RADview provides a complete management solution for monitoring and controlling the RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202 system. The RADview solutions conform to 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.

• Performance management – continuously monitors network performance (QoS, CoS) and resource allocation.

• Security management – controls and restricts access to network resources.

2-2 Pre-configuring ETX-102/201/202 for Network Management RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202

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.

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.

Note

User’s Manual Chapter 2 Installation and Operation

RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202 Pre-configuring ETX-102/201/202 for Network Management 2-3

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-102/201/202 control port and log in.

To configure the ETX-102/201/202 system parameters:

1. Configure an ASCII terminal to:

One start bit

Eight data bits

No parity

One stop bit

No flow control

VT100 emulation.

2. Connect the terminal to the ETX-102/201/202 CONTROL port.

3. Press <Enter> several times (to allow ETX-102/201/202 to detect the rate).

4. Initiate the control session by entering the administrator user name and password.

Configuring the Host Parameters

ETX-102/201/202 allows entering IP parameters manually or using parameters acquired from the DHCP server.

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-102/201/202 releases the current IP address by sending the release message to the DHCP server, sets all host IP parameters to 0.0.0.0 and reboots itself automatically.

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-102/201/202 after having disabled its DHCP client.

The default gateway must be in the same subnet as the host.

Adding a Network Management Station (NMS)

In order to remotely configure ETX-102/201/202, the NMS needs to be listed in the Manager List. NMS configuration defines the IP address of a new network management station (NMS), and the enterprise-specific traps that will be sent to the new network management station.

The maximum number of network management stations is 10. If this number is exceeded, you must delete an existing station.

Each NMS is automatically assigned an index number in the range of 1 to 10.


RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202 Pre-configuring ETX-102/201/202 for Network Management 2-5

Note



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.

• 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:


2. On the menu bar, click Configuration > Protection.

3.3 Configuring Bridge Settings

RADview allows you to configure bridge settings for ETX-102/201/202 ports.

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).

untagged and priority-tagged frames.

PVID operation depends on the tag handling mode:

• None: PVID is added to the untagged and priority-tagged frames only.

• Stacking: PVID is added to all arriving frames (tagged, untagged or priority

tagged).

• Stripping: A tag is removed from the frame on this port. If it is a frame with a

double tag, then the frame wll remain with one tag. If it a frame with one tag,

then the frame will remain untagged.

1 (default)…4094

Note: When VLAN mode is Unaware, you cannot change the value of the Stacking VLAN until you first remove the corresponding flow.

Default Priority Tag Default priority tag to be added by the bridge port to the incoming untagged

frames or to the frames coming from the user ports with assigned port priority.

No default priority tags are added to the frames arriving with assigned port

priority.

0 (default)…7

Tag Handling Bridge port ingress tag handling. Relevant for NET ports. Defines if ports add port

VID only to untagged or to all arriving frames.

None, Stacking, -- (for NET ports)

Notes:

• This field exists only if the bridge VLAN mode is Unaware and enabled only for USER ports (including NET/USER when ETH 2 port is configured as a USER port).

• If Host VLAN tagging is Untagged, then Tag Handling cannot be set to Stacking. Host VLAN Tagging is configured to Untagged.

• If Host VLAN Priority is less than 6, Tag Handling cannot be set to Stacking.

• The Agent sets the same value (latest value) for all USER Bridge Ports.


You can view and configure VLAN membership for ETX-102/201/202 bridge ports set to VLAN mode Aware. The ports can also be configured to add or to strip the VLAN tag at the egress.

4.1 Configuring ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202

Management Methods

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.

• 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-202.

5. Configure ETX-102, ETX-201, ETX-202 for the desired application.

Note



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.


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.


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.


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.

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 a VLAN-Unaware (Stacking) Application (ETX-202)

This section provides an overview of an Ethernet access application, with two ETX-202 units operating opposite each other (see Figure 4-21).

Figure 4-21. VLAN-Unaware (Stacking) Application (ETX-202)

VLAN stacking application requirements:

• Receiving two user traffic feeds via separate user ports:

Port 1 – real time traffic

Port 2 – best effort data

• Service level definition (SLD):

Assigning rate limit to each data stream

Configuring per port ingress priority.

Assigning different SPVLAN (service provider VLAN) to each data stream.


4-20 Configuring a VLAN-Unaware (Stacking) Application (ETX-202) RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202


Perform the following configuration steps when deploying ETX-202 units:



3. Configure the internal bridge (bridge mode, user ports)

4. Configure QoS (priority and rate limitation).

• 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.

Chapter 6 Security Management User’s Manual

6-2 Understanding RADview User Security Levels RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202

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

User’s Manual Chapter 6 Security Management

RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202 Configuring Host Parameters 6-3

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.

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. On the menu bar, click Diagnostics > Loopback.

4. Click <Apply> to begin the loopback test on the port.

If there are no errors, the test starts running.

The test will not run if one of the following occurs:

If another loop is running on any port. A message box appears displaying: “Cannot perform test: Test is running on <port name> port”, where <port name> is port on which the test is running. Click <OK> to close the message box.

VLAN ID is out of range (valid range is 1..4094)

Selected VLAN ID is the same as the Host VLAN ID

Tag Handling is Stacking for USER Port/s and Looped Data is Specific VLAN and Loop Direction is Local

Tag Handling is Stacking for USER Port/s and Looped Data is Specific VLAN and VLAN ID is Port VID of a USER port

VLAN Mode is Aware and Looped Data is Specific VLAN and Loop Direction is Remote

Tag Handling is Stacking for USER Port/s and Looped Data is Specific VLAN'

Looped Data is Specific VLAN and Loop Direction is Local.

1…3600

Looped Data Defines which part of the data will be looped back.

All except Mng

Specific VLAN

Note: Enabled only for MAC Swap Loop.

VLAN ID Specifies VLAN ID.

1 (default)…4094

Note: Enabled only for MAC Swap Loop and if Looped Data is Specific VLAN.

Loop Direction Direction of performed loopback.

Local (towards USER)

Remotes (towards NET)


Force Source MAC

Address

MAC address that will be sent in the Source field of the packet in the outgoing

direction.



Force Destination MAC

Address

Enabled only for MAC Swap Loop. MAC address that will be sent in the

Destination field of the packet in the outgoing direction.





Running Virtual Cable Tests

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:


2. On the menu bar, click Diagnostics > Virtual Cable Test.

4. Click <Test Command> to begin the test on the port.

Note



For ETX-202, this command activates the test for all pairs, but is Set by SNMP only for Pair A. For ETX-102/201, this command activates the test for the selected Ethernet port.

5. Click <Poll Results> to poll the results (enabled when there are no test results shown in the dialog box and disabled after results are shown).

Running VLAN Tests

ETX-102/201/202 can be configured to collect and display transmitted and received packet and octets count per specified port and VLAN.

To run a VLAN test:


2. On the menu bar, click Diagnostics > VLAN Test.

Figure 7-20. VLAN Test Dialog Box




4. Click <Apply> to begin the test on the port.

If there are no errors, the test starts running.

The test will not run if one of the following occurs:

VLAN ID is out of range (valid range is 1..4094)

MAC Swap Loop is running (MAC Swap Loop test is enabled for the same port)

VLAN Test is running on another port (VLAN Test may be performed on only one port simultaneously).

Table 7-8. VLAN Test Dialog Box Parameters

VLAN Test Enables/disables VLAN test.

Enable

Disable

VLAN ID VLAN ID of the bridge port on which statics are being collected.

1…4094

Note:

• If VLAN Test is Enable upon entry to the dialog box, VLAN ID field is read only (you cannot change VLAN IDs while VLAN Test is Enable). In this case, you can only change VLAN Test to Disable (or perform Refresh to see updated counters for the same VLAN ID). Even if you set VLAN Test to Disable and then reset to VLAN Test to Enable, VLAN ID will still be read only (what counts is the state upon entry to the dialog box).

• If VLAN Test is Disable upon entry to the dialog box, VLAN ID is disabled, NMS does not Get the counters' values, and the value displayed for them is ‘--’. You can set VLAN Test to Enable. VLAN ID will change to read-write, and you can set the desired VLAN ID. VLAN ID should just be within valid range (it does not have to appear in VLAN Membership table).

• You can select VLAN ID of the Host (when Host is VLAN Tagged), though device may not include the Host traffic in the counters displayed.

Rx Octets Number of Rx octets.

For ETX-202 only: counter 64 value
