4 SWITCH ADMINISTRATION

This chapter contains software and hardware procedures that you might need to perform on your SmartCell 6A000

switch. These procedures include

•Backing up and restoring switch configuration

•Upgrading switch operating software

•Creating routes and connecting switches

•Using switch logs and alarms

4.1 BACKING UP AND RESTORING SWITCH

CONFIGURATION

Once your SmartCell 6A000 ATM switch is up and running or you have made extensi ve changes to the con figuratio n,

you should back up the switch configuration. If the flash RAM gets formatted or corrupted, yo u can restore th e switch

configuration from the backup file.

Note The backup command backs up only the configuration files. It does not back up

an image of the operating software.

To perform a back up or restore, you must have TFTP server software running on an end station connected to the

switch. The backup command copies the configuration files on the switch to a directory specified by the TFTP server

software. Often, this directory is /tftpboot; however, it may be different with your TFTP server software. Backup file

names can be anything. Both the target backup directory and its file must exist and have appropriate read and write

permissions for the backup to complete successfully.

The backup command prompts you for the IP address of the TFTP server end station, the backup path, and the name

of the file within which you are saving the configuration. For example, if the IP address of the TFTP server end station

is 90.1.1.100, and you want to save the switch configuration in the file n amed co nfi g -1 u nder the directory /back_dir,

enter the following:

SmartCell ZX# backup switch

ServerIP() : 90.1.1.100

Path() : /back_dir/config-1

Create an ELAN on your switch by executing the add elan command. The following is an example: 3. Create a client for the switch on the ELAN. For example, enter 5. Physically connect your end nodes and edge devices to the switch ports. Note When you create a client, it automatically finds the LECS address using ILMI. 4. Enter the show client command to make certain that the client is operational.

Use set vccmask to change the VPI/VCI values to 3/9. Note Do not set the VCI part of the VCCMask to fewer than 5 bits. 2. Use the show vccmask command to see the new VPI/VCI combination. 3. Use the set portconfig command to reconfigure a port to use the new values for VPI and VCI. For example, to set up a PVC on port A1 using the new VPI/VCI bit ranges (3/9), enter 4. Use show portconfig to see the change to port A1. PVCs can be configured for port A1 using VPI values from 0 to 7 and VCI values from 0 to 511. 4.6 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Page 4.6.2 Call Admission Control Policy 4.6.3 Class of Service Queues Class of Service Queue Allocation Guidelines 4.6.4 EFCI, EPD, and RM Thresholds Page 5 TROUBLESHOOTING 5.1 TROUBLESHOOTING IP OVER ATM - - - - - - - - - - - 5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING LAN EMULATION - - - - - - - - - - 5.3 TROUBLESHOOTING CONGESTION 5.3.3 Port Con estion Page Page APPENDIX A FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS A.1 HARDWARE COMPONENTS A.1.1 Front Panel Fi g A.1.2 CPU Module A.1.3 Switch Modules (MSM and ESM) A.1.4 Input/Output (Port) Modules 155 Mbps STS-3c/STM-1 UTP5, 4 Ports 155 Mbps STS-3c/STM-1 SMF/MMF, 4 Ports MMF, 4 Ports 155 Mbps STS-3c/STM-1 Port Numberin A.2 FEATURES Page A.3 SPECIFICATIONS A.3.1 Technical Specifications A.3.2 Physical Specifications A.3.3 ATM Port Specifications A.3.4 Standards Specifications A.3.5 CPU Serial Port Pin-Out Descriptions Page Page APPENDIX B SMARTCELL 6A000 AND SNMP B.1 INTERNET MIB HIERARCHY B.2 ZEITNET PROPRIETARY MIB tt B.2.1 Interpretin the Object Identifier B.2.2 Proprietary MIB Functions B.3 A CLIENT FOR SNMP MANAGEMENT B.4 CONSOLE COMMANDS THAT AFFECT THE AGENT B.5 MIB EXCEPTIONS Page Page Page APPENDIX C TECHNICAL SUPPORT C.1 TELEPHONE ASSISTANCE C.2 FAX SERVICE C.3 ELECTRONIC SERVICES C.4 PLACING A SUPPORT CALL C.5 HARDWARE WARRANTY C.6 SOFTWARE WARRANTY C.7 REPAIR SERVICES APPENDIX D ACRONYMS A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Page INDEX A B C D L M O P Q T U V W
