CHAPTER 1
Introduction
This chapter introduces and shows you how to access the EMS (Element Management
System).
1.1 Overview
The Element Management System (EMS) retrieves management information from switches
using SNMP protocol.
An EMS is composed of Network Elements (NE) that represent resources in a Network
Management System (NMS). The network elements can represent a physical piece of
equipment on the network, the components of a device on the network, or parts of the network
itself.
The following figure shows a network example.
Figure 1 EMS Network Example
1.1.1 EMS Components
The EMS consists of two components: the EMS server and the EMS remote client. You must
install the EMS server, which provides all the functions to use the EMS. You can install the
EMS remote client on other computers if you want to use EMS on them as well.
You can send SNMP messages to managed devices from an EMS remote client (RC) or
through the EMS server (S). The following figure shows a network example.
NetAtlas Workgroup User’s Guide

Figure 2 EMS Server and Remote Clients
RC S
1.1.2 SNMPc Network Manager
SNMPc is network management software produced by Castle Rock.
You must have SNMPc properly installed before you can use the EMS. Refer to the appendix
in this User’s Guide; go to the Castle Rock web site at www.castlerock.com or see your
SNMPc user's guide.
1.1.3 Device Firmware Versions Supported
The EMS supports the devices and device firmware versions as listed in the following tale.
Table 1 Device Firmware Versions Supported

2.3 Database Management
The following information is stored in the EMS database.
• Event and access logs
• EMS configuration
• Device configuration and status information
Use the Database Management screens to back up logs and EMS and SNMPc configurations
and restore selected backed up files.
2.3.1 Database Synchronization
The EMS is able to synchronize the device tree and device status information with SNMPc.
This means that when you add a device in EMS, the same change also applies in SNMPc and
the new device icon is created in both the EMS and SNMPc screens. In addition, device status
changes are reflected in both the EMS and the SNMPc screens.
EMS database is synchronized:
• when you launch the Switch Manager screen.
• when you click Map > Sync Map DB in EMS.
• automatically everyday at mid-night (this schedule is not configurable).
2.3.2 Filename Convention
The EMS follows a pre-defined naming convention for backup files. Data is backed up in plain
text format with a “txt” filename extension. The general structure of the filename is
<type>.txt (for example, AccessLog.txt).
NetAtlas Workgroup User’s Guide

2.3.3 Database Backup and Restore

restore the database information. Backup data is stored as a series of files in the specified
directory on your computer.
Click Admin > Database Management > Backup/Restore (EMS & SNMPc DB) to display

5.2 STP/RSTP
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches,
bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other (R)STP -compliant switches in your
network to ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network.
" In this user’s guide, “STP” refers to both STP and RSTP.
5.2.1 STP Terminology
The root bridge is the base of the spanning tree; it is the bridge with the lowest identifier value
(MAC address).
Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame onto a LAN through that port. It is assigned
according to the speed of the link to which a port is attached. The slower the media, the higher
the cost - see the next table.
Table 15 STP Path Costs
LINK SPEED RECOMMENDED VALUE RECOMMENDED RANGE ALLOWED RANGE
4Mbps 250 100 to 1000 1 to 65535
10Mbps 100 50 to 600 1 to 65535
16Mbps 62 40 to 400 1 to 65535
100Mbps 19 10 to 60 1 to 65535
1Gbps 4 3 to 10 1 to 65535
10Gbps 2 1 to 5 1to 65535
Chapter 5 View
On each bridge, the root port is the port through which this bridge communicates with the root.
It is the port on this switch with the lowest path cost to the root (the root path cost). If there is
no root port, then this switch has been accepted as the root bridge of the spanning tree
network.
For each LAN segment, a designated bridge is selected. This bridge has the lowest cost to the
root among the bridges connected to the LAN.
5.2.2 STP Port States
STP assigns five port states (see next table) to eliminate packet looping. A bridge port is not
allowed to go directly from blocking state to forwarding state so as to eliminate transient
loops.

CHAPTER 6
Template
This chapter describes how to configure VLAN, IGMP filtering and multicast templates.
6.1 Template Overview
A template is a pre-configured set of configuration settings. Templates allow you to configure
device VLANs, IGMP filers and multicast groups efficiently. The template can then be
uploaded to one or more devices thus removing the need to configure the corresponding
settings for each device.
6.2 VLAN Template
Refer to Section 15.1 on page 157 for more background information on VLAN.

6.3 IGMP Filtering Profile Template
With IGMP filtering, you can control which IGMP groups a subscriber on a port can join. This
allows you to control the distribution of multicast services (such as content information
distribution) based on service plans and types of subscription.
You can set the switch to filter the multicast group join reports on a per-port basis by
configuring an IGMP filtering profile and associating the profile to a port.

" You can edit a table entry in all screens that display information in tabular
format.
In any tabulated screen display, click the Edit icon in the menu bar icon to display the
Edit Table Entry screen and edit any field in a table. There is a set of variable names, value
and set button controls that operate on the fields of the selected table. There is also a set of
function control buttons on the right. For tables that have more than ten entries, the Edit Table
Entry screen supports multiple pages.

COMMAND DESCRIPTION
Variable Names The first vertical column contains the variable names; these are the names of fields
in the selected table. These names are set by SNMPc and cannot be changed.
Some tables have variable names with an asterisk to the right of the name. These
variables are used as indices into the table. All index variables must be specified to
perform a Set operation.
Variable Values The second vertical column contains the variable values in pull down list boxes. You
can change the value by typing into the pull down edit box. If the variable has
integer aliases defined in the MIB, you can select an alias by clicking on the down
arrow and selecting an item from the drop down list. You must enter the variable
value in the proper format. Use the expand button (see next section) to view the
variable type.

8.5.1 Graph Styles
Use one of the style buttons to change the graph style to one of the following:
Table 41 Edit Table Entry
STYLE DESCRIPTION
Line Each variable is displayed as a line, with time as the horizontal axis. The vertical axis
represents the size of each polled value for each poll interval.
Bar The cumulative average value for each variable is displayed as a vertical bar.
Pie All variables are displayed as relative sized portions of a pie diagram. The entire display
represents a single poll interval.
Distribution Each variable is displayed as a stacked vertical bar. Each segment of the bar represents
the amount of time that the variable value is within a certain range (as a percent). The
legend on the right side of the display shows the corresponding range for each color. The
entire display represents a single poll interval.
8.5.2 Chart Format Display Variable
Choose which variables to display in chart format by doing one of the following:
1 Click a variable cell in a table and click the bar chart icon.
2 Display the chart menu and then deselect variables (all are displayed by default).
3 Right-click a variable’s cell and select Properties.
