About the SNMP DSU

Model 7610 SNMP DSU Features

The SNMP DSU provides an interface between the customer premises

equipment (CPE) and a DDS network. Its features include:

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Management. Provides

network management via an industry-standard SNMP management system.

In-band Management Channel (IMC). Provides remote management via

SNMP or Telnet session capability over the DDS network.

Async Terminal Interface (ATI). Provides a menu-driven VT100-compatible

interface for configuring and managing the DSU locally or remotely by Telnet

session or External Modem.

Local Management. Provides local management via an:

— Async terminal connection through the Terminal port

— NMS connection through the Management port

Remote Management. Provides remote management:

— Out-of-band, using an external modem through the Terminal port or

Management port

— Via Telnet through the Management port or the In-band Management

Channel (IMC)

DDS Rates. Operates at 56 and 64 kbps CC (clear channel).

LADS Operation (Local Area Data Set). Operates at 56 and 64 kbps

full-duplex (also called a limited distance modem).

Autorating of Line Rate. Establishes the line rate from the network receive

signal and automatically adjusts to the detected line rate.

Data Port Rates. Supports the same rates as the DDS or LADS operating

rates, except when the IMC is enabled.

Diagnostics. Provides the capability to diagnose device and network

problems and perform tests, including digital loopbacks, pattern tests, and

self-test.

Device and Test Monitoring. Provides the capability of tracking and

evaluating the unit’s operation, including health and status, and error-rate

monitoring.

Two Customer-Specified Configuration Storage Areas. Allows quick

access to alternate sets of configuration options.

Security. Provides multiple levels of security, which prevents unauthorized

access to the DSU.

SNMP Management Capabilities

The DSU supports SNMP Version 1, and has the capability of being managed by

any industry-standard SNMP manager and accessed using SNMP protocol by

external SNMP managers.

MIB Support

The following MIBs are supported:

MIB II (RFC 1213 and RFC 1573) – Defines the general objects for use with

a network management protocol in TCP/IP internets and provides general

information about the DSU. MIB II is backward-compatible with MIB I.

RS-232-Like MIB (RFC 1659) – Defines objects for managing RS-232-type

interfaces (e.g., V.35, RS-422, RS-423, etc.) and supports synchronous data

ports and management communication ports on the DSU.

Enterprise MIB – Supports configuration, status, statistics, and tests on the

DDS network interface.

Using the ATI

Accessing the ATI

You can communicate with the Asynchronous Terminal Interface (ATI) using one

of the following methods:

Direct connection through the Terminal port.

Dialing in through an external modem to the Terminal port.

Telnet session through the Management port (locally or via an external

modem).

Telnet session through the In-band Management Channel (IMC).

NOTE:

Only one asynchronous user interface session can be active at a time, and

another user’s session cannot be forced to end. To automatically log out a

user due to inactivity, enable the Inactivity Timeout option (see Terminal Port

Options, Table A-4).

The user interface is blank until activated. Press Return to activate the user

interface. Security can limit ATI access several ways. To setup security or a login

ID, refer to Security, Chapter 4.

Connecting to the Terminal Port

Verify that the settings of the device that you connect to the Terminal port match

these factory-loaded option default settings:

Data rate set to 9.6 kbps.

Character length set to 8.

Parity set to None.

Stop Bits set to 1.

To change the Terminal Port settings, refer to Terminal Port Options, Table A-4.

Security

Controlling SNMP Access

There are three methods for limiting SNMP access.

Disable the SNMP management option.

Assign SNMP community names and access levels. The DSU supports

SNMP Version 1, which provides limited security through the use of

community names.

Limiting SNMP access through validation of the IP address of each allowed

SNMP manager.

Assigning SNMP Community Names and Access Levels

The DSU can be managed by an SNMP manager supporting the SNMP protocol.

The community name must be supplied by an external SNMP manager accessing

an object in the MIB.

To define SNMP community names, follow this menu selection sequence:

Main Menu → Configuration → Load Configuration From → Edit →

SNMP & Communication → General SNMP Management

Refer to General SNMP Management Options, Table A-10, to:

Enable SNMP Management.

Assign the SNMP community names of the SNMP Managers that are allowed

to access the DSU’s Management Information Base (MIB).

Specify read or read-write access for each SNMP community name.

Limiting SNMP Access through the IP Addresses of the Managers

The DSU provides an additional level of security through validation of the

IP addresses.

The SNMP Management option must be enabled. To control SNMP access with

IP addresses, follow this menu selection sequence:

Main Menu → Configuration → Load Configuration From → Edit →

SNMP & Communication → SNMP NMS Security Options

Refer to SNMP NMS Security Options, Table A-11. The SNMP access can be

limited by:

Enabling NMS IP address validation to perform validation checks on the

IP address of an SNMP management system attempting to access the DSU.

Specifying read or read-write access for each NMS authorized to access the

unit.

IP Addressing

Selecting an IP Addressing Scheme

You can select from many IP addressing schemes to provide SNMP NMS

connectivity. Review the following information in preparation for selecting an

IP addressing scheme.

Assign IP addresses to:

— The Management port

— The IMC

Refer to the IP Addressing Scheme Examples section.

When the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) option is set to Proprietary,

IP routing information is automatically passed between interconnected DSUs

from the network side. Refer to Management Port Options, Table A-5.

However, verify that a route to the subnet(s) is set in the NMS’s or local

router’s routing table. This equipment will not automatically receive routing

information due to the proprietary protocol.

The gateway to subnet(s) is through the DSU connected to:

— The LAN using a LAN adapter, or

— A router, terminal server, or NMS via PPP or SLIP link-layer protocols

Each DSU’s routing table supports a maximum of 20 routes, even though a

single route is all that is needed to reach every device on a subnet.

Set a default route only for devices directly connected to the DSU’s

Management port.

Any legal host address is allowed for a given subnet; the address choice

within the subnet is completely arbitrary.

7610-A2-GB20-10

November 1997

IP Addressing

IP Addressing Scheme Examples

Management of IP addressing is based upon individual IP addresses assigned to

each interface. The IP interfaces for the unit are the:

Management port: Set the Port Use option to Net Link; see Management Port

Options, Table A-5.

IMC: Set the In-Band Management Channel Rate (bps) to 1600, 4000, or

8000 bps; see Network Interface Options, Table A-2.

NOTE:

For IP addressing, involve your Information Systems (IS) department since

the department decides on the IP addressing scheme used for your

organization.

The following illustrations and examples apply to IP management traffic only.

The subnet mask shown for these examples is 255.255.255.000.

IMC Connection – Same Subnet

In this example, DSU A is connected to:

The NMS, at the central site, via a LAN adapter

A remote unit, DSU B, through the proprietary IMC

NOTE:

Interconnected DSUs will automatically pass routing information between

each other using a proprietary protocol. However, a static route to

subnet 135.18.2.0 must be set in the routing table of the NMS Host.

Using Routers to Route DSU Management Data

In this example, the DSUs:

Receive their management data through the Management port connection to

the AUX port of the router.

Do not route the data among themselves. Routers route management data

for the connected DSUs using the management data path between the

routers.

The illustration shows each DSU with its own subnet. This subnet is independent

of the subnet on the LAN, which is supported by the local router. This enables the

router to distinguish the data destined for the DSU from the data for the LAN.

MIB Descriptions

Interfaces Group

The Interfaces Group as defined in RFC 1573 consists of an object indicating the

number of interfaces supported by the unit and an interface table containing an

entry for each interface. Since RFC 1573 is an SNMPv2 MIB, it is converted to

SNMPv1 for support by the unit. The following table provides clarification for

objects contained in the Interfaces group when it is not clear how the object

definition in RFC 1573 is supported by the unit.

A shared boundary between functional units.

interface

Internet Protocol. The TCP/IP standard protocol that defines the unit of information passed

across an Internet and provides the basis for packet delivery service. IP includes the ICMP

control and error message protocol as an integral part. The entire protocol suite is often

referred to as TCP/IP because TCP and IP are the two most fundamental protocols.

IP address

The IP address has a host component and a network component. The address is assigned

to hosts or workstations with direct Internet access to uniquely identify entities on the

Internet.

ITU

International Telecommunication Union, formerly known as CCITT. An advisory committee

established by the United Nations to recommend communications standards and policies.

LADS

Local Area Data Set is used to provide a point-to-point link between two devices (also

called LDM – limited distance modem).

within a building.

latching loopback

LED

A latching loopback can only be initiated or terminated by the 64 kbps clear channel

network service provider.

Light Emitting Diode. A status indicator that responds to the presence of a certain

conditions.

link layer protocol

The protocol that regulates the communication between two network nodes.

Local Loopback. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 141; an input signal

(DTE-to-DCE).

loopback

LSD

Used to test various portions of a data link in order to isolate an equipment or data line

problem. A diagnostic procedure that sends a test message back to its origination point.

Line Signal Detect. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 109; an output signal

(DCE-to-DTE).

manager (SNMP)

MIB

The device that queries agents for management information, or receives unsolicited SNMP

trap messages indicating the occurrence of specific events.

Management Information Base. The set of variables a device running SNMP maintains.

Standard, minimal MIBs have been defined, and vendors often have private enterprise

MIBs. In theory, any SNMP manager can talk to any SNMP agent with a properly defined

MIB. MIB-II refers to an extended management database that contains variables not

defined in the original MIB I.

multiplexing

provider.

No Signal. A network-reported condition.

object (SNMP)

OOF

A specific item within the Management Information Base (MIB).

Out Of Frame. An error condition in which frame synchronization bits are in error. A

network-reported condition.

Glossary

RIP

Routing Information Protocol. Specifies the routing protocol used between DSUs.

Receive Line Signal Detect. See CD.

RLSD

router

A device that makes decisions about the paths network traffic should take and forwards

that traffic to its destination. A router helps achieve interoperability and connectivity

between different vendor’s equipment, regardless of protocols used.

(DCE-to-DTE).

Received Data. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 104; an output signal

(DCE-to-DTE).

SDLC

SLIP

Synchronous Data Link Control. A standard data link protocol.

Serial Line Internet Protocol. A link layer protocol being used over serial lines by IP.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol. A generic internet network management protocol

that allows the device to be managed by any industry-standard SNMP manager.

subnet

An IP addressing standard in which a portion of the host address can be used to create

multiple network addresses that are logically a subdivision of the network address.

subnet address

The subnet portion of an IP address. In a subnetted network, the host portion of an IP

address is split into a subnet portion and a host portion using a subnet address mask. This

allows a site to use a single IP network address for multiple physical networks.

subnet mask

synchronous

An integer used with the IP address of the host to determine which bits in the host address

are used in the subnet address.

Data transmission that is synchronized by timing signals. Characters are sent at a fixed

rate.

TCP/IP

TDM

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Refer to IP.

Time Division Multiplexer. A device that enables the simultaneous transmission of multiple

independent data streams into a single high-speed data stream.

Telnet

Virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. Allows the user of one host

computer to log into a remote host computer and interact as the user for that host.

Test Mode. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 142; an output signal (DCE-to-DTE).

TXC

Transmit Clock. An EIA-lead standard for V.24 circuit CT 114; an output signal

(DCE-to-DTE).
