Management and Data Channels 31

ATM LMA management of ATM switch fabric modules and ATM interface modules is outside of the scope of this guide. To learn about managing the ATM Enterprise Switch and ATM modules using the ATM LMA, see the CoreBuilder 9000 ATM Enterprise Switch Management Guide.

You cannot manage the EME using the ATM LMA, and you cannot manage ATM Switch Fabric Modules or ATM interface modules using the EME Management Console.

■Web Management

The Web Management suite of applications are an embedded part of the CoreBuilder 9000 system software image. They include the WebConsole and DeviceView applications. Additional installable applications include online Help. After you have set up your IP address for your system, you can access the Web Management applications directly from your Web browser by entering its IP address.

See the Web Management User Guide for the CoreBuilder 9000

Enterprise Switch for additional information about Web Management.

You manage the EME from a command line interface using EME management commands. You manage the switch fabric modules or interface modules through the Administration Console using module management commands or through the Web Management interface.

Management and The CoreBuilder 9000 system uses separate channels for network traffic Data Channels and management traffic:

■The private management LAN (MLAN) handles management traffic. Management traffic travels to and from the EME, which acts as the single point of contact for all management traffic in the chassis.

■Switch fabric module backplane channels handle network traffic. Each interface module has one or two backplane ports that connect to the switch fabric module backplane, which allows network traffic to pass through the CoreBuilder 9000 system.

Figure 1 illustrates the MLAN channel and the switch fabric module backplane channels in the CoreBuilder 9000 16-slot chassis.
