7 Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview for managing ACE-201/622 via the RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 management solution, including an introduction to the graphical user interface. It is assumed that you are familiar with basic RADview-EMS operations. For more information about basic RADview-EMS operations, refer to the RADview-EMS/NGN (PC) or (Unix) User's Manual (system). 1.1 ACE-201/622 Overview ACE-201/622 is a device located between a private LAN and a public ATM network. The unit has one 1000BaseT Gigabit Ethernet user port, and one STM-4/OC-12 ATM-622 (622 Mbps) network port, and provides the following features: Converting frames received via the GbE port into ATM frames, and vice versa Supporting bridging over ATM Up to 512 virtual circuit connections (VCCs) Traffic shaping according to CBR, VBR, GFR, UBR and UBR+ traffic classes LAN/ATM interworking according to RFC 1483/2684 (bridged PDU) Physical layer statistics, comprehensive diagnostics, alarm generation and alarm forwarding The unit has two hot-swappable power supply modules. 1.2 RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 Overview RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 provides a complete management solution for monitoring and controlling the ACE-201/622 device. This network management solution conforms to the ITU-T Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) recommendations for SNMP management systems, known as the FCAPS model: Fault management detects and correlates fault in network devices, isolates faults, and initiates recovery actions. Configuration management tracks configuration changes and configures, installs, and distributes software and configuration files across the network. Accounting management collects accounting data and generates network usage reports. RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 Overview 1-1

68 Chapter 4 Configuring a Typical Application User's Manual 4.1 Configuration Sequence This section provides an overall procedure of how to configure the ACE-201/622 VLAN-aware bridge mode for use in a data and voice application. To configure this typical application: 1. Add the required VCLs. 2. Configure the bridge. This includes: Configure the VLAN Table for the bridge. Configure the bridge ports. Connect the VCL to the second ATM bridge port. Assign VLAN membership to the second ATM bridge port. Configure the LAN Table for the bridge. Connect the VCL to the first ATM bridge port. Assign VLAN membership to the first ATM bridge port. Activate the bridge ports. 4.2 Stage 1: Adding VCLs You can view and modify the Port VCL Table. You can add up to 32 VCLs to the table. Use the VCL Table command to add two VCLs to ACE-201/622. To add VCLs: 1. In the ACE-201/622 main window, double-click the ATM port. The ATM Port window opens, displaying the various layers of the selected port. 4-2 Stage 1: Adding VCLs RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622

Frames coming from the Ethernet port are bridged to the appropriate VCC, according to destination MAC addresses. Frames coming from the ATM network are forwarded or flooded to the Ethernet port only. Access & Switching: bridging is performed between all bridge ports, both Ethernet and ATM. VLAN Aware: allows the user to create a subgroup of bridge ports within the bridge. Each subgroup is referred to as a VLAN and is associated with a unique VID. Frames can be forwarded only between bridge ports that are members of the same VLAN, creating a total separation between different VLAN users within the same bridge. VLAN Unaware: the bridge ignores the VLANtags and learns, filters, and forwards the frames only according to their source and destination MAC addresses.

117 Chapter 6 Security Management RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 provides for secure access at the menu, dialog box, and function (add, change, delete, view) levels. 6.1 Adding Users Part of security management is creating and adding users in the system. Each user has to have a username and a password to be identified when logging in. Each user is normally assigned a set of permissions, as follows: Administrator Unlimited access to all operations including User Administration Operator Full Write mode and access to all except for User/System Administration (read only) Technician Limited access to configuration operations and read-only mode for Event Browser Monitor Read-only mode for configuration operations, and has no access to other applications. For details about how to add users, see Chapter 4, RADview Functions Security in the RADview-EMS/NGN (PC/Unix) system manual. 6.2 Changing User Names A unique username identifies the user when accessing a multi-user system. A user name is assigned to the user and can later be changed. For details on how to change a user name, see Chapter 4 in the RADview- EMS/NGN (PC/Unix) system manual. RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 Changing User Names 6-1

118 Chapter 6 Security Management User's Manual 6.3 Changing Passwords A password together with a corresponding username is necessary in order to gain access to the system. You can personalize and change your login password to easily remember it. To be able to change to a new password, you have to know the old one for verification purposes. Only letters and numbers are valid password characters. For details on how to change passwords in RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622, see Chapter 4 in the RADview-EMS/NGN (PC/Unix) system documentation. 6.4 Setting Management Access Authorization Using the EMS Security Console The EMS Admin Console hosts the EMS administration tools, which are called consoles. The EMS Security Console is a tool that enables users with security administrative rights to do the following: View and manage the EMS Security profiles in a graphical interface Create and edit security profiles Manage user accounts. Figure 6-1. EMS Admin Console EMS Security Administrator 6-2 Setting Management Access Authorization RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622

119 User's Manual Chapter 6 Security Management The main application window is split into three parts: Left upper side A tree of the security profiles Right upper side A list of users that share the selected profile Bottom A list of all of the users. The operations specific to the EMS Security Administrator are: Profile Add, edit, and remove profiles Users Add, edit, and remove users Login View the list of users who are currently logged in and log out a user Options Configure password policies, user s account policies, and user s audit policies. For a complete description, see the RADview-EMS/NGN (PC/Unix) User s Manual. Setting a Security Profile A profile is a hierarchical tree that is comprised of permissions (actions). Each action that is subject to security has a function label for a specific operation. A profile is composed of labels. Each function label has a predefined place in the profile tree structure, according to the category in which it is assigned, that is, permissions for an agent, a range, configuration, and so forth. A label can have different permission rights: Write (which includes Read) Read Not Available. Setting Permissions Figure 6-2 shows the available permissions on the right pane and the individual permissions that have been assigned to a profile on the left pane. The types of profiles are: Mandatory Administrator, Operator, Technician, and Monitor Note Mandatory profiles cannot be edited or deleted. User-defined Created from scratch or derived from an existing profile. A user is assigned only one role (profile); however, a role (profile) can be assigned to many users.
