Configuration
This chapter provides information about the configuration required for the CWM workstation.
Configuring Topology Discovery
The network.conf file, located in the /usr/users/svplus/config/ directory, is used to specify the network(s) to be discovered and managed by CWM. Basically this file describes the routing protocol, the gateway address to the network, and whether in-band or out-of-band management is used.
The format of the file depends upon the type of network of which there are three as follows.
•
AutoRoute network
•
PNNI network
•
Hybrid network (one consisting of AutoRoute and PNNI nodes connected via pnni/xlmi trunks)
To view the /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf file, enter the following command:
host% more /usr/users/svplus/config/network.confConfiguring AutoRoute Topology
To configure the CWM workstation to use AutoRoute discovery. Modify the network.conf file in the /usr/users/svplus/config directory as shown in the following example.

Configuring Hybrid Topology
To configure CWM for Hybrid networks (AutoRoute and PNNI), the file has the following format.
NETWORK:Network1 (a name for CWM to identify the network)AR-GATEWAYS:sj123456 (the name or IP address of the gateway to the Auroroute section of the network)PNNI-GATEWAYS:sj123456 (the name or IP address of the gateway to the PNNI section of the network)DISCOVERY PROTOCOL:HYBRID (the discovery protocol, in this case always HYBRID)IP REACHABILITY FLAG:NWIP_OFF (specifies in-band or out-of-band management)OPTIONAL:"TIMEOUT = 7, RETRANSMIT = 6, THROTTLE = 0, ACKNOWLEDGE = 30, BLOCKSIZE = 1024" (the optional field is used to specify parameters if the desired value is different from the default value,Check that the mnemonic of the gateway node is correct. Also, for AutoRoute nodes, check the IP Reachability Flag is correct.
Configuring Standalone Nodes
In a stand alone environment, the network.conf file does not require modification. Use the Topology Configurator to provide the following information:
•
IP address (LAN IP)

The network.conf file is located in the /usr/users/svplus/config directory.
The user should modify this file to specify networks parameters for each network to be discovered and managed.This file can describe multiple networks where each network can be any one of the following types.
•
AutoRoute
•
PNNI
•
Hybrid (consisting of AutoRoute and PNNI segments)
For each network specified in the network.conf file, its entry consists of the following fields.
•
NETWORK (this must be the first field)
•
NETWORK ID
•
GATEWAYS
•
DISCOVERY PROTOCOL
•
IP REACHABILITY FLAG
•
OPTIONS
NETWORK
The NETWORK field has the following format.
NETWORK: <Network Name>
When describing a network's parameters, NETWORK must be the first parameter.
The Network name cannot have more than 10 characters and cannot contain a space.
![]()
Note
Long network names are truncated to 10 characters and invalid names are ignored.
NETWORK ID
The NETWORK ID field has the following format.
NETWORK_ID: <Network ID>
Network ID is optional. If it is specified, the Network ID must be a unique numeric value in the range in [1, 32000].
![]()
Note
After Network ID is modified, a CWM cold start is needed.
GATEWAYS
The GATEWAYS field has the following formats.
GATEWAYS: <Gateway Name(s)> (used for AutoRoute and PNNI).
AR-GATEWAYS: <Gateway Name> (used for AutoRoute segments in a Hybrid network type).
PNNI-GATEWAYS: <Gateway Name(s)> (used for PNNI segments in a Hybrid network type).
The user should enter the name(s) of any gateways that CWM is to use for network discovery.
The rules for gateways parameters depend upon the network type.
AutoRoute
Use the GATEWAYS: <Gateway Name> format and specify one (and only one) network node to be used as the AutoRoute gateway.
PNNI
Use the GATEWAYS: <Gateway Name> format and specify one or more network nodes to be used as PNNI gateways. If more than one gateway is specified for the network, the names should be separated by commas.
Hybrid
This field is used to specify which gateways should be used for the AutoRoute and PNNI segments of the network.
Use the PNNI-GATEWAYS: <Gateway Names> format to specify one or more network nodes to be used as PNNI gateways. If more than one gateway is specified for the PNNI segment, the names should be separated by commas.
Use the AR-GATEWAYS: <Gateway Names> format and specify one (and only one) network node to be used as an AutoRoute gateway.
![]()
Note
If either AR-GATEWAYS or PNNI-GATEWAYS is specified for the network, the other gateway entry (PNNI-GATEWAYS or AR-GATEWAYS as the case may be) can be omitted. However, specifying both types of gateway speeds up the discovery process and is recommended.
.DISCOVERY PROTOCOL
This field is used to specify the network type and has the following format.
DISCOVERY PROTOCOL: <Protocol Name>
The Protocol Name can be either AUTOROUTE or PNNI or HYBRID.
AUTOROUTE is used to discover Auto Route networks .
PNNI is used for ILMI or PNNI discovery of PNNI networks.
HYBRID is used to discover networks that contain both AutoRoute and PNNI segments.
IP REACHABILITY FLAG
The IP REACHABILITY FLAG field is used to specify which IP address method is to be used for managing network nodes. This field is used for AutoRoute networks and Hybrid AutoRoute segments only. It is ignored for PNNI networks or segments.The IP REACHABILITY FLAG field has the following format.
IP REACHABILITY FLAG:<Ip Flag>
IP Flag can be set to NWIP_ON or NWIP_OFF or LANIP.
NWIP_ON — All the routing nodes in the network are managed using their nw ip addresses.
NWIP_OFF — All the routing nodes in the network are managed through the Gateway. The Gateway then routes packets to the individual routing nodes on the corresponding routing trunks.
LANIP — All the nodes in the network are managed using Lan IP. The AUTOROUTE Gateway node is always managed using the LAN IP. By specifying "LANIP", all management traffic (including link0/link1, snmp and tftp) is sent to each node (routing node or feeders) using their Lan IP addresses.
If NWIP is set to ON or OFF, management messages use the managed network for delivery and are therefore considered to be in-band. A setting of LAN IP, on the other hand, uses a separate LAN (or LAN emulation) network for message delivery and is therefore considered to be out-of-band.
OPTIONAL
The OPTIONAL field is used to specify a number of options associated with the IP REACHABILITY FLAG and has the following format.
OPTIONAL: "List of Parameters for Auto Route Networks"
This field is mandatory for AutoRoute networks and AutoRoute segments in Hybrid networks. If this field is not specified, Auto Route networks and segments WILL NOT be discovered
OPTIONAL does not apply for PNNI networks and is ignored.
The OPTIONAL field has five sub-fields (options) as follows:
•
TIMEOUT
•
RETRANSMIT
•
THROTTLE
•
ACKNOWLEDGE
•
BLOCKSIZE
TIMEOUT
Link timeout value. The amount of time to wait before resending a message to an Cisco IGX 8400 and Cisco BPX 8600 when a response is not received. Default value is 7.
RETRANSMIT
Link retry count. The number of times CWM will retransmit a message before it declares the link down. Default value is 6.
THROTTLE
Download throttling timeout value. Default value is 0
ACKNOWLEDGE
ACK timeout value used during the download process. When an acknowledgment to a configuration message sent to an Cisco IGX 8400, or Cisco BPX 8600 is not received within this time period, the message is sent again. Default value is 30.
BLOCKSIZE
Block size used for an Cisco IGX 8400, or Cisco BPX 8600 configuration upload. Default value is 1024.
![]()
Note
In this release the default values must not be changed.

# sync ;sync ;rebootModifying the SNMP Community String
In Cisco IGX 8400 and Cisco BPX 8600 nodes require that you modify the SNMP Community string using the cnfsnmp command. For example:
host% cnfsnmp <getme> <setme> <trapme>
In addition, you must modify two files on the CWM workstation in directory /usr/users/svplus/config:
•
svplus.conf
•
process.conf
Modifying the svplus.conf File
As user root on the CWM workstation, use vi or some other editor to edit the /usr/users/svplus/config/svplus.conf file and set SV_COMMUNITY to getme and set SV_SETCOMMUNITY to setme.
The svplus.conf file should look like the following example:
# Community name for BPX and IPX#SV_COMMUNITY=getme
SV_SETCOMMUNITY=setme
![]()
Note
When using the vi Editor, remember to write your changes before quitting. To save your changes while using the vi editor, remember to press Esc, colon (:), then wq!.
Modifying the process.conf File
As user svplus on the CWM workstation, edit the /usr/users/svplus/config/process.conf file. The process.conf file should have a line like the following example:

Note
When using the vi Editor, remember to write your changes before quitting. To save your changes while using the vi editor, remember to press Esc, colon (:), then wq!.
Setting Up the IP Address on an Cisco MGX 8850, Release 2 Switch
Use the following prodedure to set up IP Addresses on a Cisco MGX 8850 up to Release 2.1.60.
Procedure for Releases up to and including 2.1.60
Before you can manage the switch through the PXM45 LAN port, you must first assign an IP address to the LAN port. This Ethernet LAN port is located on the PXM45 back card. For additional instructions on physically connecting a terminal or workstation to this port, refer to the MGX 8850 (PXM45 and PXM1E) Hardware Installation Guide .
To configure an IP address for the PXM45 LAN port, use the following procedure.
Step 1
Establish a CLI management session using a username with SUPER_GP privileges.
The default user name and password for this level are superuser, superuser.
Step 2
Verify that the IP address is not already configured by entering the dspipif command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> dspipif lnPci0![]()
Note
If you omit the lnPci0 option, the switch displays the configuration for all switch IP interfaces: the ATM interface (atm0), the PXM45 LAN port interface (lnPci0), and the PXM45 maintenance port interface (sl0).
In the IP Interface Configuration Table, look for an Internet address entry under the lnPci entry. If an IP address is configured, you can use that address and skip the rest of this procedure. However, if the address has not been entered or is incompatible with your network, you must configure a valid IP address as described in the next step.
Step 3
To set the IP address for the LAN port, enter the ipifconfig command using the following format:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> ipifconfig lnPci0 <IP_Addr> <netmask Mask>
Replace IP_Addr with the IP address you want this port to use. Replace Mask with the network mask used on this network.
![]()
Tip
Cisco recommends that you use the same subnet for all IP addresses defined on all MGX 8850 switches. This simplifies router configuration.
![]()
Note
There are other options for the ipifconfig command, and you can set one or more options simultaneously. Any options you do not define in a command remain unchanged. For more information on this command, refer to Cisco CWM Routing Switch Command Reference, Release 2.
After you complete this procedure, the switch is ready for management through the PXM45 Ethernet port.
Procedure for Releases 2.1.70 and later.
Use the following procedure to set up IP Addresses on a Cisco MGX 8850 up to Release 2.1.70 and later.
Step 1
Establish a CLI management session using a username with SUPER_GP privileges.
The default user name and password for this level are superuser, superuser.
Step 2
Verify that the IP address is not already configured by entering the dspndparms command. Look at the value for option 8. If no address or the wrong address is found, enter the correct address entering the cnfndparms command (option 8).
Setting Up ATM WAN Connections
An ATM connection extends switch management to all workstations that have access to the ATM network in which the switch is installed. Figure 10-1 shows the hardware required for an ATM WAN connection.
Figure 10-1 Hardware Required for an ATM WAN Connection
![]()
The workstation in Figure 10-1 uses a LAN to connect to a router that supports both LAN and ATM interfaces. An IP address is assigned to an ATM interface in each Cisco MGX 8850. To manage an MGX 8850, the workstation operator configures a network management program to communicate with the IP address assigned to the ATM interface. Network managers can use the following tools to manage the switch:
•
Command line interface (CLI) using a Telnet session
•
Cisco WAN Manager (CWM)
•
Third-party Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) manager
To support the ATM SVCs over which the IP traffic travels, both the router and switch are configured to map the respective IP addresses to ATM End Station Addresses (AESAs). When a management session is initiated, the IP workstation directs all communications to the IP address assigned to the ATM interface on the switch. The router encapsulates this IP traffic in ATM cells and forwards it over SVCs to the switch. The destination switch retrieves the IP messages from the ATM cells and forwards them to the internal IP management tools. Replies to the workstation follow the same path in reverse.
This feature provides maximum flexibility for switch management. Any workstation with a connection to a properly-configured ATM router can manage any switch in the network. Furthermore, additional routers connected to other switches can be configured to support this feature, enabling switch configuration from multiple locations throughout an ATM network.
Configuring the Switch
To support IP connectivity over the ATM interface, perform the following tasks:
•
Assign an IP address to the ATM interface.
•
Assign an AESA to the ATM interface.
•
Define an AESA for every adjacent router that supports IP communications to the ATM interface.
•
Configure ATM communications between the switch and the router.
To configure the switch to support IP connectivity to the ATM interface, use the following procedure.
Step 1
Establish a CLI management session using a username with SUPER_GP privileges.
The default user name and password for this level are superuser, superuser.
Step 2
Verify that the IP address for the ATM interface is not already configured by entering the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> dspipif atm0![]()
Note
If you omit the atm0 option, the switch displays the configuration for all switch IP interfaces: the ATM interface (atm0), the PXM45 LAN port interface (lnPci0), and the PXM45 maintenance port interface (sl0).
Step 3
In the IP Interface Configuration Table, look for an Internet address entry under the atm entry.
If an IP address is configured, you can use that address. However, if the address has not been entered or is incompatible with your network, you must configure a valid IP address as described in the next step.
Step 4
To set the switch IP address for the ATM interface, enter the ipifconfig command using the following format:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> ipifconfig atm0 <IP_Addr> <netmask Mask>
Replace IP_Addr with the IP address you want this port to use, and replace Mask with the network mask used on this network.
![]()
Tip
Cisco recommends that you use the same subnet for all IP addresses defined on all MGX 8850 switches. This simplifies router configuration.
![]()
Note
There are other options for the ipifconfig command, and you can set one or more options simultaneously. Any options you do not define in a command remain unchanged. For more information on this command, refer to MGX 8850 and MGX 8950 Command Reference, Release 2.1.
Step 5
To verify the IP address you configured, enter the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> dspipif atm0Step 6
Make a note of the IP address defined for the atm0 interface. This is the IP address switch administrators must use to manage the switch.
Step 7
Configure the switch AESA for IP connectivity by entering the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> svcifconfig atm0 local <ATM_Addr>Replace ATM_Addr with the AESA for the interface. This address must conform to the address plan for the switch.
Step 8
Define the AESA for the ATM router by entering the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> svcifconfig atm0 router <ATM_Addr>Replace ATM_Addr with the AESA for the interface. This address must conform to the address plan for the switch.
Step 9
To verify the ATM addresses you configured, enter the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a> dspsvcifStep 10
If you have not already done so, configure the PNNI controller.
As described in "Configuring the PNNI Controller," in Chapter 2, "Configuring General Switch Features" in the Cisco MGX 8850Software Configuration Guide Release 2 .
Step 11
Configure the ATM line to the ATM router as described in "Line Configuration Quickstart" in Chapter 5, "Provisioning AXSM Communication Links" in the Cisco MGX 8850 Software Configuration Guide, Release 2.
The line configuration should specify a UNI port, SCT 6, and a partition that supports at least 20 connections.
Step 12
To verify connectivity to directly attached ATM routers, enter the dsppnsysaddr command.
The ATM addresses of directly attached ATM routers should appear in the list the switch displays. To display an ATM address for a remote router, you need to establish a CLI session on the remote switch and enter the dsppnsysaddr command.
Step 13
To check the status of ports leading to directly-attached ATM routers, enter the dsppnports command.

To support IP over ATM communications on the ATM router, you need to configure the following interfaces:
•
ATM interface to switch
•
Interface to the LAN that hosts the management workstation
To configure the ATM interface to the switch, you need to performs the following tasks:
•
Create an ATM interface.
•
Assign an IP address to the ATM interface.
•
Assign an AESA to the ATM interface.
•
Configure the ATM interface to be the ATMARP server for the switch.
If the router's IP address for the ATM interface is on the same subnet as the IP address on the switch ATM interface, no additional configuration is required for the router's IP LAN interface.
To configure the IP interface to the LAN, you need to perform the following tasks:
•
If the router's IP address for the ATM interface is not on the same subnet as the IP address on the switch ATM interface, you must manually configure on IP host-route for each MGX 8850 to which the interface will connect.
•
Configure a routing protocol to broadcast the switch IP addresses to the LAN or create default routes to the switch on the management workstation.
The procedure you use to configure the ATM router will depend on the router you are using. The following example lists commands you can use on a Cisco router to support IP over ATM communications with the Cisco MGX 8850.

Configure LAN
This command configures node communication parameters, so the node can communicate with a Cisco WAN Manager terminal over an Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP protocol. The parameters all contain address information about the Ethernet TCP/IP network that connects the Cisco WAN Manager station to an IGX or BPX node. The values must conform to those of the network. The network administrator can supply the parameters.

Configure Network IP Address
The network IP address and subnet mask support statistics collection for Cisco WAN Manager. The cnfnwip command defines the IP address the system uses to pass messages between Cisco WAN Manager and the node. The Statistics Master process in Cisco WAN Manager Network collects statistics. The Statistics Manager requests and receives statistics using TFTP Get and Put messages. These TFTP messages pass between the node and the Statistics Master using IP Relay. (See the cnfstatmast description for details on setting the Statistics Master address.)
Syntax
cnfnwip <IPAddr> <IPSubnetMask>
<IPAddr>
IP address of the node: the format is nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where nnn can be 1-255
<IPSubnetMask>

Configure statistics master SV+ address
Configures an IP address for the Statistics Master process in WAN Manager. The cnfstatmast command defines the IP address for routing the messages to and from the Statistics Master in WAN Manager.
The Statistics Master process requests and receives network statistics by using TFTP Get and Put messages. These TFTP messages pass between the node and the Statistics Master over IP Relay. See the cnfnwip description for details on setting a node address.
Syntax
cnfstatmast <ip Address>
ip address
Specifies the IP address for the Statistics Master. IP addresses have 32-bits. The format of an IP address is x.x.x.x, where x is a value in the range 1-255.

Step 4
When the configuration dialog box is configured, click OK. At this point another category can be selected.
PNNI Configuration Categories
Table 10-1 shows the parameters for each of the PNNI categories.

Note
Because of the large number of columns in some categories, some tables have been extended to a second category with the second category prefixed with "More". Hence the "More Atm Port Configurations" is an extension of "ATM Port Configuration". The same also applies to the "Atm Port Load Statistics" and "PNNI Node Configuration" categories.
