Chapter 2 Getting Started

Management from a network management station

You can manage the M770 ATM Switch using SNMP management running over UDP/IP over an Emulated LAN (ELAN).

•Connect the management station to the ELAN that the management LEC is connected to, or make sure it can communicate with that ELAN.

•Set the IP address of the M770 ATM Switch management LEC, and make sure the management station is either on the same subnet or can communicate with that subnet. If the management station and management LEC are on different subnets, set the default gateway on the M770 ATM Switch so it can communicate with the management station.

•Make sure you know the SNMP community name (for both read and write access).

•Operate the Avaya M770 ATM Switch Manager on your management station as part of the CajunView package. The Avaya M770 ATM Switch Manager enables you to view the device, check the status indicators from the management station, and perform a range of management tasks. For more information about Avaya M770 ATM Switch Manager, refer to the Avaya M770 ATM Switch Manager User Guide.
