Determining Which Management Tool to Use
The Passport 4460 unit is managed through Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), which is an application-level protocol that operates over TCP/
IP. Therefore, all of the Passport 4460 device management tools accept your
commands and instructions, then translate them into SNMP commands.
Note: Refer to Using Passport 4400 Install Tool Version 4.1, 206906-B
Chapter 1, for more information to help you determine which
management tool to use.
Device Management Tools

Network Management Tools
The following network managements are compatible with Passport 4460 units:
•
Optivity NMS 9.0
Offers a powerful set of tools for automating the management of diverse,
multivendor networks. With Optivity NMS 9.0, you can control activity on an
enterprise network (a network of heterogeneous Ethernet, Fast Ethernet,
Token Ring, FDDI, and Frame Relay internetworks that consist of high-speed
backbones, geographically dispersed networks, local wiring closet hubs,
routers, servers, end-user workstations, and a variety of cabling media) all
from a single management station.
•
•
Preside Multiservice Data Manager (PMDM)
A network management platform used in heterogeneous networks as a
method of standardization of information processing. Used in large networks,
PMDM is highly scalable and offers many tools. Surveillance of all the
devices is done using the same set of tools and presents results consistently
across devices.
Open Management System for Passport (OMS-P, Version 4.1)
A SNMP-based network management platform that builds on a third party
product (HP OpenView) and adds device integration into that product. Used
in large networks of heterogeneous SNMP devices and provides a common
representation of different devices and their management information.

unique identifier that allows SNMP to read and write status information. These
IfIndexes are used to establish logical links between interfaces and higher-level
applications and protocol stacks.
The Passport 4460 can support up to 255 IfIndexes. Some of these are hard-coded
and cannot be changed; others are automatically reserved by the Passport 4460
operating system when the unit is powered on.
For more information on IfIndexes, proceed to the the following:

58 Appendix A IfIndexes and Interface Identification
Hard-Coded IfIndexes
The following IfIndex numbers are hard-coded, representing the interfaces that
are initially present in the Passport 4460.
IfIndex
Description

Logical Ethernet interface for routed LAN traffic
Virtual port for WAN traffic
Logical Ethernet interface for bridged LAN traffic
Virtual port for network management traffic
Reserved IfIndexes and Ranges
The Passport 4460 also reserves IfIndexes for available ports on the base module
and expansion data modules. By reserving these IfIndexes, the Passport 4460
guarantees that a specific port always uses the same IfIndex. For instance, Port 1
always uses IfIndex 150 to refer to the physical interface.
The following table lists IfIndexes that are reserved for use by the ports located on
the base module.
Port Number
IfIndex - Physical Port
IfIndex - Connector
IfIndex - Service

3
150
153
156
151
154
157
152
155
158
There are three reserved IfIndexes associated with each port. For Port 1, IfIndex
150 refers to the physical port interface, 151 refers to the connector interface, and
152 refers to the frame relay service.

Appendix A IfIndexes and Interface Identification 59
IfIndex Ranges
Although the following ranges of IfIndexes may not currently be assigned, they
are reserved and you should assign them only to the indicated interface type:
•
•
•
•
1-4: Ethernet port assignments
5-32: Additional virtual ports
33-148: Voice assignments
149-206: WAN port and Expansion port assignments
Note: If the Passport 4460 unit is set to factory defaults, the default IfIn-
dex assignment for the primary netlink is 149 or 147 (for units with only
one Ethernet Base Module port available). The Passport 4400 Install Tool
automatically deletes IfIndex assignments 149 and 147. Install Tool may
be used at any time for installation and/or configuration of the Passport
4460 unit. You should make sure the primary netlink is assigned to an
IfIndex of 207 or higher, and avoid assigning anything to either IfIndex
149 or 147.
Safe IfIndex Ranges
You can assign available IfIndexes between 207 and 255 when creating, for
example, a frame relay tunnel PVC, and not worry about the assignment being
overwritten when new modules are defined on the Passport 4460 unit. Go to,

IfIndex Table Display Definitions
Interface Extension Type
The interface extension type, shown as IfExtType in the display above, describes
the port, protocol, service, or other interface identified by the IfIndex. The
following table describes some of the common interface extension types seen on
the Passport 4460.
ethernetCsmacd
propVirtual
The Ethernet port (10BASE-T or AUI) on the base module. This
interface is always assigned IfIndex 1.
A virtual port on the Passport 4460. Virtual ports are used to direct
traffic across a WAN link. By default, there are two virtual ports,
assigned IfIndexes 2 and 4. For more information on virtual ports,
see the Online Documentation, LAN Services.
propMultiplexor
frameRelay
A physical port on the Passport 4460. There are three physical
ports on the base module.
A frame relay protocol implemented on a physical port.
frameRelay refers to the switching protocol used for PANL and
RFC1490 netlinks.
frameRelayService
v35
A frame relay protocol implemented on a physical port.
frameRelayService refers to Frame Relay DCE service.
The connector type for a physical port. V.35 is one of several
connector types supported on Passport 4460 physical ports. For
more information, refer to Reference for the Passport 4400 Cables,
205678-A or Reference for the Passport 4460 Hardware,
205677-A.
other
The protocol or service for this IfIndex is undefined or unknown to
the Passport 4460.
PPA Number
The Point of Physical Attachment (PPA) is not a literal physical point of
attachment, but is an internal identifier for the Passport 4460 code. Each PPA can
have one or more IfIndexes associated with it, but the PPA numbers are unique
only within the module; they are not unique across all devices or slots.
209664-A
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Appendix A IfIndexes and Interface Identification 63
For physical interfaces, the PPA number corresponds to the physical port number
on the module. For logical or virtual interfaces, the number corresponds to a
logical port or interface and is dependent on the interface module type. If a device
does not support PPAs, the value -1 indicates that the field is not used as an
identifier.
Slot Name
The physical interface module is the name that the Passport 4460 uses to identify a
module interface. The base module is always base, and expansion modules are
named exp1 and exp2.The Serial Daughter Boards (SDBs) are considered
expansions to the base module itself, and are referred to as Port 2 and Port 3 of the
base module.
Channel Number
The channel number along with the slot and PPA number, uniquely identifies an
interface within a device type. However, the channel number itself is not unique
across all device types.
To display the channel number of an interface, along with additional interface
information, use the following CLI command:
CLI> show system interfaceExtension operational table
See “Configurator Procedure for Displaying the IfIndex Table” on page 60 for the
Configurator steps for displaying IfIndex parameters.
For interfaces describing serial data connections (data ports), the channel number
refers to the physical data channel. For interfaces describing voice channels, the
channel number refers to the corresponding voice channel number. For interface
types that do not use a channel number, the value of -1 is used.
