Setting Up Network Nodes

Setting Up Network Nodes

This chapter describes the commands for setting up an IPX, IGX, or BPX node. You must set up each node before you build the network. Sections with task descriptions and command summaries appear before the full command descriptions. The task descriptions tell you how to:

s5248.gif


Naming a Node

Before a node can be added to the network, a unique node name must be assigned. All nodes initially have the default name NODENAME. The node name consists of 1 to 8 printable characters (beginning with a letter), and cannot contain spaces. If you are naming the node after a city or place that contains more than eight characters, you will have to abbreviate the name for use as a node name. The name must be unique across the network. To assign the node the name of alpha, enter:

cnfname alpha

To change a node name, do the following:

Step 1 Sign on to (or establish a virtual terminal connection with) the node whose name you want to change.

Step 2 Change the name of the node using the cnfname command:

The name of the node you are connected to changes to the new name. This new name is distributed automatically to other nodes in the network.


Configuring the Time Zone

Each node must be set to a time zone. To set the time zone for the node to Greenwich Mean Time, enter:

cnftmzn GMT


Removing a Trunk From the Network

Since Rel. 7.0 Packet Lines are referred to as Trunks. Use the letters "trk" in all commands referring to packet lines. To remove a trunk from the network, do the following.

Step 1 Sign on to (or establish a virtual terminal connection with) the node.

Step 2 Delete all packet (trunk) lines attached to the node using the deltrk command. For example, to delete line 5, enter: deltrk 5


Adding an Interface Shelf

An interface shelf is a non-routing device that drives ATM cells to and from a BPX routing hub in a tiered network. An interface shelf is either an IPX configured as an interface shelf (IPX/AF) or an Axis shelf. For an IPX or IGX to serve as an interface shelf, StrataCom personnel must first configure it for that purpose. Furthermore, the shelves must be configured to use STI cell headers and BPX Addressing Mode (BAM). An Axis must have been brought up in the network before you can add it to the tiered network (for instructions, see the Axis Release 2.0 Reference Manual or a later version of this manual). To add a feeder shelf, use addshelf. To delete a feeder shelf, use delshelf. To view conditions on a feeder trunk, use dspnode. Note that addshelf and addtrk are mutually exclusive commands.


Specifying Card Redundancy

The commands for setting up and displaying card redundancy are addyred, delyred, dspyred, and prtyred. Redundancy is established by installing two identical front and back card sets and connecting them with one Y-cable for each paired port. During normal operation, the primary set is "active" and carrying traffic, while the secondary set is in "standby." The primary set determines the configuration of the pair, so the secondary and primary card sets have the same configuration. If the primary is reset or otherwise becomes inactive, the secondary card set becomes active.

IGX card sets may consist of the following (the x indicates multiple versions of an IGX card type, such as a CVM8):

IPX card sets may consist of the following:

BPX card sets may consist of the following:

The following applies to redundant card sets:

The following illustrates a typical Y-cable connection of primary and secondary card sets for redundancy.

Figure 4-1 :

s5249.gif

As depicted in the illustration above, the single end of a Y-cable goes to the user equipment. One of the two connectors at the split end goes to the primary back card, and the other connector goes to the secondary back card.

The switching to the standby card takes place only if the secondary card set is in a Standby or a Standby-F state (not if it is Failed). See the dspcds definition for information on these states.


Note Terminating connections is possible at a primary slot only and not at a secondary slot. See the addcon command.

On multi-port card sets, each primary port is connected by a Y-cable to a secondary (redundant) port. Port 1 of the primary card set must be paired to port 1 of the secondary card set, and so on. The following illustrates the cabling for a multi-port card set.

Figure 4-2 :

s5275.gif

If the secondary card set becomes active, the primary card set becomes the backup. For the primary set to serve as the backup, it must be a complete set and not failed. This applies to single and multi-port cards.

The addyred command is applicable even if the primary and secondary slots are empty. If cards are in place in the primary and secondary slots, the system checks for card compatibility. Two types of incompatibility can occur: back card and jumper or cable. (On SDI, FRI, and FTI cards, jumpers determine whether a port is configured as DCE or DTE. On LDI cards, either a DCE or DTE adapter cable connects to the LDI port, as applicable).

If incompatibilities exist, the following message "Y-Cable Conflict" appears on the screen. Specific conflicts are listed in reverse video in the Y-Cable Redundancy screen. See the dspyred description for more information. V.35 redundancy requires special redundant jumpers on the SDI or FRI cards that are Y-cabled together. Always use the applicable Y-Cable Redundancy Kit for a card.


Controlling External Devices

If your system is configured to control an external device, such as a multiplexer, you can establish a window session to it from the control terminal. While in a window session, any characters you type at the control terminal go to the external device for processing. Any characters generated by the external device appear on the control terminal screen.

The Window to External Device (window) command establishes a window session. You can use this command only if the external device connects to the local node. You can, however, enter the window command during a virtual terminal session so that you have a window session with any external device in the network. To have a window session, execute the virtual terminal (vt) command to place you in the node that is cabled to the device, and then invoke the window command. Before you start a window session, you must have configured the port and the port function with the cnfterm and cnftermfunc commands. In addition, you must know whether the external window device is cabled to a node's Control Terminal (RS-232) port or Aux Port (RS-232) port. The format for the window command is:

window [a | c]

Enter an a if the external device is attached to the node's Aux Port or c if the device is attached to the node's Control Terminal port. The default for this parameter is Aux Port. To establish a window session with an external device attached to a node's Control Terminal port, enter:

window c

The system responds by redrawing the terminal screen. You can now enter commands and send data to the external device as if you were locally connected to its Control Terminal port. While in the window session, only commands used to control the external device are recognized. IPX/IGX/BPX commands are not recognized. You might notice a slight transfer delay in transmission, due to the IPX/IGX/BPX bundling of characters before transmitting them. Transfers are delayed until the transfer buffer is filled, or until the keyboard has been inactive for over 50 milliseconds.

To end a window session, enter an escape sequence. Escape sequences are one-to-eight characters in length and are configured with the Configure Terminal Port Function (cnftermfunc) command. For example, if you have specified "signoff" as the escape sequence in the Configure Terminal Port Function, enter the following to end the window session:

signoff

The default escape sequence is:

^^ (SHIFT 66)

If this escape sequence does not work and you do not know the configured escape sequence, leave the keyboard idle for four minutes. After four minutes, the system terminates the window session.

addalmslot

Enables the MAJOR and MINOR alarm indicators on an Alarm Relay Card (ARC) or Alarm Relay Module (ARM) front card. It also configures the slot to provide external alarms from the Alarm Relay Interface (ARI) back card. This command should be used at each node equipped to provide external alarm indications to the customer alarm reporting system. The slot specified for the ARC or ARM may be any shelf slot but is usually the slot farthest to the right.

Upon command execution, the system places the alarm card set in the active state and displays the current alarm status.

Parameter Description
slot number Specifies the slot number of the alarm card set to activate.


addshelf

Adds a trunk between a BPX hub node and an interface shelf in a tiered network. The trunk for an interface shelf must be "added" to the network before it can be used for traffic. Before a trunk can be added to the network, the line must be activated (or "upped") on both the interface shelf and the hub node with the uptrk command.

The interface shelf can be either an Axis or an IPX configured as an interface shelf (IPX/AF). If the interface shelf is an IPX, it must be configured as an interface shelf by StrataCom before you add it with addshelf. If the interface shelf is an Axis, it must also already be established in the system through Axis-specific commands. See the Axis Release 2.0 Reference Manual for the procedures.

Interface shelves take only frame relay input on the circuit side and drive one ATM T3 trunk with an interworking connection type (ATFR) on the trunk side. Each IPX/AF or Axis shelf has one T3 trunk connected to an BPX serving as an access hub. Each access hub can support up to 16 T3 trunks to the interface shelves. Attempting to add more than 16 shelves to a hub triggers an error message.

The addshelf command requires that the trunk configuration include STI header format and BPX Addressing Mode (BAM) mode. A trunk must be free of major alarms before it can be added.

addyred

Enables card redundancy for the IPX, IGX, and BPX cards. This command specifies a primary card slot and a secondary (standby) card slot to form a redundant pair. Refer to the section titled "Specifying cable redundancy" at the beginning of this chapter for a list of supported card sets for each node. The following applies to redundant card sets:

In both the single and multi-port card sets, if the secondary card set becomes active, the primary card set serves as its backup (assuming the primary card set is complete and not failed). The addyred command can be used even if the primary and secondary slots are empty. If cards reside in the primary and secondary slots, the system checks for card compatibility. Two types of incompatibility can occur: back card and jumper or cable. (On SDI, FRI, and FTI cards, jumpers determine whether a port is configured as DCE or DTE. On LDI cards, either a DCE or DTE adapter cable connects to the LDI port. The IPX Installation Manual, the IGX 16/32 Reference Manual, and IGX 8 Installation Manual describe the jumper positions and cabling.)

If incompatibilities exist (for example, if port 1 on the primary slot is configured as DTE and port 1 on the secondary slot is DCE), the message "Y-Cable Conflict" appears on the screen. Specific conflicts are listed in reverse video in the Y-Cable Redundancy screen. See the dspyred command for more information.

cnfname

Specifies the name by which a node is known within the network. It may be changed at any time. The new node name is automatically distributed to the other nodes in the network. Node names are case sensitive. For example, an upper-case "A" is not considered to be the same as a lower-case "a". Duplicate names are not allowed in the same network. Node names may be configured from within a job sequence. If the node name is changed and the corresponding name in the job is not changed, the job will not function properly. In the following situations, the cnfname command cannot be executed:

cnfprt

Configures the printing function. To obtain local or remote printing at a node, a printer must connect to the AUX PORT. Also, the configuration must include the correct baud rate and printer type for the port. Use the cnfterm and cnftermfunc commands to do this.

The cnfprt and cnftermfunc commands interact. If the auxiliary port on the node is configured for either an External Device Window or the Network Management Log, a "local" printing configuration automatically changes to "no printing." Printing is not possible because the auxiliary port is being used for another purpose.

Establishing a virtual terminal connection with a node does not affect the printing location established for the node that initiates the virtual terminal connection. For example, if node alpha is configured so that all alpha information goes to a printer at node beta and if alpha establishes a virtual terminal connection with node gamma, the results of print commands entered on the alpha keyboard still print at beta. Furthermore, this occurs regardless of the printing location configured for node gamma.

remote node name Specifies the remote node whose printer is used for print commands issued by a user who is physically logged on to this node. This option is only valid when remote printing has been selected. A remote node is one within the domain, but not the node where the command is entered.


cnfterm

Configures data transmission parameters for the control and auxiliary ports. The IPX, IGX, and BPX support two RS-232 serial ports on the upper bus expansion card. The top port is called the Control Terminal port. The lower port is called the Auxiliary Port (AUX). Parameters can vary with the equipment connected to the port. The control port may connect to a control terminal, a direct-dial modem, or an external RS-232 device. The auxiliary port may connect to either a printer or an external RS-232 device. Once the data transmission parameters have been set for a port, use the cnftermfunc command to specify the equipment attached to the port. The configuration parameters must match the equipment physically attached to the port.

Table 4-7 : cnfterrm -- Parameters

Parameter Description
a/c specifies the port to be configured, where a is the auxiliary port and c is the control port
baud rate specifies the baud rate. Valid baud rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200 bps
parity specifies parity checking for character transmission to and from the port. Valid parity choices are "E" for even parity, "O" for odd parity, and "N" for no parity
data bits specifies the number of bits to be sent for each transmitted character and the number of bits to be expected for each received character. A "7" indicates seven bits for each character; an "8" indicates eight bits for each character
stop bits specifies the number of stop bits to be sent with each transmitted character and the number of stop bits to be expected with each received character. A "1" indicates one stop bit with each character; a "2" indicates two stop bits with each character
output flow control specifies the output flow control. An "X" specifies XON/XOFF flow control; an "N" specifies no flow control
input flow control specifies input flow control. An "X" specifies XON/XOFF flow control; an "N" specifies no flow control
cts flow control configures cts flow control. An "X" specifies XON/XOFF flow control; an "N" specifies no flow control. This parameter should be turned off if working with modems on a BPX.
use DTR specifies whether the node requires DTR to be asserted to allow or maintain a Login. A "Y" causes the node to require the presence of DTR before allowing a login. A "N" causes the node to ignore DTR entirely


cnftermfunc

Configures port functions for the IPX, IGX, or BPX control and auxiliary ports. The IPX and IGX support two RS-232 asynchronous serial ports on the SCC and SCM, respectively. The BPX supports two RS-232 asynchronous serial ports on the LMBCC. In all cases, the top port is the CONTROL TERMINAL port, and the lower port is the AUX PORT. Depending on the desired network configuration, the CONTROL TERMINAL port can connect to a control terminal, StrataView, a direct dial-in modem, or any external RS-232 device. The AUX PORT can connect to a printer, an auto-dial modem to call a control center, or any external RS-232 device.

The interface specified for the port must match the equipment physically attached to the port. The baud rate and other data transmission parameters for the port are set with the cnfterm command. If either port is configured as an external device window, enter the window command to begin a session with the external device.

If the auxiliary port is configured as an autodial modem, designate a "network ID" and a "phone number". Configuring the auxiliary port for an autodial modem enables the following to occur: When a change in alarm status happens anywhere in the network, the autodial modem attached to the auxiliary port dials the specified "phone number". If the call goes to StrataCom's ISC, the alarm is logged under the specified "network ID". With this log, ISC engineers are automatically notified of any problems that occur on the network.

cnftermfunc a TheCustomer 18007674479


Description

Configure an auxiliary port by issuing parameters. The port configuration screen appears with "Autodial Modem" highlighted to indicate that this interface has been chosen for the auxiliary port. When an alarm occurs on the network, the modem will dial 18007674479 to reach the StrataCom ISC. The alarm will be logged on the ISC computer under the name "TheCustomer".

Table 4-8 : cnftermfunc -- Parameters

Parameter Description
a Specifies that the auxiliary port will be configured.
c Specifies that the control port will be configured.

Table 4-10 : cnftermfunc -- Optional Parameters

Parameter Description
escape string Specifies a string of 1 to 8 characters used to terminate a session with an external device. This parameter is valid only for "External Device Window" interfaces. The default escape string is "quit."
network id Specifies a string of 1 to 12 characters used to identify the network during an autodial connection to the StrataCom ISC. This parameter is valid only for "Autodial Modem" interfaces. Any alarm status change in the network is automatically logged at the ISC using this network ID. Contact the StrataCom ISC for the ID to use.
dial string Specifies the telephone number to be dialed when the network is reporting alarm status changes via the autodial modem. This parameter is valid only for "Autodial Modem" interfaces. The "phone number" can be up to 16 characters long and normally consists of digits and commas only. A comma is used to indicate that the autodial modem should pause two seconds before continuing to dial. For example, the number "9,4083700736" would cause the modem to dial a "9", pause two seconds, then dial the remaining digits. Contact the StrataCom ISC for the number to use.


cnftmzn

Configures the time zone for the node. Configuring the time zone for a node ensures that the node's time is correct for the local area regardless of the node at which the network date and time are set. Once configured, the time zone for the node is saved in battery-backed memory. After a power failure, a node's date and time are restored if at least one other node in the network has the current time and date.

delshelf

Deletes an interface shelf from a tiered network. Trunks are specified as an IPX/AF or an Axis. Normally, you should execute delshelf only on the BPX hub node. On an IPX, delshelf just lets you turn off LMI if the line to the BPX is not allowing communication. In contrast to deltrk, you can execute delshelf at any time if no connections terminate at the trunk.

delyred

This command disables the Y redundancy for the card set in the specified primary slot number. If the secondary card slot is being used as the active slot at the time you use the delyred command, the system attempts to switch back to the primary slot. The substitution takes place only if the primary slot card set is complete and the cards are in a Standby or a Standby-F state (not if they are Failed). See the dspcds description for information on card states. See the addyred and dspyred commands for more information on Y-cable redundancy.

dspasm

Displays BPX node alarms that, when active, produce an external alarm output (relay closure). These alarms are associated with powering and cooling the node as well as a statistics count. For example, a minor alarm is generated when a fan speed drops below 2000 rpm. Since the single ASM card is always located in slot 15, no card slot need be entered for this command. The ASM alarms are configured with the cnfasm command (SuperUser level)

dspcds

Displays the cards in a shelf, front and back, with their type, revision, and status. For front and back card sets, the status field applies to the cards as a set. A letter "T" opposite a card indicates that it is running self-test. A letter "F" opposite a card indicates that it has failed a test. If lines or connections have been configured for a slot, but no suitable card is present, the display will list the missing cards at the top of the screen. If a special backplane is installed or if a card was previously installed, empty slots are identified as "reserved".

For an IPX 32 or IGX 32, the screen initially displays only the upper shelf with a "Continue?" prompt. Typing "y" to the prompt displays the cards in the lower shelf. The command dspcds followed by the letter "L" (for lower shelf) displays card status for just the lower shelf. For an IPX 8 or IGX 8, the display screen uses only the left column to display cards for slots 1 through 8. The status and update messages that appear are as follows:

· Active Card in use, no failure
· Active---F Card in use, failure(s) detected
· Active---T Card active, background test in progress
· Active---F-T Card active, minor failures detected, background test in progress
· Standby Card idle, no failures
· Standby---F Card idle, failure(s) detected
· Standby---T Card idle, background test in progress
· Standby---F-T Card idle, failure(s) detected, background test in progress
· Failed Card failed
· Down Card downed by user
· Down---F Card downed, failure(s) detected
· Down---T Card downed, failure(s) detected, background test in progress
· Mismatch Mismatch between front card and back card
· Update * Configuration RAM being updated from active PCC
· Locked* Incompatible revision of old software is being maintained in case it is needed
· Dnlding* Downloading new system software from the active PCC adjacent node of from StrataVIew
· Dnldr* Looking to adjacent nodes or StrataView for software to load or software needs not specified by user

In the preceding messages, as asterisk (*) means additional status designation for BCC and NPC cards. "F" flag in the card status indicates that a non-terminal failure was detected. Cards with an "F" status are activated only when necessary (for example, when no other card of that type is available). Cards with a "Failed" status are never activated.

Table 4-15 : dspnds -- Optional Parameters

Parameter Description
domain number Specifies the domain number (1 to 8) for which to display nodes. Only the nodes within the specified domain are displayed. If the number does not match a valid domain number, the message "No domain with this number" is displayed.


dspnds

Displays the name, type, and alarm status of all nodes within the domain of the node executing the command. The nodes are grouped per domain, with one domain per display. The remote node alarm status is provided only on a domain basis. Therefore, the user must virtual terminal (vt) to the remote node to get specific alarm information.

If a node is in alarm, its name is highlighted and the alarm type (major/minor), is displayed. A major alarm will be a flashing word. A junction node is identified with "Yes" printed under the Jct column.

dspnode

Displays a summary of the interface shelves.

This command can isolate the shelf where an alarm has originated. The routing nodes in a network do not indicate the interface shelf where an alarm condition exists, so execute dspnode on a hub node to find out which interface shelf originated the alarm.

The first example shows a screen display with dspnode executed on a BPX. The second example shows a screen with dspnode executed on an IPX/AF. When executed on an IPX/AF, dspnode shows the name of the hub node and the trunk number. Note that to execute a command on an IPX/AF, you must either use an attached control terminal or telnet to the IPX/AF.

dspprtcnf

Displays printing configuration for the node. The three printing modes, `remote', `local' and `no' are listed and the currently selected mode is highlighted. If remote printing is selected, the node name where the remote printer is located also appears. If this node name is flashing, the node is unreachable.

The dspprtcnf command displays the current print configuration for the domain where the command is entered. Printing cannot occur across a junction node. Each domain must be configured with a printer for this feature to print whenever needed.

Remote mode indicates that the log for the node prints on the printer at the listed remote node. Local mode indicates that the log for the node prints on the node's printer. No printing mode indicates that the log for the node does not print.

prtyred

Prints the Y-cable redundancy configuration for an SDP, LDP, CDP, FRP, FTC, NTC or AIT card on an IPX. On an IGX, the cards are the HDM, LDM, CVM, FRM, FTM, NTM and BTM. On a BPX, the applicable cards are the BCC, ASI, and BNI. This command uses the same syntax and prints the same information as the dspyred command. See the dspyred command for details on the format of the command output.

Table 4-17 : upcd -- Parameters

Parameter Description
slot number Specifies the card slot number of the card to be upped


window

Provides an interface to an external device. To establish a session with an external device, first use the cnftermfunc command to designate the port to serve as the external device window. To begin the session, enter the window command and specify the port. The control terminal screen subsequently clears, after which characters entered at the control terminal go to the external device and vice versa.

Because the IPX/IGX/BPX "bundles" characters together before transmitting them, a slight transfer delay occurs. Transfers are delayed until the transfer buffer is filled or the keyboard is inactive for over 50 milliseconds. To end the session, enter the escape sequence designated with the cnftermfunc command. The default for the escape sequence is ^^ (SHIFT 66).

The window command can be executed over a virtual terminal connection. This makes it possible to control all external devices from a single point in the network.
