Cisco AS5100 Access Server

The Cisco AS5100 access server is a versatile data communications platform that combines in one chassis the functions of a Cisco access server with analog and digital modems, CSUs, and T1 channel banks.

The Cisco AS5100 access server provides the greatest benefit for organizations that need to centralize processing capabilities for remote offices and LANs. It enables organizations to aggregate their modem traffic onto analog or digital telephone lines and route it through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

The Cisco AS5100 access server is optimized for high-speed modem access, and is ideally suited for all traditional dial-up applications, such as access to a host, electronic mail, file transfer, and dial-in access to a LAN.

The Cisco AS5100 access server is available with the following modems:

Each of the V.32 or V.34 modems is available as digital, analog, or analog/digital.

Figure 84 : Cisco AS5100 Access Server Front Panel

h2769.gif

Figure 85 : Cisco AS5100 Access Server Rear Panel

h2770.gif

The Cisco AS5100 access server consists of the following components:


Chassis/Chassis Midplane

The Cisco AS5100 access server is built around a three-bus chassis that can be managed by optional SNMP management software.

The midplane design supports a wide array of NACs and NICs that can be configured and installed in the chassis to meet diverse connectivity needs. The chassis provides 17 connectors in front for NACs, and 17 connectors in the rear for NICs. All NACs and most NICs can support hot-swapping, which allows you to insert and remove cards while the power is on.


Power Supply

Optional AC or DC-powered chassis are available. DC power is supplied to the installed NICs and NACs via connectors in the midplane. All configured chassis from Cisco Systems include two power supplies. One unit provides sufficient power to a fully loaded chassis, and the second provides full redundancy.


T1 Cards

The T1 NIC provides a four-wire T1 interface to the Cisco AS5100 access server, and the T1 NAC provides mapping of individual DS0s to the quad modem NACs across the Time Division Multiplexer (TDM) bus.

The T1 NIC is available as a dual-trunk version, which handles up to 48 DS0 channels from two trunks. Each channel carries either a pulse code modulation (PCM)-encoded voice channel or digital data. The T1 NAC supports 64-kbps clear channel operation for data channels, and supports Feature Group B for voice channels. Again, each of the DS0 channels connect to other NACs via the midplane.

The T1 NIC provides RJ-48 connector(s) to terminate the trunk(s). It also provides an RJ-45 connector for the EIA/TIA-232 interface port. The T1 NIC performs all CSU functions including auto equalization and auto gain functions to support 6000 feet of 24-gage shielded cable. This card complies with all Bell Core standards relating to T1 alarms, loopbacks, error detection, and so forth. The T1 NIC is compatible with an external CSU if desired, and provides a serial interface to the T1 NAC.

The T1 NAC allows you to use dial number identification string (DNIS) and automatic number identification (ANI) information provided by the public 950 services, Feature Groups B and D, and enhanced 800 services to route data. Using this call information, the Cisco AS5100 access server chassis can independently configure the specific modems according to the dialed number requirements.

The T1 cards support the following features:


Management Cards

The network management NAC and NIC cards act as proxy agents for the T1 and modem cards in the chassis. The NAC and NIC cards communicate with the T1 and modem cards over a dedicated management bus on the midplane. An SNMP console communicates with the management cards via a serial console port or over a LAN interface. Total Control Manager (TCM) software provides users with easy and immediate access to configuration/management of the modem and T1 card sets.


Access Server Cards

The access server NAC and associated NIC cards function as a communications server system with 16 asynchronous serial ports, one synchronous serial port, and one 10BaseT Ethernet port. Up to three access server cards can be installed in each Cisco AS5100 access server chassis. Each one is functionally equivalent to a standalone Cisco 2511, with the following exceptions:


Modem Cards

Each chassis houses up to 48 high-speed analog or digital modems. Digital modems connect to the phone system by a direct T1 link through the T1 NIC. Modems can be managed with software ranging from a simple terminal interface menu system for device configuration or via SNMP using the network management card.

The quad modem cards provide four dial-up modems on a single card. Each modem is capable of supporting V.32 or V.34 and MNP-5 or V.42/V.42bis error correction and data compression.

The modem can also make use of the DNIS and ANI information provided by the public 950 services, Feature Groups B and D, and enhanced 800 services to customize the configuration of the modem before answering a call. For example, the dialed phone number can be associated with specific applications, and the same modem pool can be dynamically configured on a call-by-call basis to adjust to the requirements of the application.

The Quad EIA/TIA-232 NIC provides the physical interface for four EIA/TIA-232 ports via a 50-pin connector on the rear of the card.

Each EIA/TIA-232 port supports the full complement of EIA/TIA-232 signals necessary for synchronous or asynchronous operation. The ports support operation at speeds up to 115.2 kbps, and provide four serial interfaces to the quad modem NAC.

The modem cards support the following features:


Cisco AS5100 Access Server Network Management Products

The Cisco AS5100 access server uses two network management products:

Total Control Manger/SNMP is a Windows-based SNMP host software package that runs on any IBM-compatible 486 PC. This package communicates with the management card in each Cisco AS5100 access server chassis to perform all network management functions for the modem and T1 cards.

CiscoWorks Windows includes the Configuration Builder application. The Configuration Builder application allows you to create configuration files for your access server without requiring you to remember complicated command-line language or syntax. For more information, refer to "CiscoWorks Windows" in the chapter "Internetwork Management" earlier in the catalog.

Cisco AS5200 Universal Access Server

The Cisco AS5200 universal access server is a versatile data communications platform that provides the functions of an access server, a router, and digital modems in a single modular chassis. The Cisco AS5200 is intended for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), telecommunications carriers, and other providers that offer managed Internet connections, as well as small- to medium-sized sites that provide both digital and analog access to users on an enterprise network. By terminating both analog and digital calls on the same chassis simultaneously, the Cisco AS5200 provides you with a clear, simple, and easy migration path from today's predominantly analog dial-in services to tomorrow's digital dial-in services.

Note Customers with homogenous or segregated dial-up requirements might choose to implement central-site solutions with other Cisco Systems products such as the Cisco AS5100 access server for asynchronous modem dial in, or the Cisco 4000 or Cisco 7000 series for ISDN dial in.

Cisco AS5200 Access Server Summary of Benefits

The unique combination of Cisco IOS software and the Cisco AS5200 access server mixed-media platform results in a host of benefits for network managers.


Universal Access

The Cisco AS5200 universal access server is the first product in an entire line of universal access solutions offered by Cisco Systems. Universal access is more than just providing connections from ISDN or asynchronous modems; it is also the ability to perform the following:

The Cisco AS5200 access server provides universal access for small- to medium-sized dial-in sites. This access enables you to save money by using one trunk line, instead of two, for all calls, which reduces the number of system components and operational costs. The Cisco AS5200 access server also supports the widest array of networking and routing protocols available in the industry. Not only does the Cisco AS5200 access server support remote node and remote LAN dial-in protocols, but it also supports all of the Cisco IOS-supported routing protocols.


Scalability

The scalability and manageability of a network are a concern for all network managers. With Cisco IOS Software Release 11.2, the Cisco AS5200 access server will support call aggregation among multiple chassis. Using multichassis, Multilink PPP, Cisco Systems has developed the means to aggregate multiple calls terminated on multiple servers. Network managers will have the ability to stack multiple AS5200 access servers for high-density applications.

Another important feature of scalability is managing the components of a growing network. The Cisco AS5200 access server supports both the command line interface and the CiscoWorks graphical user interface (GUI). Network managers can collect statistics from the modems, upgrade your modem software, group modems for configuration, soft- or hard-busy-out modems, and even monitor call-in-progress signals from individual modems, all from the same platform they already use to manage their routers.


Security

Cisco IOS software provides tight security in the core network, and with the Cisco AS5200 access server, extends that core security to mixed-media dial-in sites. Some of the features supported by the Cisco IOS are access lists, violation logging, Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+), and RADIUS.


WAN Optimization

Cisco offers a wide array of WAN optimization features, including compression, routing filters, snapshot, bandwidth-on-demand, and dial-on-demand routing. These features help control WAN costs---the largest single cost of operating an internetwork.


Single Vendor Support

With the Cisco AS5200 access server, the router, access server, integrated CSUs, and modems are all supported by Cisco's world class 7-days-a-week, 24-hours-a-day global support team.


Compatibility

With the CSU, modems, routers, and access server components integrated in one chassis, the Cisco AS5200 access server has been designed to avoid incompatibility concerns that plague multibox, multivendor installations, and for seamless interoperability among its integrated components. Fewer individual pieces of equipment reduce configuration and incompatibility issues.


Cisco AS5200 Access Server Feature Cards

The following feature cards are available for the Cisco AS5200 access server. These cards are not hot swappable.


Dual T1/PRI Card

Each Cisco AS5200 access server must have one dual T1/PRI card installed in the chassis. The system does not support more than one of these cards. This card provides the channelized interface necessary to handle digital and analog calls that are terminated in the unit. The card is software switchable between channelized T1 and ISDN PRI. You can configure the card so that both ports are channelized T1, or both ports are ISDN PRI, but not one of each. If you configure the card to support ISDN PRI, it can terminate analog modem calls and ISDN BRI calls. The card determines which type of call is coming in by reading the Q.931 signaling in the ISDN D channel associated with each PRI line. In dual PRI mode, the card can handle 23 B channels plus one D channel on each line, for a total of 46 B channels and 2 D channels. The ability to combine more than one PRI line's signaling into one D channel (47B + 1D), which is known as NFAS, is not currently available.


Carrier Card

The carrier card can hold up to two 12-port modem modules. You can configure a Cisco AS5200 access server to support up to two carrier cards. If you order a Cisco AS5200 access server with modems, it must have one carrier card for each two modem cards ordered.


Microcom Select V.34 12-Port Module

The Select modem module contains 12 manageable modems. These modems are Flash based, so you can upgrade their microcode remotely. You can order up to two of these modules with a carrier card. These modems support real time call-in-progress monitoring. No additional memory is required to support this feature.

The Cisco AS5200 access server supports multiple modem technology and provides centrally managed modem capabilities---key requirements for service providers and enterprises building large dial-in pools. The Cisco AS5200 access server features an open modem architecture of Microcom modems. This enables you to maximize modem coverage with higher performance while leveraging your installed technology base. The Cisco AS5200 access server offers the most complete modem management capabilities, providing network managers with one solution at a central management location. For example, the same management platform is used to manage both routers and modems, significantly streamlining network management. In addition, incoming modem calls can be managed in progress rather than after the call. This allows for fast troubleshooting and analysis.


Microcom Reliable V.34 12-Port Module

The reliable modem module contains 12 unmanageable modems. These modems are Flash based, so you can upgrade their microcode remotely. These modems are not upgradable to Select modems. You can order up to two of these modules with a carrier card. These modems cannot support real time call-in-progress monitoring---the ability to determine the state of a modem at any point in time.

Software Options

fig_2.gif

This section describes the Cisco IOS software releases and other software options available for Cisco access servers.

Note that all Cisco AS5100 access server cards (AS51-16A-E) must use the same Cisco IOS release level and feature set.

Note The Cisco AS5200 access server supports Cisco IOS Release 11.1 and later releases only.

With the introduction of Cisco IOS Release 11.2, feature sets have been updated to make it easier to select the exact feature sets you need. Feature sets names are simplified and are more consistent across Cisco hardware platforms. In addition, you can add options to the standard feature set offerings. These options provide additional features and value based on the hardware platform selected. Cisco also continues to offer specialized feature sets for key applications.

fig_3.gif

Cisco access servers offer the following types of feature sets:

  • Basic. The basic feature set for the hardware platform.

  • Plus. The basic feature set plus additional features.

  • Plus 40. The basic feature set, plus feature set, and 40-bit data encryption.

  • Plus 56. The basic feature set, plus feature set, and 56-bit data encryption.

Cisco IOS images with 40-bit Data Encryption Standard (DES) support may legally be distributed to any party eligible to receive Cisco IOS software. 40-bit DES is not a cryptographically strong solution and should not be used to protect sensitive data.

Cisco IOS images with 56-bit DES are subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) controls and have a limited distribution. Images to be installed outside the U.S. require an export license. Orders may be denied or subject to delays due to U.S. Government regulations. Contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send e-mail to export@cisco.com.

The new feature set tables use the following conventions to identify features:

  • X : the feature is offered in the basic feature set

  • -- : the feature is not offered in the feature set

  • Plus: the feature is offered in the Plus feature sets

  • Encrypt: the feature is offered in the Encryption feature sets

There are two types of DRAM memory in the Cisco 2500 series and AS5100 access servers: primary and shared (packet). Primary memory is used to store the operating configuration, routing tables, caches, queues, and packets. Shared memory is used to store incoming and outgoing packets. In Table 177 and Table 178, the physical configuration column lists the amount of fixed DRAM and DRAM SIMM memory supported. The system usage column lists how the system allocates the total DRAM memory installed.

Table 177 : Recommended Shared and Primary DRAM Memory---Cisco 2500 Series Access Servers

Physical Configuration System Usage
Total DRAM
Memory 		Fixed DRAM1 DRAM SIMM Shared DRAM
Memory 		Primary DRAM Memory

Cisco IOS Feature Set Upgrades

Cisco IOS Release 11.2 for the Cisco access servers allows software upgrades that cross multiple feature sets. This will require you to order multiple feature set licenses. The following is an example:

You have a Cisco 2511 access server running the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 IP Routing feature set. You want to upgrade to the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 Enterprise Plus 40 feature set. You are crossing two feature sets: one to get from IP to Enterprise, and one to get to the Plus 40 feature set. To complete the upgrade, use the following guidelines:

  • If you subscribe to SMARTnet Maintenance, you need to do the following:

    • Order FL25-CA= (IP to Enterprise upgrade license, charged item)

    • Order FL25-W= (Plus 40 upgrade license, charged item)

    • Order DRAM (if you do not have the minimum required DRAM for the new feature set)

    • Download the new software feature set from CCO

  • If you do not subscribe to SMARTnet Maintenance, you need to do the following:

    • Order FL25-CA= (IP to Enterprise upgrade license, charged item)

    • Order FL25-W= (Plus 40 upgrade license, charged item)

    • Order DRAM (if you do not have the minimum required DRAM for the new feature set)

    • Order SW25AW-11.2.1= (Cisco 2500 Enterprise Plus 40 software on diskette, charged item)

Feature sets for Cisco IOS Releases 11.2 can be upgraded as described in Table 179. Adding a feature set may require you to purchase additional memory. The minimum memory requirements for Cisco 2500 series, AS5100, and AS5200 access servers are listed in Table 177 and Table 178. The minimum memory requirements listed were chosen for typical branch and remote office applications. If your network is very large, using complex routing protocols, or using RMON, you may need more memory. Configuration analysis and testing are encouraged.

1 For CiscoIOS Release 11.2, substitute the release number for xx.x.x in the product number (for example, SW25A-11.2.1=).
2 If you subscribe to SMARTnet Maintenance, you only need to order the upgrade license (FL25 number). If you do not subscribe to SMARTnet Maintenance, you also need to order the upgrade media product number. Use the appropriate SW- or SF- product numbers shown that end with an equal sign (=). See the example in the section "Cisco IOS Feature Set Upgrades" earlier in this chapter.

Feature sets for Cisco IOS Release 11.1, 11.0, 10.3, and 10.2 can be upgraded for the Cisco 2500 series and AS5100 access servers as described in Table 180. To order an upgrade, you must use two product numbers; one represents the upgrade license, and the other represents the software. For example, to upgrade from an IP feature set to an IP feature set with IBM base functionality, order product number FR25-CCS= (the upgrade license) and SW25CS-xx.x.x= (the software). To upgrade to a feature set with APPN, you must first purchase the upgrade license for the desired feature set and then purchase the upgrade license and upgrade software for the APPN feature set.

CiscoRemote Software

CiscoRemote is a scalable and comprehensive solution for remote access client software. There are two types of CiscoRemote software: CiscoRemote Lite and CiscoRemote Plus. Both products are optimized for easy installation and tuned for operation with Cisco access servers. CiscoRemote extends the benefits of Cisco IOS software capabilities to the desktop and provides a complete solution when used with Cisco access servers or remote node products (such as the Cisco 201 and Cisco 202).

CiscoRemote Lite provides basic remote node connectivity to an enterprise network. This basic connectivity package includes an installer, dialer, modem discovery, TCP/IP VxD stack, PPP or SLIP over IP or IPX. You can use CiscoRemote Lite with Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroup, or Windows 95. CiscoRemote Lite is available free of charge on CCO (Cisco Connection Online, URL http://www.cisco.com) for an unlimited number of clients, provided that it is used to dial in to a Cisco device. The software is not licensed for use with any other vendor's hardware.

CiscoRemote Plus combines a complete set of applications for dial-up remote computing in one software package---a complete solution for enterprise network, remote access, and Internet communications. All applications are optimized, tested, and supported by Cisco Systems. CiscoRemote Plus links PCs with other computing resources within an enterprise network or across the Internet. Using CiscoRemote Plus, you can browse the World Wide Web, transfer files, log on to remote hosts, access Internet news groups, or share documents in real-time collaborative sessions.

Table 183 provides a comparison of CiscoRemote Lite and CiscoRemote Plus features. CiscoRemote Plus includes dial-up remote applications such as Remote node accelerator (Powerburst), Remote control (Timbuktu), E-mail (Beyond Mail), Netscape Navigator Browser, Version 2.0, and Document conferencing (DataBeam) that are not provided with CiscoRemote Lite.

The software also provides the industry's first remote-node accelerator for dramatically improving dial-up performance. CiscoRemote Plus also has LAN support for attached Ethernet devices such as the Cisco 753 router. CiscoRemote Plus provides all these features at a fraction of the cost of the individual components. CiscoRemote Plus is designed for the demands of an enterprise network, yet its ease of use makes it equally well suited to connect an individual at home to the Internet.

Note CiscoRemote is licensed and sold on a per-user basis.

CiscoSecure UNIX Server

CiscoSecure UNIX Server is a network security server that controls and secures access to a network via dial-up modems or ISDN. It can also secure internal or external access to routers within a network. Network Access security involves three sets of requirements: authentication, authorization, and accounting, referred to as AAA. CiscoSecure utilizes a central database storing user and group profiles of authentication and authorization information. When a user attempts to login to a network, the router communicates with CiscoSecure using the TACACS+ security protocol. CiscoSecure authenticates the user and sets the authorization parameters to determine the user's privilege levels. At the same time it stores accounting information that can be used for security audits or account billing.

Figure 89 displays a view of users and groups in the authentication and authorization (AA) database.

Figure 89 : Users and Groups Displayed in the AA Database

nm3154.gif

Using CiscoSecure, a network administrator can control the following:

  • Who can log in to the network

  • What privileges each user has in the network

  • What accounting information is recorded in terms of security audits or account billing

Table 185 provides CiscoSecure UNIX Server specifications.
