To open a new window for an NP or a line card, click on the card, and then click on the Open Selected Object option from the Slot pulldown menu. (Selecting this menu option is equivalent to double-clicking on the object.) A Monitor Card window is displayed (see Figure 4-3).
The Card window displays card and port status information and per-port statistics. You can use the vertical scroll bar to view all the relevant port information for the selected card. This window is capable of being displayed, but not edited or modified. However, the monitor application polls the target node for a fixed set of MIB objects and updates the dialog box approximately every 2 minutes.
To view chassis information, double-click on the LS2020 logo in the upper-right corner of the monitor display (see Figure 4-1). A Monitor Chassis window is displayed (see Figure 4-4).
The Chassis Status window displays chassis-level information, such as the chassis name and chassis identification number. It also contains the duration of the monitor session, the time of the last contact with the node, and the time that has elapsed since the last contact.
To open the CLI view window, click on the snmp cli option from the General pulldown menu. The CLI View window is displayed (see Figure 4-5).
From the CLI view window, you can issue CLI commands to monitor and configure the node. For more information about the CLI, see "Command Line Interface" chapter or the LightStream 2020 CLI Reference Manual.
To access the Help Topics window, click on the On help option from the Help pulldown menu. The Help Topics window is displayed (see Figure 4-6).
An index of help topics is listed. The help topics appear in alphabetical order. After you select the topic you want help on, click on OK or double-click on the topic itself. You can use the vertical scroll bar to view all the available help text for the selected topic.
To open a new window for Nettime clock status information, double-click on an SWC2 bulkhead (a bulkhead with a BITS OK LED). A Nettime Status window is displayed (see Figure 4-7).
Note The Nettime service is not supported on a chassis that contains an SWC1 card.
Figure 4-7 : LS2020 Monitor Nettime Status Window
The Nettime service for a target switch uses a switch card (SWC2) to distribute a single reference clock to all the line cards in a given chassis.
The available sources for the reference clock are
- The building integrated timing source (BITS)
- The internal oscillator on the SWC2
- A clock signal received from a line card port
You can configure up to 10 reference clock sources for the target chassis, listed in order of preference. If the preferred source fails, Nettime automatically switches to the next most preferred source that is currently available. The monitor application polls the target node for the approriate Nettime MIB objects and displays the results.
If a switch failure occurs in a chassis that contains a redundant switch, Nettime automatically uses the backup switch card to distribute the reference clock to the line cards on that chassis.
New Monitor Process Target Window
To open a new window to monitor a chassis, click on the Open New Chassis option from the File pulldown menu. The New Monitor Process Target window is displayed (Figure 4-8).
Figure 4-8 : New Monitor Process Target Window
The system prompts you for the name of the new chassis you want to monitor. After you enter the name of the new chassis, a new monitor Chassis View window (see Figure 4-1) is displayed. You can continue to monitor the old chassis in the original window.
Temperature Window
To view temperature information, double-click on the thermometer icon on the line card bulkhead display (see Figure 4-1). A screen like the one shown in Figure 4-9 is displayed.
Figure 4-9 : LS2020 Monitor Temperature Window
The Temperature window shows a summary view of the temperature values of the corresponding card. It also displays the warning and shutdown points for each card. The thermometer icons turn red when the card exceeds pre-defined temperature limits.The monitor application polls the target node for the appropriate MIB objects and displays the results.
Version Window
To see the software version of the monitor application that you are using, click on the On Version option from the Help pulldown menu. A screen like the one shown in Figure 4-10 is displayed.
Figure 4-10 : LS2020 Monitor Version Window
Interpreting Colors in the LS2020 Monitor Display
The LS2020 monitor application uses color to indicate the status of various objects. This section provides information about the following objects and their corresponding colors:
- Bulkhead paint bars and screws
- LED icon
- Nettime icon
- Power supply icon
- Thermometer icon
Bulkhead Paint Bars and Screws
The paint bars in the monitor graphical display of line card bulkheads correspond to the colors that are actually painted on the bulkheads of the cards. Table 4-2 lists the colors that represent the line cards.

1 The color of the card does not change.
When a card goes down (ceases to operate), the bulkhead screw for that card turns red. If the card is up, the bulkhead screw is white.
LEDs
If an LED on the monitor display is shown as black, it is unlit. If an LED is shown as white, the monitor does not know its status either because the status is changing too rapidly or because the monitor does not have MIB support. For example, an LED on an access card is shown as white . Table 4-3 lists LEDs, their colors, and their meanings.

Using the LS2020 Topology Map
The LS2020 topology map application displays a map that represents the actual topology of an LS2020 network. The map is a set of related objects, symbols, and submaps that provide a graphical and hierarchical presentation of the network.
The LS2020 topology map application runs on HP OpenView. If you are not familiar with the HP OpenView Windows product, see the HP OpenView User's Guide. When you start HP OpenView, the LS2020 Topology map application is automatically invoked. Once you start the application, it builds the current LS2020 submap and then periodically polls each LS2020 node for status information. When creating a new HP OpenView map, you can turn off the LS2020 topology function. You must have a color monitor to use the LS2020 topology map application.
The LS2020 topology map provides
- A view of the physical topology of an LS2020 network
- Autodiscovery and automatic entry of LS2020 nodes and trunks between nodes
- Verification of new nodes and trunks added to or removed from the LS2020 network
- Automatic placement of nodes
- Status information about each node and trunk
- A display of trunk connections between two LS2020 nodes
- Invocation of other LS2020 applications (configurator and monitor)
Once the LS2020 submap is created, you can modify it by
- Moving nodes
- Changing node or trunk labels
- Grouping nodes into domains
- Deleting nodes or trunks
- Changing map attributes
You can also show multiple trunk connections, which are represented by meta-connection symbols. The symbol for a meta-connection is <n>, where n is the number of connections being represented (see Figure 4-12).
Building a Topology
As previously mentioned, once you start HP OpenView, it can create any number of maps, and each map is able to be configured to build an LS2020 topology. However, you do not view a map directly. You view the submaps that make up the map. A submap is a particular view of the network environment. Each submap displays a different view of your map. The application creates a Root submap for each LS2020 map. The Root submap provides a standard, top-level submap for every network map.
Figure 4-11 shows an example of a Root submap. In this figure, the Root submap contains two symbols: one that represents the Internet and another that represents an LS2020 network.
Figure 4-11 : Example of a Root Submap
When you open a map, you actually view submaps of the map. To open the LS2020 submap, double-click on the LightStream symbol. Figure 4-12 shows a sample LS2020 topology submap.
In this example, the trunk between the ls-alpha2 and ls-alpha-np nodes actually represents two trunks, as indicated by the meta-connection symbol <2>.
Figure 4-12 : Example of an LS2020 Topology Submap
Displaying Meta-Connections
When a meta-connection is first drawn, its symbol is not displayed. To display a meta-connection symbol (see Figure 4-13), follow these steps:
Step 1 Click the right mouse button on the trunk.
Step 2 Select Describe/Modify Symbol... from the option menu.
Step 3 Select the Display Label.
The next sections describe how to modify the LS2020 submap and view its meta-connection submap.
Figure 4-13 : Meta-connection Submap
Creating LS2020 Domains
LightStream domains (logical groups of nodes) can consist of any number of LS2020 nodes. All trunk connections between selected nodes and nonselected nodes are redrawn between the LS2020 domain and the non-selected nodes. Any meta-connections between an LS2020 domain icon and either another LS2020 domain or a node show the two nodes that are connected. When you show an exploded view of an LS2020 domain icon, the nodes that make up the domain and any trunk connections between these nodes are displayed.
To create an LS2020 domain, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select the LS2020 nodes that you want grouped together.
Step 2 Pull down the LightStream menu from the menu bar, and click on Topology...Build Domain.
- The selected nodes are removed from the map and replaced by a single domain icon.
Removing an LS2020 Domain
When you remove a domain from the topology map, the LS2020 nodes that were originally grouped in that domain are redrawn onto the current submap. To remove an LS2020 domain, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select the domain you want to remove.
Step 2 Pull down the LightStream menu from the menu bar, and click on Topology...Remove Domain.
Deleting a Node or Connection
If you want to remove a node or connection from the LS2020 submap, follow these steps:
Step 1 Double-click on the node or trunk that you want to delete.
Step 2 Pull down the Edit pulldown menu on the menu bar, and click on Delete.
- When you remove a node or trunk connection from the LS2020 submap, it is rediscovered and placed back on the map. To prevent this from happening, click on Hide on the Edit menu. This option keeps a node or trunk connection from being rediscovered and placed back into the submap.
Displaying Trunk Information
Within the LS2020 submap, a trunk connection is displayed including its interface bandwidth. If you want to get chassis, port, and utilization information about this connection, you click the left mouse button on a trunk. A pop-up dialog box appears and information similar to the following displays (see Figure 4-14).
Figure 4-14 : Example of a Trunk Connection
Updating a Topology
The LS2020 Topology Manager periodically queries each LS2020 node for its trunk information to see if new trunks have been added or known trunks have been removed. It also communicates with HP OpenView for any new objects that are discovered. If new objects are found, the LS2020 Topology Manager (LTM) checks to see if the object's SysOid number matches its own.
Changing LS2020 Topology Map Attributes
The LS2020 submap attributes that you can modify are
- LTM enabled/disabled
- Status polling interval
- Timeout for trunk removal
- Rules
- Timeout to clear a rule
- Marginal/major status timeout
The next sections provide a brief description of the attributes and the steps for changing them.
Procedure to Change the LS2020 Topology Map Attributes
You can modify these attributes from either the OpenView Root dialog box or the LS2020 Submap dialog box:
Step 1 Pull down the File menu on the menu bar, and click on Describe/Modify Map. The Map Description dialog box appears (see Figure 4-15).
Figure 4-15 : Example of Map Description Dialog Box
Step 2 Click on the appropriate entry in the Configurable Applications list.
Step 3 Click on the Configure for this Map button. For example, if you click on the LS2020 Topology Map, the Configuration box appears (see Figure 4-16).
Figure 4-16 : Example of Configuration Dialog Box
From the Configuration box, you can enable or disable the LS2020 Topology Manager (LTM) and select the attributes that you want to modify, such as status polling interval, timeout for trunk removal, and so on.
LTM Enabled/Disabled
The default is to enable the LS2020 Topology Manager (LTM) when you start HP OpenView.
Status Polling Interval
The LS2020 topology map application polls each LS2020 node periodically for status information (the default polling time is 60 seconds).
Status changes in the network are displayed through changing colors on the network map and writing messages to HP OpenView Alert window.
Status Definitions
Table 4-7 lists the possible status conditions of a node in the network and their meanings. Table 4-8 lists the same information for a trunk connection in the network.
Table 4-7 : Node Status Definitions

|
The user has configured the trunk to be unmanaged.
|
Timeout for Trunk Removal
The default for the timeout for trunk removal attribute is 300 seconds.
Rules
The LS2020 topology map application collects information for each interface to determine the condition of the LS2020 network. There are rule definitions that apply to the data collected. For example, the default value for the percent inbound packets being discarded is 15 percent. If the percent of packets being discarded exceeds either the default value or the value you set, a message gets logged to the HP OpenView Alert window. You can change the rate of the default value according to your network needs. Table 4-9 lists the rules and their default values that are applied to the data collected.

Marginal/Major Status Timeout
Marginal status indications for nodes and major status indications for connections indicate potential network integrity problems. Once a problem is discovered, such as a large number of packets being discarded, the appropriate status is set. The status remains in effect until a time period (the default is 5 minutes) elapses without the problem being discovered. To change the default, select the File...Describe/Modify menu item.

Monitoring Cards
You can monitor network processor (NP) cards, edge cards, trunk cards, and switch cards. You select the card you want to monitor by specifying its card number (slot number).To determine a card's slot number, you can look at the front of the system to see the numbered slots (see Figure 4-1). When you specify a card, you also get information on its associated access card. To monitor the cards in the LS2020 switch, follow these steps.
Step 1 Verify that the target switch is correct by entering the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show snmp
- If you need instructions on changing the target switch, see the section on "Setting the Target Switch for CLI Commands" in the chapter entitled "Command Line Interface."
Step 2 Enter the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show card <card #> <parameter>
- where
- <card #> is the slot in which the card you want to monitor is located.

Monitoring DSU/CSU Statistics
The csumon tool, available from the bash shell, lets you monitor the DSU/CSU for the following:
- Low-speed line card
- Medium-speed line card
In addition, you can use csumon to issue commands to an external DSU/CSU attached to a low-speed interface.
Monitoring the DSU/CSU on a Low-Speed Line Card
You can obtain CSU statistics by connecting to an external data service unit/channel service unit (DSU/CSU) from an LS2020 switch through a serial line. This provides a terminal to the DSU/CSU. You use its own interface to set up and monitor the DSU/CSU. (See the documentation for the DSU/CSU for details.)
Step 1 Connect the LS2020 switch to the external DSU/CSU by connecting an EIA/TIA-232 serial cable from the control port on the fantail to the CSU craft (or console) port.
Note EIA/TIA-232 and EIA/TIA-449 were known as recommended standards RS-232 and RS449 before their acceptance as standards by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
Step 2 To access the bash shell prompt, log in as root or fldsup on the LS2020 switch to which the DSU/CSU you want to monitor is attached.
Step 3 Test the connection by using the following command:
LSnode:#
csumon <.card.port#>
- where
- <.card.port#> is The target switch card and port number in the LS2020 switch, entered in .card.port format (card 2 - 10; port 0 --- 7)
Note You must use the leading "." in the card and port entry shown above.
- Figure 4-17 shows a screen displaying the kind of information you might see in a DSU/CSU status display. The display you see may vary, depending on the DSU/CSU you are using.
Figure 4-17 : Example Showing csumon Display for a Low-Speed Line Card
Note While the statistics are displayed, you can refresh the screen or alter the counter display. See the last line in the previous screen display for instructions on how to do this.
Step 4 Terminate the display by pressing ^C. This returns you to the bash shell prompt.
Step 5 To learn about commands you can issue to the DSU/CSU, consult its documentation. To obtain help on csumon, enter the following command:
LSnode:1#
csumon
Monitoring the DSU/CSU on a Medium-Speed Line Card
The medium-speed line card (MSC) has a built-in DSU/CSU. Use the following steps to monitor and display the DS3 MIB statistics for MSC ports. MSC CSU statistics are available through use of the standard DS3 MIB variables.
Step 1 To access the bash shell prompt, log in as root or fldsup to the LS2020 switch.
Step 2 Enter the following:
LSnode:1#

Using the CLI to Monitor Configuration and Status
This section provides steps for monitoring the configuration and status of the following connections and processes of an LS2020 switch:
- Connections (ATM UNI, Frame Relay, frame forwarding, Ethernet, FDDI, OC3, and CBR)
- Processes (CLI, collector, GID, and ND)
Monitoring ATM Connections
To monitor the ATM UNI virtual channel identifiers (VCIs) configured on a particular ATM UNI port, follow these steps. They provide you with information on the individual connections configured on each port. This information is available for ATM UNI ports only.
Step 1 Verify that the target switch is correct by entering the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show snmp
- If you need instructions on changing the target switch, see "Setting the Target Switch for CLI Commands" in the chapter entitled "Command Line Interface." To get a list of all VCIs configured on a particular ATM UNI port, enter the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show port <port#> listvci
- where
- <port#> is the number of the port for which information displays. The port number is in card.port format (card is 2 --- 10; port is 0 --- 7).
Step 2 Once you have a list of all ATM-UNI VCIs, you can look at a particular VCI by entering the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show port <port#> vci <vci#>
- where
- <vci#> is the number of the VCI for which information displays.
Figure 4-22 is an example of the display you see when you enter show port 6.0 vci 16.
Figure 4-22 : Example Showing the show port 6.0 vci 16 Display
You can also get a list of all the ATM UNI VCIs for the entire chassis by entering the show chassis listvci command.
Monitoring Frame Relay Connections
These steps allow you to monitor individual data link connections configured on Frame Relay ports. These connections are recognized by their data link connection identifiers (DLCIs).
Step 1 Verify that the target switch is correct by entering the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show snmp
- If you need instructions on changing the target switch, see "Setting the Target Switch for CLI Commands" in the chapter entitled "Command Line Interface." To get a list of all data link connections configured on a particular Frame Relay port, enter the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show port <port#> listdlci
- where
- <port#> is the number of the port for which information displays. The port number is in card.port format (card is 2 --- 10; port is 0 --- 7).
Step 2 Once you have a list of DLCIs, you can look at a particular circuit by entering the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show port <port#> dlci <dlci#>
- where
- <dlci#> is the DLCI number for which information displays. The DLCI number must be between 16 and 991.
Note See the LightStream 2020 CLI Reference Manual for information on setting and showing port attributes with the CLI.
Figure 4-23 shows an example of the display you see when you enter show port 10.7 dlci 141.
Figure 4-23 : Example Showing the show port 10.7 dlci 141 Display
You can also get a list of all the Frame Relay connections for the entire chassis by entering the show chassis listdlci command.
Monitoring CLI Attribute Settings
These steps let you monitor the attribute settings for the CLI program itself:
Step 1 Enter the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show cli <parameter>
- where
- <parameter> is all (default)
echosource
lineedit
log
term
time
timer
timestamp
timeout
traplevel
debug
banner
- The following is an example of the display you see when you enter show cli:
- cli> show cli

Traplevel: Debug
Debug: off
Banner: CLI (Version 2.100 of May 24 1995
PROGRAM: cli: compiled May 24 1995 @ 02:31:40
Monitoring the Collector
The collector lets you run up to 25 collections at one time. You can set up the collections to save user-defined data for a specified time interval and you can use this data for future analysis. For further information on creating collections, see the "LightStream 2020 Statistics and Data Collection" chapter.
To monitor the status of a particular collection, follow these steps:
Step 1 Verify that the target switch is correct by entering the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show snmp
- If you need instructions on changing the target switch, see "Setting the Target Switch for CLI Commands" in the chapter entitled "Command Line Interface." To look at the status of a particular collection, enter the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show collection [<collection #>]
- where
- [<collection #>] is the number of any collection that has been defined. If you do not enter a collection number, CLI displays all collections that have been defined.
- The following is an example of the display you see when you enter show collection 1:
*cli>

Monitoring GID
The global information distribution (GID) system is a service that maintains a consistent network-wide database. It ensures that every switch has an up-to-date copy of all the information in the database.
To monitor the status of the GID software, follow these steps:
Step 1 Verify that the target switch is correct by entering the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show snmp
- If you need instructions on changing the target switch, see the section on "Setting the Target Switch for CLI Commands" in the chapter entitled "Command Line Interface."

Monitoring the Test and Control System
The test and control system (TCS) is a fully integrated, yet autonomous, computer system with the LS2020 chassis. There is a TCS microcomputer on each NP, interface, and switch module in an LS2020 chassis. The TCS has a separate communications path from the LS2020 switch.
The main functions of the TCS are to manage low-level operations of each module and to provide access to all modules in the chassis through a local console port, which is supported by the TCS microcomputer on the switch card.
Monitoring TCS
To monitor the values collected by the TCS on a particular card in the chassis, follow these steps. The cards you can monitor are in slots 1 --- 10, switch A (SA), and switch B (SB).
Step 1 Verify that the target switch is correct by entering the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show snmp
- If you need instructions on changing the target switch, see the section on "Setting the Target Switch for CLI Commands" in the chapter entitled "Command Line Interface."
Step 2 Enter the following at the cli> prompt:
cli>
show tcs <card #> [<parameter1>] [<parameter2>]
- where
- <card #> is 1 --- 2 for NPs
