Chapter 3 Building the Network

3.5.1 Prerequisites for Adding NEs

•Create a username and password with appropriate privileges.

•After configuring the NE, add a seed NE to CTM. CTM automatically discovers the interconnected CRS-1 or XR 12000 NEs.

Note The CRS-1 and XR 12000 discovery does not put the NE in service automatically. The discovery process adds the discovered NEs to CTM; however, you must mark the NEs as In Service.

•Enable CDP on the NE for network discovery.

•If you are not using the username and password specified in the Control Panel > Security Properties > CRS-1 or XR 12000 tab, configure the username and password in the Domain Explorer > Network Element Properties > NE Authentication tab.

Note All CRS-1 and XR 12000 NEs must be added in Domain Name System (DNS) or in the hosts file; otherwise, CTM cannot connect to the NEs. CTM uses DNS to look up the name of the NE and then connects to the NE through its name.

3.5.1.7 Prerequisites for Adding Cisco Catalyst 6509 NEs

Before adding a Cisco Catalyst 6509, configure the NE with a valid community string. Then, add the NE to CTM. Network discovery is not supported for the Cisco Catalyst 6509. The Catalyst 6509 is supported only in terms of managing the Cisco CRS-1.

3.5.1.8 Prerequisites for Adding Cisco MGX Voice Gateway Devices

Before adding a Cisco MGX NE, you must enable the NE service. You must also meet certain other specific prerequisites depending on the type of Cisco MGX NE you are adding. The following aspects must be configured before adding Cisco MGX NEs:

•Hostnames and IP addresses

•SNMP community strings

•Topology setup

•Performance monitoring (optional)

3.5.1.8.1How Do I Configure the SNMP Community String?

CTM configures the community strings for SNMP management and supports various multiservice switching devices.

Caution The community strings on the devices and the community strings used by CTM do not sync up automatically (except at the initial stage when the community strings on the devices are at default).You have to explicitly change them on both sides (using the Network Element Property pane in the Domain Explorer on CTM and the command line interface (CLI) on the switch). See 3.5.1.8.3 Changing Community Strings Using the Domain Explorer and 3.5.1.8.4 Changing Community Strings Using the CLI. If this is not done, all SNMP requests fail, and the CTM database is inconsistent with the network.
