Enterasys Networks X-PeditionTM manual Utilizing the Command Line Interface

Utilizing the Command Line Interface

•Backwardly compatible/transparent to those not requiring RAI.

•Console display of RAI progress.

•Console interrupt of RAI process at any time.

•CLI configurable RAI loading. Persistent, 5-minute try, and none (disable).

•No rebooting required to activate configuration.

•Hostname choices are flexible to include/exclude domain and canned names as well for the configuration file.

•The configuration file is examined for the proper target node identification to minimize the chance of being locked out of remote access.

At the central site, the XSR supports the following Frame Relay IETF serial interface features:

•Operational on all physical interfaces which support Frame Relay - T1, T3, and Serial.

•Bootp server configurable on a per DLCI basis.

•DLCI limit based on standard LMI limitation. (ILMI, AUTO - 190, ANSI, Q933A - 300)

•Bootp server.

•IP helper address for forwarding to DNS and TFTP servers.

•Configurable to Inverse ARP and No Inverse ARP on a DLCI basis.

At the branch site, the RAI ADSL has the following features:

•F5 OAM end-to-end or segment cells are used to discover the link VPI and VCI numbers.

•PVC connections should be set with the VPI ranging from 0 to 128 and VCI from 32 to 128.

•RAI requires the ADSL line to be connected to the first port of the ADSL card.

•ADSL RAI works with PPPoE SNAP or MUX. The PPPoE server must be reachable from the DSLAM either by ATM or by bridging. ADSL RAI does not work with IPoA or PPPoA.

•The local IP address is obtained using PPPoE IP address negotiation.

•The serial number of the XSR is the initial username and password for CHAP/PAP PPPoE.

•The file name of the startup-configsought from the TFTP server is the serial number of the branch XSR.

At the central site, the RAI ADSL requires the following features:

•The device terminating the ADLS connection (mostly likely DSLAM), has configured and enabled PVC with F5 OAM cells.

•The PPPoE server provides a pool of IP addresses for IP configuration of the remote XSR.

•The PPPoE server authenticates the remote XSR with CHAP or PAP using the XSR’s serial number as the username (hostname) and password.

•On the interface where PPPoE is terminated, broadcasting should be allowed by helper address or some other method in order for TFTP discovery packetsto find the TFTP server.

•The name of the startup-configfiles stored on the TFTP server should match the serial number of the branch XSR.
