16 Chapter 2 Installation and Operation User s Manual 2.1 Network Management Options ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 have a local management subsystem that controls the operation of all of its circuits. The subsystem supports various management interfaces, including inband and out-of-band SNMP management (for example, RADview), Telnet, and local management via an ASCII terminal or a Web browser. RADview management software is typically used to support large networks. Note Some parameters, such as the Operation Mode, CANNOT be changed from within RADview, since they are read only parameters. However, you can use the built-in management menu-driven interface of the ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 to configure the operational mode. The configuration menus are accessible from a serial connection to the device control port or using the Telnet protocol via a connection to the Ethernet LAN port. For complete information about managing ETX-102/201/202 using the terminal, see the ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 Installation and Operation Manual. Changing the Operation Mode erases some parameters, such as the Ethernet host IP, and disconnects any remote management sessions. Changing the Ethernet host IP address disconnects any remote management sessions. For RADview management, you would have to add the new managed element (host) IP address to the EMS or SNMPc map. RADview management software is used for managing large networks. RADview uses SNMP messages to manage ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202. ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 can be managed by a network management station (NMS) via of the unit Ethernet ports. The connection can be made either from a local LAN, or from a remote location, via a PSN connected to one of the ETX Ethernet ports. 2.2 Pre-configuring ETX-102/201/202 for Network Management ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 can be managed by a network management station which is located on the LAN connected to the one of the unit s Ethernet ports. To remotely administer ETX-102/201/202 via a Network Management Station (NMS), it is necessary to first configure the basic ETX-102/201/202 parameters via an ASCII terminal command line interface (CLI) session to the ETX- 102/201/202 Control Port. The following steps are required: 1. Connect a terminal to the control port. 2. Configure the host parameters. 3. Configure the management access. 4. Add a Network Management Station (NMS). 5. Configure the SNMP communities. 2-2 Pre-configuring ETX-102/201/202 for Network Management RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202

41 User s Manual Chapter 3 Configuration Management Configuring Link Protection RADview allows you to view and configure link protection for the ETX- 102/201/202 NET/USER ports. ETX-102/201/202 uses two network link protection modes: LAG (Link Aggregation Group): Both network links are combined into one virtual group, but only one link transmits data at a time. If a failure occurs on the transmitting link, ETX-102/201/202 switches to the standby link in the group. In the LAG mode, the first link to be set with an Up administrative status becomes the active link of the group and starts data transmission. (And in the LAG mode, both network links receive data, but only one of them transmits.) 1:1: Both network ports operate independently, one of them is active, the other on standby. The traffic is automatically switched to the standby port in case the active network port or its link fails. Note Note For ETX-102/201 and ETX-202 HW version < 3.0: Protection option is disabled when the ETH 2 port is configured as a USER port. For ETX-202 HW version > 3.0: Protection option is enabled since ETH 2 port is always configured as a NET port. Before configuring the link protection, make sure that both network ports have identical bridge port parameters (ingress filtering mode, port VID, and so on) and are the members of the same VLAN. To view and configure link protection: 1. In the ETX-102/201/202 View window, select the system. 2. On the menu bar, click Configuration > Protection. Figure 3-5.

The bridge operates in the VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware modes. In the VLAN-aware mode, the bridge supports up to 64 VLANs. Learning and filtering can be enabled or disabled. Static MAC addresses are stored in the MAC table. The size of the MAC table is 8192 addresses. The ETX-202 bridge can handle frames up to 4096 bytes in size. Each bridge can be assigned to a VLAN. The unit can append additional VLAN tag (provider VLAN) at the user port ingress and remove it at the network port ingress. The provider VLAN includes provider VID and priority (VLAN stacking).

93 User s Manual Chapter 4 Configuring Typical Applications Management Methods 4.1 Configuring ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 have a local management subsystem that controls the operation of all of its circuits. The subsystem supports various management interfaces, including inband and out-of-band SNMP management (for example, RADview), Telnet, and local management via an ASCII terminal or a Web browser. RADview management software is typically used to support large networks. Some parameters, such as the Operation Mode, CANNOT be changed from within RADview, since they are read only parameters. However, you can use the built-in management utility of the ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 to configure the operational mode. The management menus are accessible from a serial connection to the device control port or using the Telnet protocol via a connection to the Ethernet LAN port. For complete information about managing ETX-102/201/202 using the terminal, see the ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 Installation and Operation Manual. Note Changing the Operation Mode erases some parameters, such as the Ethernet host IP, and disconnects any remote management sessions. Changing the Ethernet host IP address disconnects any remote management sessions. For RADview management, you would have to add the new managed element (host) IP address to the EMS or SNMPc map. RADview management software is used for managing large networks. RADview uses SNMP messages to manage ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202. ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 can be managed by a network management station (NMS) via of the unit Ethernet ports. The connection can be made either from a local LAN, or from a remote location, via a PSN connected to one of the ETX Ethernet ports. ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 Configuration Summary Follow these steps in order to configure ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202: 1. If necessary, reset ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 to the factory defaults, from the terminal (Configuration > System > Factory Default). 2. If necessary, reset ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202, from the terminal (Main Menu>Utilities> Reset). 3. Configure ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 for management, from the terminal (Configuration > System > Management). 4. Connect the cables to ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX Configure ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 for the desired application. RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202 Configuring ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX

94 Chapter 4 Configuring Typical Applications User s Manual Connecting ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 to the Network Management Station ETX-102/201/202 can be managed by a network management station (NMS) via of the unit Ethernet ports. The connection can be made either from a local LAN, or from a remote location, via a PSN connected to one of the ETX Ethernet ports. Inband Management ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 can be managed via SNMP by a Network Management Station (NMS) over one of unit s Ethernet ports. To connect ETX-102/201/202 to the Network Management Station: 1. Verify that the management parameters are properly configured. 2. Connect one of the active ETX Ethernet ports to the PSN on which management traffic from an authorized NMS flows. Out-of-Band Management ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 can be managed via SNMP by a Network Management Station (NMS) on the LAN (hub or switch) connected to the one of the unit s Ethernet ports. To connect ETX-102/201/202 to the Network Management Station: 1. Connect the last user port to a port of an Ethernet switch or hub serving the network on which the appropriate NMS is attached. 2. Verify that the Bind parameter in the Host menu (Configuration > System > Host) is set to OOB. Getting Started Begin using RADview-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202 by launching the respective ETX-102/201/202 View window. Note To launch the ETX-102/201/202 View window: On the map, select and double-click the ETX-102, ETX-201, or ETX-202 icon. The respective ETX-102/201/202 View window opens. You can now perform configuration and monitoring functions in the entire ETX- 102/201/202 system. This example assumes that the ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 icon is already visible on the NMS map. For information on working with the management console and adding ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 as a managed element, see the RV-EMS/NGN System Manual. 4-4 Configuring ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202

147 Chapter 6 Security Management This chapter describes how to manage ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 security. Understanding RADview User Security Levels Monitor Technician Operator Administrator Configuring Host Parameters Configuring SNMP Configuring Management Access. 6.1 Understanding RADview User Security Levels RADview/OV, when running on a UNIX based operating system, supports the users and permissions security feature. This section presents an overview of the four user security levels: Monitor, Technician, Operator, and Administrator. The user security levels are managed by RADview-EMS/NGN via the Security > User Manager menu path. For further details, refer to the RADview-EMS/NGN NMS User s Manual. This security feature defines the following different types of users: Monitor Technician Operator Administrator The above list is written in order of increasing access rights; the Monitor has the fewest access rights and the Administrator has the most access rights. The more privileged access level has access to all of the features to which the less privileged access level has access. Each type of user has a different level of permission to access ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 application data. The permissions are per menu and per dialog box. Some users have permission for read and write (RW) access to all of the menus and dialog boxes; others have only partial access. Some users have read-only (RO) access or are prohibited access to some of the menus and dialog boxes. For example: a Technician level user has more access rights than a Monitor level user. Therefore, if a Monitor level user has write (Set) permission to the data in a specific dialog box, then a Technician level user also has write permission. RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202 Understanding RADview User Security Levels 6-1

148 Chapter 6 Security Management User s Manual The menus always look the same for all users. If a user attempts to display a dialog box or to select a menu item that he is not permitted to access, a message will be displayed stating that he has no permission to access that function. For example: clicking a Set button, or another RW function, requires read and write access. Therefore, a user with read-only access who tries to access these functions will be denied access. Only an Administrator can add or remove nodes from the Service Center map. For further details, refer to the chapter on Security in the RADview-EMS/NGN System Manual. Monitor A user at the Monitor level may monitor all types of information related to the managed device, but cannot do any action that causes any change in the device. This means that any action that writes data to the Agent, is disallowed. Examples of write (set) operations include: Set Apply Delete Change Add Remove These operations are disallowed, whether from attempted from within a dialog box or selected via a menu option. The NMS provides feedback on a disallowed operation in one of the following ways: To obtain maximum information, the Monitor can change any fields (edit, combo-box, etc.) in a dialog box, but these changes cannot be activated because the write operations are blocked. Attempting to activate a change will be rejected, and the Monitor user will be notified via an information dialog box. Some dialog boxes do not provide any additional information, but merely allow changes in the system. Since a Monitor cannot use these dialog boxes, they cannot be displayed at all at this level. A Monitor level user has write access to the following (system level) ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 Agent functions: Poll the ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 Agent View the history log 6-2 Understanding RADview User Security Levels RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202

149 User s Manual Chapter 6 Security Management Technician The Technician can perform all of the Monitor level functions (such as those that were just listed), and, in addition, is allowed write access to the following (system level) ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 function: Clear the history log The responses to disallowed actions, beyond the Technician level permissions, are handled in the same manner as for the Monitor level. Operator The Operator is granted all of the permissions needed to perform any task related to ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 management. The Operator can also perform all of the Monitor and Technician level functions. Administrator The Administrator has all of the Operator permissions and, in addition, has access to the RADview-EMS/NGN User Manager function (this function is not accessible by the Operator). The Administrator can also perform all of the Monitor, Technician, and Operator level functions. 6.2 Configuring Host Parameters RADview allows you to view and configure host parameters for ETX-102/201/202.

176 Chapter 7 Fault Management User s Manual 7.6 Performing Diagnostic Tests Monitoring performance in the RADview-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202 consists of performing diagnostics or loopback tests. Diagnostic tests you can perform on ETX-102/201/202 ports include: Loopback Virtual cable test: for Ethernet ports with a copper RJ45 port. Not supported for SFP. VLAN test. The Diagnostics menu provides access to the port level diagnostic test options. You can run loopback tests for the following types of Ethernet ports: NET NET/USER USER. Figure Diagnostics Menu Port Level Running Loopback Tests ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 support two loopback types: Regular loopback runs at the PHY of the bridge ports. When the loopback is active the data forwarded to a bridge port is looped from the Tx path to the Rx path. Loopback which supports exchanging source and destination MAC addresses of the incoming packets. You can define loopback direction (ingress or egress) and type of data to be looped back (all data except for packets with management VLAN tag or only packets with a specific VLAN tag). To run a loopback test: 1. In the ETX-102/201/202 View window, select the relevant Ethernet port. 2.

179 User s Manual Chapter 7 Fault Management Running Virtual Cable Tests Note Virtual Cable test is enabled only if the selected Ethernet port is a copper port (and not SFP). You can check the quality of the copper cables, connectors and terminations by running a Virtual Cable Test (VCT). During the test ETX-102/201/202 transmits a signal of known amplitude down each of the two pairs of an attached cable, testing the Rx and Tx pairs sequentially. The signal travels down the cable until it reflects off of a cable imperfection. By measuring magnitude of the reflection and the time it takes for the reflection to come back, ETX-102/201/202 estimates an approximate distance to the location of a cable break or short. To run a virtual cable test: 1. In the ETX-102/201/202 View window, select the relevant Ethernet port. 2. On the menu bar, click Diagnostics > Virtual Cable Test.
