It is assumed that you are familiar with basic RADview-EMS/NGN operations. For more information about basic RADview-EMS/NGN operations, refer to the RADview-EMS/NGN (PC) or (UNIX) User's Manual. This chapter contains the following topics: Overview of ETX-202A RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A Overview Overview of the RADview FCAPS Model System Level Operations. 1.1 Overview of ETX-202A ETX-202A is a network termination unit (NTU) owned and operated by the service provider and installed at the customer premises. It serves as a clear demarcation point between the user and operator networks. Two Ethernet network ports as well as up to four Ethernet subscriber ports use copper or SFP-based interfaces. The SFP-based Ethernet ports accommodate a wide range of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers, allowing service providers to seamlessly connect customers located at different distances from the device. The network ports support 1:1 or LAG link aggregation. At the physical layer, ETX-202A supports autonegotiation and fault propagation. ETX-202A delivers Ethernet E-line services (EPL and EVPL) and is MEF 9 and MEF 14 certified. ETX-202A supports powerful bandwidth profiles such as CIR/CBS and EIR/EBS for differentiated Ethernet services and includes comprehensive Ethernet OAM (Operation Administration Maintenance) capabilities together with SLA monitoring per Flow or Flow.Cos. The unit can be managed via a local terminal port, via a dedicated out-of-band Ethernet port or in each of the user or network ports. 1.2 RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A Overview This chapter explains the steps required to get the RADview-EMS/NGN ETX-202A management system for ETX-202A version 1.2 up and running.

The subsystem supports various management interfaces, RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A Network Management Options 2-1

14 Chapter 2 Installation and Operation 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-202A 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-202A using the terminal, see the ETX-202A 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-202A 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-202A for Network Management ETX-202A 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-202A via a Network Management Station (NMS), it is necessary to first configure the basic ETX-202A parameters via an ASCII terminal command line interface (CLI) session to the ETX-202A Control Port. The following steps are required: Connecting a terminal to the control port Configuring the host parameters Entering device information Configuring ETX-202A communities Configuring the host encapsulation Configuring the network managers Controlling management access Configuring control port parameters. 2-2 Pre-configuring ETX-202A for Network Management RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A

15 Chapter 2 Installation and Operation Connecting a Terminal to the Control Port In order to configure the basic IP parameters, it is necessary to connect an ASCII terminal to the ETX-202A control port and log in. To configure the ETX-202A system parameters: 1. Configure an ASCII terminal as follows: Bits per second: 115,200 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None. 2. Set the terminal emulator to ANSI VT100 emulation. 3. Connect the terminal to the ETX-202A CONTROL port. 4. Press <Enter> several times (to allow ETX-202A to detect the rate). 5. Initiate the control session by entering the Administrator user name and password. Configuring the Host Parameters ETX-202A allows entering IP parameters manually or using parameters acquired from the DHCP server. Note To configure the Host parameters: 1. Display the Host menu (Configuration > System > Host). 2. Disable the DHCP client, selecting DHCP Client and choose Disable. ETX-202A releases the current IP address by sending the release message to the DHCP server, sets all host IP parameters to and restarts. 3. Select IP Address to define the host IP address. 4. Select IP Mask to define the host IP mask. 5. Select Default Gateway to set the default gateway IP address. 6. Select Default IP to enter a default IP address. Configuring a default IP address is necessary if you want to preserve a Telnet or HTTP connection to ETX-202A after having disabled its DHCP client. The default gateway must be in the same subnet as the host. RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A Pre-configuring ETX-202A for Network Management 2-3

36 Chapter 3 Configuration Management Configuring Protection RADview allows you to view and configure link protection for the ETX-202A NET/USER ports. ETX-202A uses two network link protection modes: Link Aggregation: 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-202A 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.) Note 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. Before configuring the link protection, make sure that both network ports have identical flow parameters and are members of the same VLAN. To view and configure link protection: 1. In the ETX-202A View window, select the system. 2. On the menu bar, click Configuration > Protection. Figure 3-4. Protection Dialog Box 3.

119 Chapter 6 Security Management This chapter describes how to manage ETX-202A 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. 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-202A 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-202A Understanding RADview User Security Levels 6-1

120 Chapter 6 Security Management 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-202A Agent functions: Poll the ETX-202A Agent View the history log 6-2 Understanding RADview User Security Levels RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A

121 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-202A 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 the ETX-202A 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-202A. You can configure host ports for ETX-202A (when Bind is set as Bridge port in Unaware mode). To configure host parameters: 1. In the ETX-202A View window, select the system. Figure 6-1.

143 Chapter 7 Fault Management 7.5 Performing Diagnostic Tests Monitoring performance in the RADview-EMS/NGN ETX-202A consists of performing diagnostics or loopback tests. Diagnostic tests you can perform on ETX-202A ports include: Loopback for Layer 1 Loopback for Layer 2. 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 USER. Figure Diagnostics Menu Port Level Note Layer 1 Loopback is available only if Autonegotiation under Port Parameters is disabled. Running Flow Loopback Tests ETX-202A supports the following two loopback types: Layer-1 loopback performed at the PHY of the physical ports. When the loopback is active the data forwarded to a bridge port is looped from the Tx path to the Rx path, disrupting the traffic. This loopback cannot pass through Ethernet bridges Layer-2 loopback with MAC address swapping, when ETX-202A exchanges source and destination MAC addresses of the incoming packets. This loopback can be performed per VLAN (or flows) once it passes through Ethernet bridges and does not disrupt traffic flows, which are not being tested. Note If a loopback is already running on any port, a message indicates that the desired loopback cannot run. To run a Layer 1 loopback test: 1. In the ETX-202A View window, select the relevant Ethernet port. 2. On the menu bar, click Diagnostics > Loopback 1. The Loopback for Layer 1 dialog appears (Figure 7-12). 3. Enable or disable the loopback test and select parameters as outlined in Table Click <Apply>. RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202 Performing Diagnostic Tests 7-15
