Introduction
What Is in This Chapter
This chapter describes the SPECTRUM Management Module for the AT & T StarLAN10 SmartHUB (herein referred to as the SmartHUB). It also provides SPECTRUM’s Model Type Name assigned to the SmartHUB. The modeltype name refers to the template used to specify device attributes, actions, and associations for the device models in SPECTRUM.
AT & T StarLAN10 SmartHUB Management Module
The SmartHUB Management Module provides all the information necessary to manage the SmartHUB using SPECTRUM. The SmartHUB Management Module includes a software emulation of the actual device attributes and functionality.
The SmartHUB is a single-slot, intelligent 10BASE-T Ethernet standards-based wiring hub which supports unshielded twisted pair (UTP), shielded twisted pair (STP) and fiber-optic cabling. The hub provides advanced network control and enhanced network security through the use of eavesdropping prevention and intrusion detection. Unauthorized protocol analyzers cannot eavesdrop; only assigned users access the network. The SmartHUB is designed to operate in a building or campus structured cabling environment.
The SPECTRUM SmartHUB Management Module manages SmartHUB devices using the SNMP network management agent and the Management Information Bases (MIBs), included with the management module.
SmartHUB Model Types
Introduction AT&T StarLAN10SmartHUB1-2 Management Module Guide
SmartHUB Model Types
The SmartHUB Management Module supports one SPECTRUM device model type: the Hub_ATT_SMART. The model type name for the hub appears on the text label at the bottom of the SmartHUB icon located in any SPECTRUM view. The SmartHUB management module also supports three major application model types, described below.
SPECTRUM management of a SmartHUB is based on common and device-specific applications. Two common applications (listed below with the associated SmartHUB firmware versions) are discussed in the
MIB II Applications Reference
.
A third single device-specific application, the ATT Chassis Application (ATT_App), is discussed in Chapter 5.
CommonApplication

The fields in the Port Frame Size table are described below.
PortThe index number of the port.
Frames RcvThe total number of frames of legal length received on this port that have not been corrupted in transmission. This number includes both frames received OK and those with an “Out of range length” field. It does not include frames received with Frame Too Long or Alignment errors or frames lost due to internal MAC sublayer errors, runts or short events.
These frames can be encoded and decoded by commonly available MACs and provide a measure of the network bandwidth. The approximate rollover time for this counter is 81 hours.
Frames TxThe number of authorized frames transmitted out of the port is displayed. Additional information on authorized frames is listed below:
• The port authorized type is SingleAddress and the destination address equals the port authorized MAC address. (See the Address Tracking View.)
• The port authorized type is Multiple or Hub.
If the port type is None, no frames are counted. The approximate rollover time for this counter is 73 hours.
Octets RcvA total number of octets received on the port. Both data and padding octets in the frames received successfully are counted. The approximate rollover time for this counter is 58 minutes.
Octets TxThe number of octets transmitted from the hub on this port is displayed. Both data and padding octets are counted. The approximate rollover time for this counter is 58 minutes.
Error EnergyThe total length (in bytes) of all error energy is displayed. This value is used to calculate network utilization. Double-clicking on any entry displays the Port Performance View for the selected port. This view contains four graphs displaying the Frames Rcv, Frames Tx, Octets Rcv and Octets Tx against time.

PortThe port number is displayed. Also the index to the table.
Late CollThe number of times that a late collision was detected on this port is displayed. These are collisions later than 512 times into the transmitted packet. A late collision is counted twice, both as a Collision and as a Late Collision.
Short EventsThe number of fragments received on this port is displayed. Fragments are less than 96 -n bits long (or 32-n bits for older controllers) and indicate an external noise hit; that is, a problem on the network.
FrameTooLargeThe number of frames received through this port that were greater than 1518 octets long is displayed.
Large FragThe number of fragments received by this port is displayed. Large fragments are any frames greater or equal to 96 bits, but less than 512 bits (which includes runt frame). The fragment count also includes any other length frames in which the start frame delimiter was not present.
FIFO ErrorsThe number of packets received by this port with the transmission frequency (data rate) detected to be out of spec. The exact degree of error is unspecified and vendor specific.
Port Errors
9032026 E2 Device View2-9
Accessing the Chassis Device View
CollisionsThe number of times the transmit collision state was entered, irrespective of how many ports are involved. This count is displayed in the entry for Port 1 only. Receive collisions are not counted.
Auto PartitionsThe number of times that the repeater automatically partitioned this port is displayed.
RuntsThe number of collision fragment, longer than a Short Event but shorter than a legal packet, detected on this port is displayed. Runts do not indicate a problem on the network.
Manchester ViolationsThe number of Manchester Code violations is displayed. Manchester encoding is a self-clocking signalling type. This type of encoding guarantees at least one transition in voltage for every bit sent.

Events and Alarms
What Is in This ChapterThis chapter describes the events and alarms generated by the SmartHUB. Additionally, this chapter notes if an event is mapped to an identical alarm message, and provides corresponding probable cause messages.
SmartHUB Events and AlarmsEvents and alarms originate as generic Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps sent from the physical device. These traps, or unsolicited messages, are translated as SPECTRUM events and displayed in the Event Log. For more information on specific traps generated by each device, refer to RFC 1213, which is available through the Internet system. Also refer to the applicable MIB (Management Information Base) documentation for each specific device.
Variable data within messages is enclosed in brackets {}.
For each event/alarm listed in this chapter, the following information is included:
• The event code• The event/alarm message• Any probable cause message for the mapped alarm• Any recommended actions
Table 4-1 lists events and alarms supported by the AT & T StarLAN10 SmartHUB.

Application Views
What Is in This ChapterThis chapter describes the SmartHUB Management Module Application View. The Application View allows the user to view information for the applications supported by the hub. Each application appears as an icon in the Application View.
SmartHUB ApplicationsSPECTRUM management of a SmartHUB device is based on both common and device-specific applications.
The common application depends on the device’s firmware version. SmartHUB with 9.x firmware support the MIB-1 application (SNMP1_Agent) while a SmartHUB with 10.x firmware supports the MIB-II application (SNMP2_Agent). These applications and their sub-applications are described in the MIB II Applications Reference.
The device-specific application supported by both the 9.x and 10.x firmware is the AT&T Chassis Application (ATT_ChassisApp). The views and other information associated with this application are decribed in the remainder of this chapter.
Accessing the Application View
Application Views AT&T StarLAN10SmartHUB5-2 Management Module Guide

Hub Reset Time StampThe SystemUpTime (in milliseconds) when the hub was last reset. This value is recorded whenever the hub enters the START state as defined in the 802.3 repeater standard.
Reset HubSetting this field to Reset initializes the relay, port counters, and flags in a repeater. This auto partition function resets only the MPR chip.
Reset Hub SystemSetting this field to Reset initializes all resettable management counters and also initializes the hub. All hub parameters are reset to the default parameters. The Reset Hub System default is NoReset.
Execute Self Test 1Setting this field to PerformTest initiates the non-disruptive self test function. The test does not:
• Change the state of the hub nor management information• Inject packets onto any segments• Prevent the relay of any packets.
The results are shown in the Hub Health Data field, and a hub health trap is sent with the Health State and Health Data included.
NOTE
This action does not reset the hub management counters, nor does it affect the port control parameters. However, packets can be lost and the Hub Reset Time Stamp is zeroed.
NOTE
The value of non-resettable counters can change as a result of resetting, and packets can be lost.

Port Errors
9032026 E2 Application Views5-11
Self Test Capability View
Late CollThe number of times that a late collision was detected on this port. These are collisions later than 512 times into the transmitted packet. A late collision is counted twice, both as a Collision and as a Late Collision.
Short EventsThe number of fragments received on this port. Fragments are less than 96-n bits long (or 32-n bits for non-conforming controllers) and indicate an external noise hit or problem on the network.
FrameTooLargeThe number of frames received through this port that were greater than 1518 octets long.
Large FragThe number of fragments received by this port. Large fragments are any frames greater than or equal to 96 bits, but less than 512 bits (which includes runt frames). The fragment count also includes any other length frames in which the start frame delimiter was not present.
FIFO ErrorsThe number of packets received by this port with the transmission frequency (data rate) detectably out of spec. The exact degree of error is unspecified and vendor specific.
CollisionsThe number of times the transmit collision state was entered, irrespective of how many ports are involved. This count is displayed in the entry for Port 1 only. Receive collisions are not counted.
Auto PartitionsThe number of times that the repeater automatically partitioned this port.
RuntsThe number of collision fragments that are longer than a Short Event but shorter than a legal packet. Runts do not indicate a problem on the network.
Manchester ViolationsThe number of Manchester Code violations. Manchester encoding is a self-clocking signalling type. That guarantees at least one transition in voltage for every bit sent.
Error Breakdown View
The Error Breakdown View can be viewed by double-clicking on any table entry in the Ports Error View (accessed from the Ports Performance View). The view displays two pie charts, with the same fields as the Ports Errors View but for the selected table entry only.
