Master Agent and Sub Agents

The Cajun M770 ATM Device is a fully distributed switch. Each module has its own switching and CPU power supply. In order to present the device as a single and united entity, one module is automatically elected as a Master Agent while the other modules are Sub Agents. The NMA (Network Management Agent) LED is lit on the module which has been elected to be the Master Agent.

The Master Agent is the one hosting the Management LEC with all of its functionality: IP Address and switch-wide information.

All the information configured on the Master Agent is backed up by the Sub Agents. If the Master Agent is removed or reset, another module will be elected, and all previous configuration settings will be kept.

Overview of Agent Configuration

The Master Agent is responsible for managing the modules contained in the devices. The Master Agent enables handling many of the Cajun M770 ATM Manager features, such as statistical reporting, configuration information and trap reporting.

If your agent is not properly configured for your network or can not communicate with CajunView, your network will not achieve its maximum functionality. Therefore, it is essential that your agent is configured correctly.
