1.1 Overview of ETX-202A

ETX-202A is a network termination unit (NTU) owned and operated by the service provider and installed at the customer premises. It serves as a clear demarcation point between the user and operator networks.

Two Ethernet network ports as well as up to four Ethernet subscriber ports use copper or SFP-based interfaces.

The SFP-based Ethernet ports accommodate a wide range of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers, allowing service providers to seamlessly connect customers located at different distances from the device.

The network ports support 1:1 or LAG link aggregation. At the physical layer, ETX-202A supports autonegotiation and fault propagation. ETX-202A delivers Ethernet E-line services (EPL and EVPL) and is MEF 9 and MEF 14 certified.

ETX-202A supports powerful bandwidth profiles such as CIR/CBS and EIR/EBS for differentiated Ethernet services and includes comprehensive Ethernet OAM (Operation Administration Maintenance) capabilities together with SLA monitoring per Flow or Flow.Cos. The unit can be managed via a local terminal port, via a dedicated out-of-band Ethernet port or in each of the user or network ports.

Overview of the RADview FCAPS Model

RADview provides a complete management solution for monitoring and controlling the RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A system. The RADview solutions conform to ITU-T Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) recommendations for SNMP management systems, known as the FCAPS model:

• Fault management – detects and correlates fault in network devices, isolates faults, and initiates recovery actions.

• Configuration management – tracks configuration changes, and configures, installs, and distributes software and configuration files across the network.

• Accounting management – collects accounting data and generates network usage reports.

• Performance management – continuously monitors network performance (QoS, CoS) and resource allocation.

• Security management – controls and restricts access to network resources.

2.1 Network Management Options ETX-202A units have a local management subsystem that controls the operation of all of its circuits. The subsystem supports various management interfaces,

Chapter 2 Installation and Operation User’s Manual

2-2 Pre-configuring ETX-202A for Network Management RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A

including inband and out-of-band SNMP management (for example, RADview), Telnet, and local management via an ASCII terminal or a Web browser. RADview management software is typically used to support large networks.

Some parameters, such as the Operation Mode, CANNOT be changed from within RADview, since they are read only parameters. However, you can use the built-in management menu-driven interface of the ETX-202A to configure the operational mode. The configuration menus are accessible from a serial connection to the device control port or using the Telnet protocol via a connection to the Ethernet LAN port. For complete information about managing ETX-202A using the terminal, see the ETX-202A Installation and Operation Manual.

• Changing the Operation Mode erases some parameters, such as the Ethernet host IP, and disconnects any remote management sessions.

• Changing the Ethernet host IP address disconnects any remote management sessions. For RADview management, you would have to add the new managed element (host) IP address to the EMS or SNMPc map.

RADview management software is used for managing large networks. RADview uses SNMP messages to manage ETX-202A can be managed by a network management station (NMS) via of the unit Ethernet ports. The connection can be made either from a local LAN, or from a remote location, via a PSN connected to one of the ETX Ethernet ports.

2.2 Pre-configuring ETX-202A for Network Management

ETX-202A can be managed by a network management station which is located on the LAN connected to the one of the unit’s Ethernet ports.

To remotely administer ETX-202A via a Network Management Station (NMS), it is necessary to first configure the basic ETX-202A parameters via an ASCII terminal command line interface (CLI) session to the ETX-202A Control Port. The following steps are required:

• Connecting a terminal to the control port

• Configuring the host parameters

• Entering device information

• Configuring ETX-202A communities

• Configuring the host encapsulation

• Configuring the network managers

• Controlling management access

• Configuring control port parameters.

Note

User’s Manual Chapter 2 Installation and Operation

RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A Pre-configuring ETX-202A for Network Management 2-3

Connecting a Terminal to the Control Port

In order to configure the basic IP parameters, it is necessary to connect an ASCII terminal to the ETX-202A control port and log in.

To configure the ETX-202A system parameters:

1. Configure an ASCII terminal as follows:

Bits per second: 115,200

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None.

2. Set the terminal emulator to ANSI VT100 emulation.

3. Connect the terminal to the ETX-202A CONTROL port.

4. Press <Enter> several times (to allow ETX-202A to detect the rate).

5. Initiate the control session by entering the Administrator user name and password.

Configuring the Host Parameters

ETX-202A allows entering IP parameters manually or using parameters acquired from the DHCP server.

To configure the Host parameters:

1. Display the Host menu (Configuration > System > Host).

2. Disable the DHCP client, selecting DHCP Client and choose Disable.

ETX-202A releases the current IP address by sending the release message to the DHCP server, sets all host IP parameters to 0.0.0.0 and restarts.

3. Select IP Address to define the host IP address.

4. Select IP Mask to define the host IP mask.

5. Select Default Gateway to set the default gateway IP address.

6. Select Default IP to enter a default IP address. Configuring a default IP address is necessary if you want to preserve a Telnet or HTTP connection to ETX-202A after having disabled its DHCP client.

The default gateway must be in the same subnet as the host.

Figure 2-2. Management Access Menu (ETX-202A)

Adding a Network Management Station (NMS)

In order to remotely configure ETX-202A, the NMS needs to be listed in the Manager List. NMS configuration defines the IP address of a new network management station (NMS), and the enterprise-specific traps that will be sent to the new network management station.

The maximum number of network management stations is 10. If this number is exceeded, you must delete an existing station.

Each NMS is automatically assigned an index number in the range of 1 to 10.

When you allow sending general and alarm traps to a network manager, you can mask or unmask each trap (general or interface-specific). See the following section.

Configuring Protection

RADview allows you to view and configure link protection for the ETX-202A NET/USER ports.

ETX-202A uses two network link protection modes:

• Link Aggregation: Both network links are combined into one virtual group, but only one link transmits data at a time. If a failure occurs on the transmitting link, ETX-202A switches to the standby link in the group. In the LAG mode, the first link to be set with an “Up” administrative status becomes the active link of the group and starts data transmission. (And in the LAG mode, both network links receive data, but only one of them transmits.)

• 1:1: Both network ports operate independently, one of them is active, the other on standby. The traffic is automatically switched to the standby port in case the active network port or its link fails.

Before configuring the link protection, make sure that both network ports have identical flow parameters and are members of the same VLAN.

To view and configure link protection:


2. On the menu bar, click Configuration > Protection.

Note: The number of ports displayed depends on your unit’s configuration.

Configuring Quality of Service (QoS)

You can configure QoS classification, priority mapping, and rate limitation settings for the ETX-202A system.

ETX-202A provides three priority queues for each user port. The traffic can be classified and mapped into the priority queues according to the VLAN priority, DSCP, IP TOS or per port basis.



The ETX-202A Quality of Service (QoS) parameters include the following profiles:

• Ingress BW profiles

• CoS profiles

• Marking profiles

• Queue profiles

• Internal Queue profiles.

These profiles can be applied to the traffic flows to ensure the desired flow classification and prioritization.

Creating CoS Profiles

CoS profiles are used to convert a user priority (P-bit, ToS or DSCP) into internal priority queues (classes of service). ETX-202A has pre-defined CoS profiles.

To configure a CoS profile:


2. On the Menu bar, click Configuration > QoS > CoS Profiles.

To view current settings, click <Show Details>.

To edit the list view, click <View> and follow the workflow.

is configured to the WFQ mode, the queues with the higher priority cannot be

configured to the strict mode.

Strict – High-priority queues that are always serviced first. If a lower-priority

queue is being serviced and a packet enters a higher queue, that queue is

serviced immediately.

WFQ – Weighted Fair Queuing, if one port does not transmit, its unused

bandwidth is shared by the ‘transmitting’ queues according to the assigned

weight.

Default: WFQ

Note: In configurations with Strict and WFQ queues, the WFQ frames are transmitted only after the transmission of frames associated with the Strict queues is completed.

Weight Determines the weight of an internal queue when the scheduling weight is

configured to WFQ.

Polling the agent updates the ETX-202A device status. You can execute either manual or automatic polling of the ETX-202A system. Device components are automatically polled once every minute. However, you can also manually poll and update the status of the components.

To manually poll the agent components:


2. On the menu bar, click Configuration > Poll Agent.

The components are polled and their status is updated immediately.

You can set the polling interval by selecting the time (in seconds) that will pass between two successive statistics polls of ETX ports.

To set the polling interval:


Figure 5-1. Statistics Menu – System Level

2. On the menu bar, click Statistics > Polling Interval.

Figure 5-2. Polling Interval Dialog Box

3. Fill in the field, as described in Table 5-1.


The new polling interval is set after the dialog box is refreshed, and affects all Statistics dialog boxes of all ETX ports. When updating the polling interval while other dialog boxes are open, the new polling range

Security Management This chapter describes how to manage ETX-202A security.

• Understanding RADview User Security Levels

Monitor

Operator

Administrator

• Configuring Host Parameters

• Configuring SNMP

• Configuring Management Access.

6.1 Understanding RADview User Security Levels

RADview/OV, when running on a UNIX based operating system, supports the users and permissions security feature. This section presents an overview of the four user security levels: Monitor, Technician, Operator, and Administrator. The user security levels are managed by RADview-EMS/NGN via the Security > User Manager menu path. For further details, refer to the RADview-EMS/NGN NMS User’s Manual.

This security feature defines the following different types of users:

• Monitor

• Technician

• Operator

• Administrator

The above list is written in order of increasing access rights; the Monitor has the fewest access rights and the Administrator has the most access rights. The more privileged access level has access to all of the features to which the less privileged access level has access.

Each type of user has a different level of permission to access ETX-202A application data. The permissions are per menu and per dialog box. Some users have permission for read and write (RW) access to all of the menus and dialog boxes; others have only partial access. Some users have read-only (RO) access or are prohibited access to some of the menus and dialog boxes.

For example: a Technician level user has more access rights than a Monitor level user. Therefore, if a Monitor level user has write (Set) permission to the data in a specific dialog box, then a Technician level user also has write permission.

Chapter 6 Security Management User’s Manual

6-2 Understanding RADview User Security Levels RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A

The menus always look the same for all users. If a user attempts to display a dialog box or to select a menu item that he is not permitted to access, a message will be displayed stating that he has no permission to access that function.

For example: clicking a Set button, or another RW function, requires read and write access. Therefore, a user with read-only access who tries to access these functions will be denied access.

Only an Administrator can add or remove nodes from the Service Center map. For further details, refer to the chapter on Security in the RADview-EMS/NGN System Manual.

Monitor

A user at the Monitor level may monitor all types of information related to the managed device, but cannot do any action that causes any change in the device. This means that any action that writes data to the Agent, is disallowed. Examples of write (set) operations include:

• Set

• Apply

• Delete

• Change

• Add

• Remove

These operations are disallowed, whether from attempted from within a dialog box or selected via a menu option. The NMS provides feedback on a disallowed operation in one of the following ways:

• To obtain maximum information, the Monitor can change any fields (edit, combo-box, etc.) in a dialog box, but these changes cannot be activated because the write operations are blocked. Attempting to activate a change will be rejected, and the Monitor user will be notified via an information dialog box.

• Some dialog boxes do not provide any additional information, but merely allow changes in the system. Since a Monitor cannot use these dialog boxes, they cannot be displayed at all at this level.

A Monitor level user has write access to the following (system level) ETX-202A Agent functions:

• Poll the ETX-202A Agent

• View the history log

User’s Manual Chapter 6 Security Management

RV-EMS/NGN ETX-202A Configuring Host Parameters 6-3

Technician

The Technician can perform all of the Monitor level functions (such as those that were just listed), and, in addition, is allowed write access to the following (system level) ETX-202A function:

• Clear the history log

The responses to disallowed actions, beyond the Technician level permissions, are handled in the same manner as for the Monitor level.

Operator

The Operator is granted all of the permissions needed to perform any task related to the ETX-202A management. The Operator can also perform all of the Monitor and Technician level functions.

Administrator

The Administrator has all of the Operator permissions and, in addition, has access to the RADview-EMS/NGN User Manager function (this function is not accessible by the Operator). The Administrator can also perform all of the Monitor, Technician, and Operator level functions.

6.2 Configuring Host Parameters

RADview allows you to view and configure host parameters for ETX-202A. You can configure host ports for ETX-202A (when Bind is set as Bridge port in Unaware mode).

To configure host parameters:

6.3 Configuring SNMP

RADview allows you to view and modify SNMP settings; enabling you to specify the management station(s) that can transmit or receive ETX-202A traps. There may be between one to ten management stations defined.

You cannot change the number of management stations, or the Manager IDs, but you can change the IP address(es).

To view or specify the management station IP address to which to send traps:


2. On the menu bar, click Options > Manager List.

You can mask ETX-202A alarm traps to prevent the agent from sending the traps to the managers.

To mask a port alarm:


2. On the menu bar, click Fault > Mask Alarms Traps.

Figure 7-8. Mask Alarms Dialog Box

3. Select the relevant check box(es).

4. Click <Set> to implement the updated list of masks.

(You can click <Cancel> to exit the Mask Alarms window or click <Refresh> to display an updated Mask Alarms window.)

If all traps for certain Managers were Masked (via Manager List), this configuration will not be so relevant for these managers, because all traps will be masked for them (even if the selection in this dialog box is not to mask them).

RV-EMS/NGN ETX-102/201/202 Performing Diagnostic Tests 7-15

7.5 Performing Diagnostic Tests

Monitoring performance in the RADview-EMS/NGN ETX-202A consists of performing diagnostics or loopback tests.

Diagnostic tests you can perform on ETX-202A ports include:

• Loopback for Layer 1

• Loopback for Layer 2.

The Diagnostics menu provides access to the port level diagnostic test options. You can run loopback tests for the following types of Ethernet ports:

• NET

• USER.

Figure 7-11. Diagnostics Menu – Port Level

Layer 1 Loopback is available only if Autonegotiation under Port Parameters is disabled.

Running Flow Loopback Tests

ETX-202A supports the following two loopback types:

• Layer-1 loopback performed at the PHY of the physical ports. When the loopback is active the data forwarded to a bridge port is looped from the Tx path to the Rx path, disrupting the traffic. This loopback cannot pass through Ethernet bridges

• Layer-2 loopback with MAC address swapping, when ETX-202A exchanges source and destination MAC addresses of the incoming packets. This loopback can be performed per VLAN (or flows) once it passes through Ethernet bridges and does not disrupt traffic flows, which are not being tested.

If a loopback is already running on any port, a message indicates that the desired loopback cannot run.

To run a Layer 1 loopback test:

1. In the ETX-202A View window, select the relevant Ethernet port.

2. On the menu bar, click Diagnostics > Loopback 1.

The Loopback for Layer 1 dialog appears (Figure 7-12).

3. Enable or disable the loopback test and select parameters as outlined in Table 7-5.

4. Click <Apply>.
