command) or assigning the port to a different profile (see the set port command). However, due to noise and other factors on the line, the actual rate may not reach the maximum that you specify.

Even though you can specify arbitrary numbers in the of 32 Kbps. If you enter a rate that is not a multiple of 32 Kbps, the actual rate will be the next lower multiple of 32Kbps. For instance, if you specify 60 Kbps for a port, the actual rate for that port will not exceed 32 Kbps, and if you specify 66 Kbps, the actual rate will not be over 64Kbps.

10/100M Fast Ethernet Port Commands

The Ethernet subsystem allows you to configure and monitor the 10/100M fast Ethernet port.

6.1 10/100M Auto-Sensing Ethernet

The AES-100 supports 10/100Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet. There are two factors related to the connection of two Ethernet ports: rate and duplex mode. In a 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet, the rate can be 10Mbps or 100Mbps and the duplex mode can be half duplex or full duplex. The auto-negotiation capability makes one Ethernet port able to negotiate with a peer automatically to obtain the optimal connection rate and duplex mode.

When auto-negotiation is turned on, the Ethernet port of the AES-100 negotiates with the peer Ethernet port on the Ethernet cable automatically to determine the optimal connection rate and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the AES-100 determines the connection rate by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the AES-100’s auto-negotiation is turned off, the Ethernet port uses the pre-configured rate and duplex mode settings when making a connection, thus requiring you to check the settings of the peer Ethernet port in order to connect.

6.2 Ethernet Commands

6.2.1 Set Auto Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 ethernet> set auto <ON/OFF>

where

Bridge Commands

This chapter discusses the bridge subsystem. It allows you to configure and monitor the bridging,

configure MAC filters, port-based VLANs and tagged frame functions of the AES-100.

The AES-100 supports IEEE 802.1D transparent bridging; but not the static filtering feature or spanning tree protocol. The bridge learns the source MAC addresses of sender hosts by inspecting incoming Ethernet frames and recording the learned MAC addresses with their incoming port numbers into its filtering database. Based on the database, the bridge forwards each incoming frame to its destination port.

7.1 Bridge Port Numbers

The bridge subsystem of the AES-100 defines its own numbering convention for ports.

The bridge has a total of nine ports: bridge port 1 stands for the Ethernet port, bridge port 2 stands for

ADSL port 1, bridge port 3 stands for ADSL port 2, and so on.

Be sure you have clarified the relation between bridge ports and ADSL ports.

7.2 Basic Commands

7.2.1 Config Save Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 bridge> config save

This command saves the bridge configuration into nonvolatile memory. You must use this command to save any configurations that you make, otherwise the AES-100 will return to its default settings when it is restarted.

Do not turn off your AES-100 while saving your configuration.

7.2.2 Device Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 bridge> device

This command shows information on all bridge ports.

7.2.3 Status Command

7.4 Filter Commands

7.4.1 Filter Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 bridge> filter

This command displays the filtering database.

7.4.2 A Note about IGMP Snooping

Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1sender to 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender to everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to just a group of hosts on the network. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group it is not used to carry user data. Refer to RFC 2236 for information IGMP version 2 and RFC 1112 for IGMP version 1. A Layer 2 switch can passively snoop on IGMP Query and Report packets transferred between IP Multicast Routers/Switches and IP Multicast host groups to learn the IP Multicast group members. It checks IGMP packets passing through it, picks out the group registration information, and configures multicasting accordingly. IGMP Snooping generates no additional network traffic, allowing you to significantly reduce the multicast traffic passing through your switch.

7.4.3 Mfilter Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 bridge> mfilter

This command displays the multicast filtering database. The mfilter command is what allows you to monitor the AES-100’s IGMP snooping activities.

This command shows the software number of the bridge implementation and the maximum size of the filtering database.

7.5 Port-Based VLAN Commands

The AES-100 VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) mechanism can be used to limit the broadcast domain to the members of a VLAN group only. In this way, VLAN increases network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more manageable logical broadcast domain. In traditional switched environments, all broadcast packets go to each and every individual port.

The stations on a logical network belong to one group; however, a station can belong to more than one group. Users of one group are not allowed to access the resources of other groups and a higher level of security is achieved. This isolates the subscribers from one another and prevents a subscriber from discovering the resources, for example, shared drives or printers, of another subscriber.

In the AES-100 port-based VLAN, the allowable outgoing port(s) of each incoming port must be defined. Ethernet frames are forwarded according to these rules. Therefore, if you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example, between conference rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress port (outgoing port) for both ports. An egress port is an outgoing port, that is, a port through which a data packet leaves. Port-based VLANs are specific only to the switch on which they were created.

The factory default settings for the port-based VLAN of the AES-100 are:

- Bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) allowed to all bridge ports

- Bridge port 2 (ADSL port 1) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 3 (ADSL port 2) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 4 (ADSL port 3) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 5 (ADSL port 4) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 6 (ADSL port 5) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 7 (ADSL port 6) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 8 (ADSL port 7) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

- Bridge port 9 (ADSL port 8) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only

The default VLAN settings allow each ADSL port to communicate back and forth with only the Ethernet port, and not with other ADSL ports. The following figure illustrates this.

AES-100 User’s Guide

This example sets the allowed outgoing bridge ports of port 2 (ADSL port 1) to port 1 (Ethernet port) and port 3 (ADSL port 2). The allowed outgoing bridge ports of port 3 (ADSL port 2) are set to port 1 (Ethernet port) and port 2 (ADSL port1). This way ADSL ports 2 and 3 can communicate with each other and the Ethernet port. You can see the effects of this example by using the following command:

192.168.1.1 bridge> portfilter

Port 1 (ethernet): all

Port 2 (adsl1): 1 3

Port 3 (adsl2): 1 2

The following figures illustrate the above example. Notice that ports 2 (ADSL port 1) and 3 (ADSL port 2) are able to communicate with each other, as well as with the Ethernet. All of the other ports will only be able to communicate with the Ethernet port.

The following figure illustrates the

IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN Commands

This chapter generally describes the IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN and associated CI Commands.

8.1 Introduction

The IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN allows your ADSL Networking Module to deliver tagged/untagged frames to and from its ports. The standard gives the ADSL Networking Module the ability to recognize VLAN-aware and VLANunaware devices and automatically strips tags off of frames destined for ports that would normally drop tagged frames.

The system mode of the ADSL Networking Module must be set to “Normal” (see

802.1Q Tagged VLAN.

) in order to use the

4.5.5

8.2 IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN -Tags

When a LAN bridge receives a frame from a workstation, the VLAN from whence it came must be known so the bridge may respond, if necessary, to the source of the frame. This is accomplished by tagging. There are two kinds of tagging:

1. Explicit Tagging

• A VLAN identifier is added to the frame header that identifies the source VLAN.

2. Implicit Tagging

• The MAC (Media Access Control) number, the port or other information is used to identify the source of a

VLAN frame.

The IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN uses both explicit and implicit tagging.

8.3 VLAN-Aware/VLAN-Unaware Devices

It is important for the LAN bridge to determine what devices are VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware so that it can decide whether to forward a tagged frame (to a VLAN-aware device) or first strip the tag from a frame and then forward it (to a VLAN-unaware device).

8.4 Filtering Databases

A filtering database stores and organizes VLAN registration information useful for routing frames to and from a LAN bridge. A filtering database consists of a static entries (Static VLAN or SVLAN table) and dynamic entries (Dynamic VLAN or DVLAN table).

8.4.1 Static Entries (SVLAN Table)

Static entry registration information is added, modified and removed by management only.

IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN Commands 8-1

AES-100 User’s Guide

8.4.2 Dynamic Entries (DVLAN Table)

Dynamic entries are learned by the bridge and cannot be created or updated by management. The bridge learns this information by observing what port, source address and VLAN ID (or VID) is associated with a frame. Entries are added and deleted using GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP), where GARP is the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.

8.5 IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN Commands

Bridge port 1 stands for the Ethernet port, bridge port 2 stands for ADSL port 1, bridge port 3 stands for

ADSL port 2, and so on.

Forwarding Process Example

The switch uses the SVLAN in making frame-forwarding decisions.

First the switch checks the MAC address in a frames header against the MAC filtering database.

Next the switch checks the VLAN ID (VID) of tagged frames or assigns temporary VIDs to untagged frames (see the PVID Command).

The switch then checks the VID in a frame’s tag against the SVLAN table.

The switch notes what the SVLAN table says (that is, the SVLAN tells the switch whether or not to forward a frame and if the forwarded frames should have tags).

Then the switch applies the port filter to finish the forwarding decision. This means that frames may be dropped even if the SVLAN says to forward them. Frames might also be dropped if they are sent to an ADSL CPE device that does not accept tagged frames.

The following figure shows the flow of the decision process used with a broadcast frame (one that is meant to go to all of the ports).

Figure 8-4 SVLAN Example

An untagged frame comes in from the LAN.

The switch checks the PVID table and assigns a temporary VID of 1.

The switch ignores port# 1 (the LAN port where the frame came in), because the switch does not send a frame to the port that it came in through.

IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN Commands 8-5

AES-100 User’s Guide

The switch sees that port #s 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9 (ADSL ports 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9) are all set to “fixed” and “untag” which means the SVLAN allows the frame to be sent to those ports without a tag.

Port # 5 is “forbidden” so the frame is not forwarded to adsl port # 4.

Port # 7 (ADSL port 6) is “normal” which means that it was entered dynamically, so the frame is permitted to be forwarded to port # 7 if port # 7 is registered in the DVLAN table.

After looking at the SVLAN, the switch sees that the port filter is set for port 1 (the LAN port) to forward frames to all of the ADSL ports, so the switch forwards everything that the SVLAN permits.

Please note that the switch also sends the frame to “CPU” (the switch itself), because the switch is a member of this VLAN. The switch can be a member of only one VLAN at a time.

IP Commands

This chapter shows you how to configure the IP (Internet Protocol) parameters. The IP host

implementation in the AES-100 allows you to manage it over the network.

More often than not, you have more than one AES-100 for a particular installation. Before you start configuring the AES-100s, make sure that you

1. Plan ahead.

2. Have a complete diagram showing the whole network.

3. Record the IP parameters assigned to the equipment in your network.

10.1 Setting the IP Address

To set the IP address, default gateway and the subnet mask of the Ethernet port of a ADSL Networking Module, use the following command sequence.

192.168.1.1> ip

192.168.1.1 ip> device delete ether

<mac address> ip> device add ether ether //bridge <new ip address>

<new ip address> ip> route delete default

<new ip address> ip> route add default 0.0.0.0 <default gateway> 00:00:00:00

<new ip address> ip> config save

where

<mac address> =

<new ip address> =

<default gateway> =

Line 1 brings you to the IP subsystem.

Line 2 clears the old parameters of the AES-100.

Line 3 allows you to add a new IP address for the AES-100. The MAC address of the AES-100 is displayed in the command prompt. The system will automatically compute the subnet mask when the system is restarted. If you want to specify a subnet manually, add the following two commands before line 4:

192.168.1.1 ip> subnet delete ether.home

192.168.1.1 ip> subnet add ether.home ether <subnet address> <subnet mask>

where <subnet mask> is the subnet mask in hexadecimal, for example “

Line 4 deletes the existing default route.

Line 5 adds the new default route. The default route tells the system where the gateway (next hop) is when the AES-100 sends frames to a destination that is not on the same subnet as the AES-100.

Line 6 saves the new configuration to the nonvolatile memory.

The MAC address of the ADSL Networking Module.

The IP address you want to configure into the ADSL Networking Module.

The default gateway IP address of the ADSL Networking Module.

ff:ff:ff:00

”.

IP Commands 10-1

AES-100 User’s Guide

For example, if you want the AES-100 to have 172.21.100.1 as the IP address, 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask and 172.21.100.254 for the default gateway, you may use the following command sequence:

192.168.1.1> ip

192.168.1.1 ip> device delete ether

192.168.1.1 ip> device add ether ether //bridge 172.21.100.1

192.168.1.1 ip> subnet delete ether.home

192.168.1.1 ip> subnet add ether.home ether 172.21.100.0 ff:ff:ff:00

192.168.1.1 ip> route delete default

192.168.1.1 ip> route add default 0.0.0.0 172.21.100.254 00:00:00:00

192.168.1.1 ip> config save

Figure 10-1 Setting IP Address and Default Gateway

The AES-100 leaves the factory with a default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, or FF.FF.FF.0 in hexadecimal notation, and the default gateway set at 192.168.1.254. Make sure that you configure the IP parameters correctly before you connect an AES-100 to the network, otherwise, you may interrupt services already running.

10.2 General IP Commands

The following is a list of general IP commands that help with the management of the IP parameters.

Remote Management

This chapter shows you how to manage the AES-100 remotely.

More often than not, you will have the AES-100 located remotely making its remote management features very useful.

11.1 Management by Telnet

After you have set up the IP parameters and connected the AES-100 to the network, you can manage it remotely with telnet. You can use any telnet client that you find convenient. The configuration procedures with telnet are exactly the same as those using the direct connection via the console port. The default password for a telnet session is “1234”. Although telnet will work while the console port is being used, only one telnet session is allowed at a time.

11.2 SNMP Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. The AES-100 supports SNMP version 2 agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor it through the network.

The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.

Figure 11-1 SNMP Management Model

An SNMP managed network consists of two main component types: agents and a manager.

Remote Management 11-1

AES-100 User’s Guide

An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the AES-100). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the station through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes operations that control and monitor the managed devices.

The managed devices contain objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include the number of frames received, node port status, etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.

SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:

♦ Get

Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.

♦ GetNext

Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.

♦ Set

Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.

♦ Trap

Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.

11.2.1 Supported MIBs

The ADSL Networking Module supports MIB II that is defined in RFC 1213 and RFC 1215 as well as transparent bridge MIBs defined in RFC 1493. The ADSL Networking Module can also respond with specific data from the ZyXEL private MIB (ZYXEL-MIB).

11.3 SNMP Access Configuration

To control access to the agent in the ADSL Networking Module, use the access commands in the SNMP subsystem. Note that “community” is SNMP’s terminology for password. After configuring the SNMP access parameters, save the configuration to the nonvolatile memory with the community string is “1234”, and the default read community string is “public”.

config save

11.3.1 SNMP Access Read/Write Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 snmp> access <read | write> <community> [<IP addr>]

where

command. The default write

<read | write> = Specifies read-only/read-write permission.

<community> = Password needed to access the SNMP agent on

the ADSL Networking Module.

[<IP addr>] = Optional IP address of the allowed SNMP

manager.

11-2 Remote Management

AES-100 User’s Guide

This command allows read-only or read-write access. If the IP address is specified, access is allowed for the manager station with that address only.

11.3.2 SNMP Access Delete Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 snmp> access delete <community> [<IP addr>]

This command revokes SNMP access by the specified community (password). If the IP address is specified, access is denied for that manager station only.

11.3.3 SNMP Access Flush Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 snmp> access flush

This command revokes access by any and all manager stations.

11.3.4 SNMP Access List Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 snmp> access list

This command shows the allowed access.

11.4 SNMP Trap Configuration

The ADSL Networking Module uses the SNMP trapping facility to proactively report unusual events to one or more trap servers. To configure the trap parameters, use the configuring the SNMP trap parameters, save the configuration to the nonvolatile memory with the command.

11.4.1 Supported Traps

ADSL Networking Module supports the following traps

♦ coldStart Trap (defined in RFC 1215) :

This trap is sent at system start-up.

♦ authenticationFailure Trap (defined in RFC 1215) :

This trap is sent if a request arrives with an invalid community string.

♦ linkUp Trap (defined in RFC 1215) :

trap commands in the SNMP subsystem. After

config save

This trap is sent when an ADSL port is up.

♦ linkDown Trap (defined in RFC 1215) :

This trap is sent when an ADSL port is down.

♦ overheat Trap (defined in ZYXEL-MIB) :

This trap is sent when the ADSL Networking Module is overheated.

Remote Management 11-3

AES-100 User’s Guide

♦ overheatOver Trap (defined in ZYXEL-MIB) :

This trap is sent periodically when the ADSL Networking Module is no longer overheated.

11.4.2 Trap Add Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 snmp> trap add <community> <IP addr> [<port>]

where

<community> =

<IP addr> =

[<Port>] =

This command adds a trap server.

The password used by the ADSL Networking Module to authenticate itself to the trap server.

The IP address of the trap server.

The optional port parameter is for specifying the UDP port number on the server in case it is different from the default of port 162.

11.4.3 Trap Delete Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 snmp> trap delete <community> <IP addr> [<port>]

This command deletes a trap destination. The parameters are the same as the trap add command.

11.4.4 Trap Flush Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 snmp> trap flush

This command deletes all trap destinations.

11.4.5 Trap List Command

Syntax:

Configuration Backup/Restore

This chapter describes the process for backing up your user settings (configuration) from the ADSL

Networking Module onto your computer and how to restore them to the ADSL Networking Module.

The ADSL Networking Module uses FTP for configuration backup/restore through its built-in FTP server. You can use any FTP client (for example, ftp.exe in Windows) to backup/restore the ADSL Networking Module’s configuration.

12.1 Configuration Files of the ADSL Networking Module

The ADSL Networking Module uses configuration files to store the user’s settings, so they can be applied the next time the ADSL Networking Module is booted. The ADSL Networking Module has the following two configuration files:

init = The system configuration file for the ADSL Networking Module.

password = The configuration file for the console, Telnet and FTP password.

12.2 Configuration Backup

Firmware Upload and Recovery

ZyXEL periodically releases new firmware for the ADSL Networking Module for bug fixes and

enhancements. Please check the web site at www.zyxel.com every now and then for the latest firmware

release.

The ADSL Networking Module uses FTP to upload firmware and no longer supports TFTP uploads. If the firmware in non-volatile memory is damaged, the ADSL Networking Module uses BOOTP/TFTP to recover the firmware. The differences between these two methods are as follows:

♦ Upload timing:

An FTP upload is done during operation (run-time), while a BOOTP/TFTP recovery is done when the ADSL Networking Module is restarted.

♦ Protocols used:

An FTP upload uses FTP protocol, while a BOOTP/TFTP recovery uses BOOTP and TFTP protocols.

♦ Remote upload:

An FTP upload does not require the ADSL Networking Module and your computer to be on the same LAN, while a BOOTP/TFTP recovery does.

♦ Firmware files used:

An FTP upload uses a file with an “.img” extension name, while a BOOTP/TFTP recovery uses a file with a “.bin” extension name.

♦ The role of the ADSL Networking Module:

An FTP upload uses the ADSL Networking Module’s built-in FTP server and a BOOTP/TFTP recovery uses the ADSL Networking Module’s built-in BOOTP/TFTP client.

♦ The impact to the ADSL Networking Module:

An FTP upload overwrites the ADSL Networking Module’s firmware only while a BOOTP/TFTP recovery overwrites the ADSL Networking Module’s firmware and all configuration files.

13.1 FTP Firmware Upload on the ADSL Networking Module

The ADSL Networking Module uses FTP for firmware uploads through its built-in FTP server when the ADSL Networking Module is operational. To update the firmware, first download it (the file will have an “img” extension name) from the ZyXEL web site and store it on your computer. You can use any FTP client (for example, ftp.exe in Windows) to upgrade the ADSL Networking Module’s firmware. The procedure for FTP upgrade is as follows.

Do not turn off the ADSL Networking Module during the updating process, as it may corrupt the firmware

and make your ADSL Networking Module unusable.

Firmware Upload and Recovery 13-1

Connect to the ADSL Networking Module with your favorite FTP client. The command is generally: ftp <ADSL Networking Module IP address> at the computer command prompt.

Enter the user name (just press [ENTER]). For example,

User: <ENTER>

AES-100 User’s Guide

3. Enter the management password (1234 by default). For example,

4. Transfer the firmware file to the ADSL Networking Module. For example,

ftp> put 201AS0b1.img image

where

201AS0b1.img = The firmware file that you want to upload.

image = The internal firmware name in the ADSL Networking Module.

5. Quit FTP. For example,

ftp> quit

Wait for the update to finish. The ADSL Networking Module restarts automatically.

Do not turn off the AES-100 during the updating process, as it may corrupt the firmware and make your unit

unusable.

13.2 BOOTP/TFTP Firmware Recovery of the ADSL Networking Module

The ADSL Networking Module uses BOOTP/TFTP for firmware recovery through its built-in BOOTP/TFTP client when the ADSL Networking Module is restarted. To recover the firmware, first download it from the ZyXEL web site and store it on your computer. You can use any BOOTP/TFTP server (for example, BootpTftp.exe) to update the ADSL Networking Module’s firmware. The update procedure for BootpTftp.exe is as follows:

Do not turn off the AES-100 during the updating process, as it may corrupt the firmware and make your unit

unusable.

1. Connect your ADSL Networking Module’s LAN port to a computer’s LAN port directly using a crossover Ethernet cable, or connect both to an Ethernet hub/switch using straight-through cables.

2. Connect your ADSL Networking Module’s console port to a computer’s serial port with a console cable.

3. Run any terminal emulation program, for example, Windows’ built-in HyperTerminal, with the following parameters:

14.1 ADSL LED(s)

An ADSL LED is not on.

Table 14-1 Troubleshooting the ADSL LED(s)

STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION

1 Unplug the phone wire coming from the USER port of the AES-100 and connect the user’s ADSL modem

or router directly to the USER port of the AES-100 using a different telephone wire.

If the LED turns on, check for a problem with the building’s phone wire.

2 Make sure the ADSL port is enabled (refer to the section on enabling ADSL ports).

3 If the LED remains off, contact the distributor.

14.2 Data Transmission

The ADSL LED is on, but data can not be transmitted.

Table 14-2 Troubleshooting Data Transmission

STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION

1 Unplug the phone wire coming from the USER port of the AES-100 and connect the user’s ADSL modem

or router directly to the USER port of the AES-100 using a different telephone wire.

If data can be transmitted, check for a problem with the building’s phone wire.

2 Check to see that the VPI/VCI settings in the user’s ADSL modem or router match those in the AES-100

(refer to the Default Settings in the ADSL Configuration chapter of this User’s Guide). Also make sure that it is using RFC-1483 encapsulation, bridge mode and LLC- based multiplexing.

3 Make sure that the device type of the AES-100’s IP address is set to bridge (refer to the Setting IP

Address section).

4 Check the VLAN configuration of the AES-100 (refer to the Bridge Configuration chapter).

5 Ping the AES-100 from the user’s computer.

6 If you cannot ping, connect the ADSL modem or router to another AES-100 ADSL port.

If the ADSL modem or router works with a different port, then there may be a problem with the port user’s original port. Contact the distributor.

7 If using a different port does not work, try a different ADSL modem or router with the original port.

AES-100 User’s Guide

14.3 ADSL LED(s) turn On and Off

An ADSL LED turns on and off intermittently.

Table 14-3 Troubleshooting a Non-Constant ADSL LED

STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION

1 Unplug the phone wire coming from the USER port of the AES-100 and connect the user’s ADSL modem or

router directly to the USER port of the AES-100 using a different telephone wire.

If the ADSL LED stays on, check for a problem with the building’s phone wire.

Use the linerate command to check the user’s regular telephone wire (refer to the ADSL Configuration chapter).

If the ADSL LED still turns on and off repeatedly, contact the distributor.

14.4 Data Rate

The SYNC-rate is not the same as the configured rate.

Table 14-4 Troubleshooting the SYNC-rate

STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION

1 Unplug the phone wire coming from the USER port of the AES-100 and connect the user’s ADSL modem or

router directly to the USER port of the AES-100 using a different telephone wire.

If the rates match, the regular phone wire quality may be limiting the speed to a certain rate (see the Configured Vs. Actual Speed section).

Use the linerate command to check the user’s regular telephone wire (refer to the ADSL Configuration chapter).

If they do not match when a good wire is used, contact the distributor.

14.5 Configured Settings

The AES-100’s configured settings do not take effect at restart.

Table 14-5 Troubleshooting the AES-100’s Configured Settings

CORRECTIVE ACTION

After you finish configuring the settings, remember to use the config save command to save your settings to the AES-100.

If this does not work, contact the distributor.

14-2 Troubleshooting

AES-100 User’s Guide

14.6 Password

I forgot the password to my AES-100.

Table 14-6 Troubleshooting the Password

OPTIONS CORRECTIVE ACTION

1 Send a screen shot of your AES-100’s MAC address to your local distributor.

2 Refer to the BOOTP/TFTP Firmware Update section to update your firmware. All settings will return to

default value, so any configurations you have made will be lost.

14.7 Remote Server

The user’s computer behind the ADSL modem or router can not access a remote server.

Table 14-7 Troubleshooting a Remote Server

STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION

1 Refer to Data Transmission in this chapter to make sure that the user is able to transmit to the AES-100.

2 Make sure the gateway’s IP address is the same as the one configured in the user’s computer.

3 Check the VLAN configuration of the Ethernet port on the AES-100 (refer to the Bridge Configuration

chapter).

4 Check the Ethernet cable and connections between the AES-100 and the gateway.

5 Try to access another remote server.

If data can be transmitted to a different remote server, the remote server that could not be accessed may have a problem.

14.8 SNMP

The SNMP manager server can not get information from the AES-100.

Table 14-8 Troubleshooting the SNMP Server

STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION

1 Ping the SNMP server from the AES-100.

If you cannot, change the cable or IP configuration (see the IP Configuration chapter).

2 Check to see that the community (or trusted host) in the AES-100 matches the SNMP server’s

community.

If these steps fail to correct the problem, contact the distributor.

Troubleshooting 14-3

AES-100 User’s Guide

14.9 Telnet

I can not telnet into the AES-100.

Table 14-9 Troubleshooting Telnet

STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION

1 Make sure that a telnet session is not already operating. The AES-100 will only accept one telnet session at

a time.

2 Ping the AES-100 from your computer.

If you are able to ping the AES-100 but are still unable to telnet, contact the distributor.

If you cannot ping the AES-100, check the IP addresses in the AES-100 and your computer. Make sure that both IP addresses are located in the same subnet (refer to the Setting IP Address section of this User’s Guide).

3 If you are attempting to telnet from the ADSL side of the AES-100, refer to Data Transmission in this chapter

to make sure that you can transmit data to the AES-100.

4 If you are attempting to telnet from the Ethernet side of the AES-100, check the Ethernet cable.

5 Make sure that the device type of the AES-100’s IP address is set to bridge (refer to the Setting IP Address

section).

If these steps fail to correct the problem, contact the distributor.
