16 Proteon Router Management Module Chapter 1 Introduction What Is in This Chapter This chapter describes the SPECTRUM Management Module for the Proteon Router (Models DNX300, CNX500, and CNX600). It also provides the model type names assigned to the models in SPECTRUM. The model type name refers to the template used to specify attributes, actions, and associations for device models in SPECTRUM. Proteon Router Management Module NOTE If you are running a previous version of SPECTRUM, the following user interface aspects may differ from those in SPECTRUM version 4.0: Order and names of menu selections Navigational features (mouse button functionality) For information about menu selections and navigating within previous versions of SPECTRUM, refer to the SPECTRUM System UserÕs Guide. For information about menu selections and navigating within SPECTRUM version 4.0, refer to the SPECTRUM Views reference. The Proteon Router Management Module manages Proteon Router devices using the SNMP network management agent and the Management Information Bases (MIBs), included with the management module E5 Introduction 1-1

17 Proteon Router Model Types Proteon Router Model Types There are Þve Proteon Router model types supported by SPECTRUM. Four of these model types are described in this manual, the Þfth model type, Rtr_Proteon, is described in the for the Proteon Router. One generic model type, Router_Proteon, is provided for Proteon Router models without a known corresponding model type designation in SPECTRUM. The Proteon Router model types described in this manual are: PteonCNX500 PteonCNX600 PteonDNX300 Router_Proteon Table 1-1 provides the model type names for the Proteon Router model types described in this manual, and a brief description of the physical Proteon Router devices that these models represent. Table 1-1. Model Type Descriptions Model Type Name PteonCNX500 PteonCNX600 PteonDNX300 Router_Proteon Router Description This model type emulates the Proteon CNX500 Router. This model type emulates the Proteon CNX600 Router. This model type emulates the Proteon DNX300 Router. This model type emulates Proteon Router models CNX500, CNX600, and DNX300. NOTE The Router_Proteon model type can be used to model the Proteon DNX300, CNX500, and CNX600 Routers; however, if the actual device type is known, use the model type speciþc to that device. The Rtr_Proteon model type (sold as a separate module) is used to model the Proteon p4100 and p4200 Routers. If the Router_Proteon model type is used to model the p4100 or p4200, the icon will display the correct device type, but all of the data speciþc to that model will be lost. Introduction 1-2

46 Accessing the Application Views Proteon Ether Application Performance View In Frames Overruns Number of receive frame sequences lost because the Ethernet memory bus was not available to the Ethernet chip in time to transfer them. This will occur occasionally on back-to-back packets. Alignment The number of frames received whose length was not a multiple of 8 bits. CRC Errors The number of frames received with Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) errors. Frames Lost The number of frames lost due to insufþcient buffer space. In Dropped The number of times that the router asserted an overwrite warning because the receive buffer was full. This does not mean that a frame was lost. In FIFO Overruns The number of times the input FIFO (First In First Out) overßowed while copying a frame from the line. Out Carrier Detect Heartbeat The number of times that a heartbeat was not detected after copying a frame. Out Carrier Sense Lost The number of times that the transmit carrier sense was lost. Out Excess Colls The number of times that a frame destined for the network incurred 16 collisions and was discarded. Out FIFO Underruns The number of times the input FIFO underßowed while copying a frame from the line. Out Success Write Retries The number of frames that were successfully transmitted after one or more collisions. Out Window Colls The number of times that a frame in the process of being transmitted collided with a frame after the Þrst 51.2 microseconds of transmission E5 Application View 5-5

47 Accessing the Application Views Proteon Token Ring Application Views Proteon Token Ring Application Views The Proteon Token Ring Application views provide ring and port status information for Proteon Routers. Proteon Token Ring Performance View The Proteon Token Ring Performance view presents the following Proteon Router token ring interface group statistics. Double-clicking on a table entry brings up Detail view pie charts. Isolated Errors Hard Errors The number of times the router was transmitting or receiving beacon frames (a ring status interrupt with the Hard Error bit set). Transmit Beacon The number of times the router posted a ring status interrupt with the Transmit Beacon bit set. Lobe Wire Faults The number of times the router detected an open or short circuit on the lobe wires. Auto-Removal The number of times the router has detected an internal hardware error and removed itself from the ring due to the beaconing auto-removal process. Line The number of corrupted frames detected by a particular station port, which indicates an intermittent cable or hardware error. A line error can be caused by the following conditions: A frame was repeated or duplicated. A code violation existed between the starting delimiter (SDEL) and the ending delimiter (EDEL). A code violation existed within a token. An FCS error existed. Any of the above conditions existed and the Error Detected Indicator (EDI) was zero. Application View 5-6

48 Accessing the Application Views Proteon Token Ring Application Views Burst The number of signals not accepted by a station port on the ring which indicates a bit encoding error (the absence of transitions for Þve half-bit times between the SDEL and the EDEL). ARI/FCI The number of times the router received a frame from an upstream neighbor in which the address recognized indicator (AFI) and/or frame copied indicator (FCI) bits had not been set. Non-Isolated Errors Signal Losses The number of times the router detected a loss of signal on the ring (a ring status interrupt with the signal loss bit set). This results from a broken ring cable, faulty wiring in a concentrator, and a transmitter or receiver malfunction. Remove Station Requests The number of Remove Ring Station MAC frame requests received. MAC Frame Requests The number of remove ring station MAC frame requests received by the router. Tx/Rx Claim Tokens The number of times the adapter was transmitting or receiving Claim Token MAC frames. Claim MAC Frames The number of times the router was transmitting or receiving claim token MAC frames. Lost Frames The number of frames that were transmitted on the ring but did not return to the transmitting station. The frame was lost somewhere on the ring but there is no way to pinpoint where. This can be caused by stations entering or leaving the ring. Receive Congestions The number of frames addressed to a speciþc station that could not be accepted because the station has no available buffer space. Frame Copy Errors The number of frames addressed to a speciþc station, with the Frame Status A bits already set to 1, indicating a possible line disturbance or duplicate address on the ring E5 Application View 5-7

49 Accessing the Application Views Proteon Token Ring Application Views Token Errors The number of times an active monitor has detected an error on the ring that required the transmission of a new token. A token error can be caused by the following conditions: A token with non-zero priority and a monitor count bit set to 1 A frame and monitor count bit set to 1 No token or frame received within 10ms The starting delimiter/token sequence had a code violation Input Overßow The number of packets received that were larger than the routerõs buffer size. Output Errors The number of times that the frame transfer or strip process was in error. Transmit Congestions The number of times that a frame was transmitted, the Address Recognized Indicator (ARI) bit was set, and the Frame Copied Indicator (FCI) was cleared in the Frame Status. This indicates congestion at the receiving node. Proteon Token Ring Information View The Proteon Token Ring Information View provides a Port Information Table. Double-clicking on a table entry accesses a Proteon Token Ring Detail View. This view provides two color-coded pie charts showing a breakdown of isolating and non-isolating errors. The following information is provided in the table: Media Type The media type in use for the token ring connection. Possible connection types are shielded and unshielded twisted pair. Ring Error State The current ring status. This Þeld will read ÒGoodÓ unless there is a serious error on the ring which causes a ring status interrupt. Table 5-2 provides the possible ring error status deþnitions. Application View 5-8
