Monitoring a LightStream 2020 Switch


Monitoring a LightStream 2020 Switch

Monitoring a LightStream 2020 Switch

This chapter tells you how to determine the status of a LightStream 2020 multiservice ATM switch (LS2020 switch) and its components. It shows command examples and explains how you can obtain additional information about the LS2020 components and subsystems. It includes the procedures for using the CiscoView 2020 monitor, the LS2020 topology map, and the CLI.


Introduction to Monitoring

Three tools are available for monitoring the LS2020 switch: the CiscoView 2020 monitor program, the LS2020 topology map, and the CLI. The LS2020 monitor and topology map programs are based on a graphical user interface (GUI); the CLI is not. In the monitor program, you click on components to display information about them. In the topology map program, you click on components to display a map that represents the actual topology of the LS2020 network. In the CLI, you use various attribute agruments of the show command to display the value of specified parameters. When you issue a show command, the switch retrieves the requested information from the MIB. You may see a collection of MIB attributes displayed or you may see only a single attribute.

You can monitor the following LS2020 components and subsystems:

For a description of trap monitoring, see the LightStream 2020 Traps Reference Manual.


Using the CiscoView 2020 Monitor

The CiscoView 2020 monitor is a GUI-based device management software application that provides dynamic status, statistics, and configuration information for the LS2020 switch. It is an SNMP-based management tool and displays a physical view of the switch. Although CiscoView is primarily a monitor application, you can use it to configure a small subset of chassis, card, and port parameters and perform minor troubleshooting tasks.


Note If you run CiscoView on a UNIX operating system, you must have a SparcStation 5 or above. You cannot use a Sun SparcStation IPC model.

The CiscoView 2020 monitor uses color to indicate the status of various entities; therefore, you must have a color monitor to make effective use of the monitor software. To start the CiscoView 2020 monitor, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to the NMS workstation.

Step 2 Make sure the environment variable "NMSROOT" is set correctly.

For a standalone environment, NMSROOT should be set to /usr/LightStream-xxx , where xxx is the release number. For example, /usr/LightStream-2.2.1 .

For an HP Openview environment, NMSROOT should be set to /usr/OV/bin/ls_bin .

Step 3 Make sure the "PATH" environment variable includes the following:

For a standalone CiscoView environment, PATH should include /usr/LightStream-xxx/bin where xxx is the release number. For example, /usr/LightStream-2.2.1 /bin .

For CiscoView running under HP OpenView, PATH should include /usr/OV/bin/ls_bin/bin


Note For HP OpenView itself, do not forget that PATH should include /usr/OV/bin .

Step 4 Invoke the CiscoView 2020 monitor by selecting it from the HP OpenView menu or by entering the following command at the system prompt:


% nmcview -host <hostname>

In this case, <hostname> is the name of the switch you want to view.


Front View of the Chassis

When you select the front view of the chassis, you see a physical representation of the line cards showing LED status, thermometer icons for each card, a Nettime color-coded icon, a system description line, and a color legend.

The display that results when you select a front view of the chassis is like the one shown in Figure 4-1. It shows the front view of the LS2020 chassis, its components, and their status. The name that appears at the top of the CiscoView 2020 monitor window reflects the name of the device you selected for monitoring. The front and rear displays are logical representations of the LS2020 chassis. They are not physical representations that you can modify.

Figure 4-1 : Example of a Chassis Front View

nm1947.gif


Rear View of the Chassis

When you select the rear view of the chassis, you can identify an access card, select a port for configuration and monitor information, get color-coded port status, and check whether a card is operational. (If the corresponding front line card is not operational, the access card is displayed with no ports shown.) Figure 4-2 shows an example of a chassis rear view.

Figure 4-2 : Example of a Chassis Rear View

nm1948.gif


Expanded Front and Rear Views

The expanded front and rear chassis views are the same as the front and rear chassis views, except that they eliminate the chassis display information and they magnify the front and rear cards. All monitor and configuration information for front cards, rear cards, and ports is identical to monitor and configuration information for expanded front cards, expanded rear cards, and expanded ports.


Selecting a Menu Option

To select an option from the top menu bar on the monitor display (see Figure 4-1), follow these steps:

Step 1 Point and click on the menu option (for example, File or View) and hold the button down.

Step 2 Slide the mouse button down to display the available menu options.

Step 3 Release the button on the option to select it.

Table 4-1 lists the options on the monitor menu. Available options are highlighted.

Configuring and Monitoring the Chassis

The CiscoView 2020 monitor application provides three levels of device configuration and device monitoring capability---chassis, front/read card, and port. You can access this information from the tool bar or from the menu bar.

The next sections describe the following:

Each section lists the items you can change or monitor. There is no prescribed order for the activities discussed in this secion. The order in which you perform these tasks depends on what you want to achieve.


Configuring a Chassis

The CiscoView 2020 monitor application lets you set some chassis, card, and port parameters. This section concentrates on chassis level parameters (also known as "device" level). You can set many, but not all, of the chassis parameters. The changes you make affect run-time memory only. If the chassis is reset, the changes are overwritten by the configuration parameter settings in the configuration database.


Configuration Device Window

To invoke the Config Device window, first click on the chassis itself (anywhere in the logo area) and then either click on the third icon from the left on the tool bar (see Figure 4-3) or select the device option from the "Configure" menu. A Config Device window is displayed (see Figure 4-4).

Figure 4-4 : Config Device Window

nm1806.gif

When you click on the CATEGORY pushbutton in the upper left corner of the Config Device window, five options are listed:

When you select one of these options, the corresponding dialog box is displayed.

The fields represented by input boxes are configurable. However, before you attempt to change any of the configurable items, you need to change the Write Community field to the correct write community password string. If you do not change this field and try to modify an item, a "permission denied" message is displayed.

To change the Write Community field, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the Options pulldown menu, select the Properties option. A Properties window is displayed (see Figure 4-5).

Step 2 Enter the correct write community password string in the Write Community field. As you enter the password string, the system displays an asterisk (*) for each letter for security reasons.

Figure 4-5 : Properties Window

nm1870.gif

The following paragraphs discuss the five options associated with the CATEGORY pushbutton--Chassis, Management, Physical, Nettime Switch Source, and Nettime Clocking Status.


Config Device Window -- Chassis

You can set the first four items in the Config Device window---Active IP address, secondary IP, Ethernet IP address, and default router IP address.

To use the Config Device:Chassis window to modify one of the chassis properties, follow these steps:

Step 1 Click on the CATEGORY pushbutton and select the Chassis option. The Config Device window is displayed (see Figure 4-4).

Step 2 Enter the new value into the text edit field.

Step 3 Click on the Modify pushbutton.


Config Device Window -- Management

You can set the first three items in the Config Device:Management window---Device Name, Contact, and Location.

To use the Config Device:Management window to modify one of the chassis properties, follow these steps:

Step 1 Click on the CATEGORY pushbutton and select the Management option. The Config Device:Chassis window is displayed (see Figure 4-6).

Step 2 Enter the new value in the text edit field.

Step 3 Click on the Modify pushbutton.

Config Device Window -- Physical

You see chassis physical information when you invoke the Config Device:Physical window. You cannot set any items in this window.

To display the Config Device:Physical window, click on the CATEGORY pushbutton and select the Physical option. The Config Device:Physical window is displayed (see Figure 4-7).

Figure 4-7 : Config Device Window - Physical

nm1869.gif


Config Device Window -- Nettime Switch Source

You can change the first item in the Config Device:Nettime Switch Source window---pushbutton.

To use the Config Device:Nettime Switch Source window to select one of the chassis properties, follow these steps:

Step 1 Click on the CATEGORY pushbutton and select the Nettime Switch Source option. The Config Device:Nettime Switch Source window is displayed (see Figure 4-8).

Step 2 Click on the pushbutton next to the lsNtClockingSwitchAdmin field. The name displayed on this pushbutton varies. It reflects the one of three options you can select---switchA, switchB, or autoSelect.

Step 3 Select one of the options.

If you select switchA or switchB, the node routes the Nettime service through that particular switch. If you select autoSelect, the node decides which switch, switchA or switchB, to route the Nettime service.

Step 4 Click on the Modify pushbutton.

Figure 4-8 : Config Device Window - Nettime Switch Source

nm1868.gif


Config Device Window -- Nettime Clocking Status

You can set the items in the column labeled lsNtCfgSource in the Config Device:Nettime Clocking Status window.

To use the Config Device:Nettime Clocking Status window to modify existing entries, follow these steps:

Step 1 Click on the CATEGORY pushbutton and select the Nettime Clocking Status option. The Config Device:Nettime Clocking Status window is displayed (see Figure 4-9).

Step 2 Enter the new value into the text edit field.

Step 3 Click on the Modify pushbutton.


Note In this version of the CiscoView monitor, you cannot add new entries. You can only modify existing ones.

Figure 4-9 : Config Device Window - Nettime Clocking Status

nm1867.gif


Configuring a Card

The Front Card Configuration dialog box includes information such as board type, LC software version, LCC software version, card name, and number of ports. For a given card, you may be able to obtain all or some of this information. Some of the card level configuration parameters can be changed.

To change card level configuation parameters, follow these steps:

Step 1 Click on the card located on the front of the chassis you want to configure. The Configure pulldown menu is displayed.

Step 2 Select front_card. The Config Front Card dialog box is displayed (see Figure 4-10).

Step 3 Enter the new value into the text edit field.

Step 4 Click on the Modify pushbutton.

Figure 4-10 : Example of Front Card Configuration Dialog Box

nm2021.gif

You can display several line cards at the same time. By selecting more than one card (by dragging the mouse across several cards on the front of the chassis and highlighting them), you can cause several cards to be displayed in one Configure dialog box.


Configuring a Port

The Port Configuration dialog box includes fields with port type and name, physical address, and last change information (see Figure 4-11). Some of the port level configuration parameters can be changed (for example, the port name field).

Figure 4-11 : Example of Port Configuration Dialog Box

nm1805.gif

You can display information for several ports at the same time. By selecting more than one port (by dragging the mouse across several ports and highlighting them), you can cause information about several ports to be displayed in one Configure Port dialog box.


Monitoring a Chassis

The CiscoView 2020 monitor lets you monitor chassis, card, and port information. You can change the polling frequency for all monitor parameters.

To invoke the Monitor Device window, first click on the device itself, and then either click on the fourth icon from the left on the tool bar or select the device option from the Monitor menu. A Monitor Device window is displayed (see Figure 4-12).

When you click on the CATEGORY pushbutton in the upper left corner of the Monitor Device window, five traffic categories are listed:

  • IP

  • ICMP

  • TCP

  • UDP

  • SNMP

When you select one of these categories, the corresponding dialog box is displayed.

Figure 4-12 : Monitors Device Window

nm1812.gif


Changing the Polling Frequency

When you monitor chassis traffic, you can set the polling frequency only. The five traffic dialog boxes, which you can invoke from the Chassis Device Monitor window, are similar to one another. (The five dialog boxes correspond to the five traffic categories listed previously: IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, and SNMP.) For that reason, this section presents one dialog box as an example---the IP Traffic dialog box.

To modify the IP traffic polling frequency, follow these steps:

Step 1 Click on the CATEGORY pushbutton on the chassis Monitors Device window. The Monitors Device window is displayed.

Step 2 Click on the IP Traffic option. The IP Traffic dialog box is displayed (see Figure 4-12)

Step 3 Click on the scroll bar to change the number of seconds in the Polling Frequency field. (The up arrow increases the number of seconds; the down arrow decreases the number of seconds.)

Step 4 Click on the Apply pushbutton.


Monitoring a Card

When you monitor a front card or rear card, you see card information, such as voltage and temperature readings. You cannot change the card level monitor parameters, but you can change the polling frequency for all card level monitor statistics. You can also traverse the line cards using the increment and rewind buttons (see Figure 4-13).

Figure 4-13 : Example of a Line Card Monitor Dialog Box

nm1813.gif

You can monitor several line cards or access cards at the same time. To display several cards in one monitor dialog box, drag the mouse across several cards to highlight them and click on the appropriate option from the Monitor pulldown menu.


Monitoring a Port

When you monitor a port, you see port information, such as number of errors, utilization percentages, and so on. The port level monitor parameters cannot be changed. However, you can change the polling frequency for all port level monitor statistics from each individual dialog box. You can also traverse the ports using the increment and rewind buttons (see Figure 4-14).

Figure 4-14 : Example of Port Monitor Dialog Box

nm1866.gif

You can monitor several ports at the same time. To display several ports in one monitor dialog box, drag the mouse across several ports to highlight them and click on the appropriate option from the Monitor pulldown menu.


Accessing Online Help

If you need help using the CiscoView 2020 monitor application, you can access online help by clicking on the second icon from the left on the tool bar icon or by selecting an option from the Help menu. If you select the icon from the tool bar icon, the Using CiscoView help window is displayed (see Figure 4-15).

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 4-17).


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 4-16 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 4-16 : Example of a Root Submap

h3349.gif

When you open a map, you actually view submaps of the map. To open the LS2020 submap, double-click on the LightStream symbol. Figure 4-17 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 4-17 : Example of an LS2020 Topology Submap

h3350.gif


Displaying Meta-Connections

When a meta-connection is first drawn, its symbol is not displayed. To display a meta-connection symbol (see Figure 4-18), 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 4-18 : Meta-connection Submap

h3351.gif


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 4-19).

Figure 4-19 : Example of a Trunk Connection

h3352.gif


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 4-20).

Figure 4-20 : Example of Map Description Dialog Box

h3353.gif

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 4-21).

Figure 4-21 : Example of Configuration Dialog Box

h3354.gif

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 4-2 lists the possible status conditions of a node in the network and their meanings. Table 4-3 lists the same information for a trunk connection in the network.

Table 4-2 : Node Status Definitions

Status Meaning
Unknown Unable to access the node through SNMP.
Critical One of the following problems has been detected: a chassis ID conflict, a bad power supply, abnormal temperature, or a diagnostic error on a card.
Major One or more cards within the node reported a down operational status.
Marginal One of the following problems on an edge port has been detected: congestion, high error rate, large amount of discarded traffic, or attempt to use an improperly configured PVC. If any of these problems is detected, a message appears in the HP OpenView Events window. Note that for Release 2.1 edge port monitoring is turned off.
Normal No known problems detected.
Unmanaged The user has configured the node to be unmanaged.

Table 4-3 : Trunk Connection Status Definitions

Status Meaning
Unknown Unable to get port information through SNMP.
Critical The ifOperStatus reported down for either port in the connection, or the trunk is no longer being discovered in the GID table.
Major One of the following problems on either of the ports on the trunk connection has been detected: high number of packets being discarded, high trunk utilization, high error rate, or attempt to use an improperly configured PVC. If any of these problems are detected, a message appears in the HP OpenView Events window.
Warning One of the following problems on either of the ports on the trunk connection has been detected: high number of packets with unknown protocols being received or the output queue length is excessively high.
Normal No known problems detected.
Unmanaged The user has configured the trunk to be unmanaged.
Testing The ifOperStatus reported testing for either port in the connection.


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 4-4 lists the rules and their default values that are applied to the data collected.

Table 4-4 : Rule Definitions

Rule Default Value
Percent inbound packets being discarded 15%
Percent inbound packets with unknown protocol 2%
Percent inbound packets containing errors 2%
Percent outbound packets being discarded 15%
Percent outbound packets containing errors 2%
High output queue length 10


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.
1 --- 2 for NP cards
2 --- 10 for line cards
switcha or switchb for switch cards

<parameter> is all (default)
name (no information available for switch cards)
processid
status
version
peak-cell-rate
hardware
ports (no information available for NP or switch cards)

The results of this command vary, depending on the type of card in the slot. If you enter any parameter except the all parameter, a subset of the attributes is displayed.

When you enter show card 5 all, information similar to the following (for a medium-speed card) is displayed:

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 4-22 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 4-22 : Example Showing csumon Display for a Low-Speed Line Card

h3326.gif


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# 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 previously shown.

A screen similar to the one in Figure 4-23 is displayed. Although you enter only one port number, information for both ports on the MSC displays.

Figure 4-23 : Example Showing csumon Display for a Medium-Speed Line Card

h3327.gif


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.


Monitoring Modems

To monitor the modem port on the switch card's console/modem assembly, follow these steps:


Note If you have a redundant switch card, you can monitor the modem port on either the active or backup switch card. This command is not used for monitoring modems connected to line card ports and is not available on the SUN4 version of the CLI.

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."

Step 2 Enter the following at the cli> prompt:


cli> show modem <slot#> <parameter>

Where

<slot #> is sa or sb for the switch cards

<parameter> is all
initstring

The following is an example of the display you see when you enter show modem sa all:

cli> show modem sa all
Initstring: AT&S&D2&&C1SO=1S7=3OS36=7S95=44
cli>

The DS3 MIB maintains these counters over a 24-hour period in 15-minute intervals. The Total column in the display includes up to 96 complete intervals. The Current column includes all counts that will make up the next complete interval. The Intrvl column shows the selected complete interval (from 1 to 96), depending on the actual number of complete intervals. The values that change are updated once per second.

Table 4-5 and Table 4-6 list the counters and their definitions.

Step 3 Terminate the display by pressing ^C. This returns you to the bash shell prompt.

Step 4 To obtain help on csumon, enter the following command at the bash shell prompt:


LSnode:1# csumon


Monitoring Switch Cards, NPs, and Power Supplies

These steps tell you how to monitor the status of your redundant components (switch cards, NPs, and power supplies):

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."

Step 2 To look at the status of switch cards, enter the following at the cli> prompt:


cli> show chassis primaryswitch

This command indicates which switch card is the active switch card. If you have a second switch card, you can assume it is the backup switch card.

Step 3 To look at the slot associated with each of the NPs, enter the following at the cli> prompt:


cli> show chassis general

This command displays a number of details including the slot for the active NP, the slot of this NP, and the system up time. The system up time indicates how long this NP has been up.

Step 4 To look at the status of power supplies, enter the following at the cli> prompt:


cli> show chassis powersupply

This command displays the status and type of the two power supplies, A and B.

The following example shows the output for the three commands previously described.

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

The ATM connections include:

  • Permanent virtual connection (PVC)

  • Permanent virtual path (PVP)


Permanent Virtual Connection

To monitor the ATM UNI permanent virtual connection (PVC) 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 <c.p> listvci

Where

<c.p> 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 <c.p> vci <vci#>

Where

<vci#> is the number of the VCI for which information displays.

The following text is an example of the display you see when you enter show port 8.0 vci 1000.

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 <c.p> listdlci

Where

<c.p> 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 connection by entering the following at the cli> prompt:


cli> show port <c.p> 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 4-24 shows an example of the display you see when you enter show port 10.7 dlci 141.

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
timer
timestamp
timeout
traplevel
debug
banner

The following is an example of the display you see when you enter show cli:

cli> show cli

Echo source: on
Line Edit: on
Logging: off
Terminal Type: vt100
Date/Time: Thu Jun 15 16:02:40 1995

Timestamp: off
Timer: 4 Hour(s) 37 Minute(s) 38 seconds
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> show collection 1
*** Collection 1 ***
Collection Status: Under Creation
Operational Status: Under Creation
Begin Time: 06/22/1995 08:02:43 EDT (06/22/1995 12:02:43 GMT)

Name: CollectDBObjectID.1.4 Value: ifInOctets.3003


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."

Step 2 Enter the following at the cli> prompt:


cli> show gid <parameter>

Where

<parameter> is all (default)
general
synchronization
cards
clients
neighbors
ports
ip

The following is an example of the display you see when you enter show gid all:

Monitoring ND

The neighborhood discovery (ND) process runs on every NP in an LS2020 network. It collects information about the local topology of the network, keeps track of the interface modules that are added to or removed from service, and determines which NP controls each interface module.

To monitor the status of the ND 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."

Step 2 Enter the following at the cli> prompt:


cli> show nd <parameter>

Where

<parameter> is all (default)
general
ndcards
neighbors
switchupdown
switchstat
client

The following is an example of the display you see when you enter show nd all:

If you enter any parameter except all, a subset of the attributes shown above is displayed.


Monitoring Processes

These steps let you monitor the status of a particular process. You select the process you want to monitor by entering its number or name.

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 If you do not know which processes are running, enter the following at the cli> prompt:


cli> walksnmp pidName

This command lists the process identification (pid) numbers and alias names of all processes running on this LS2020 switch. The pid numbers follow the term "Name: lwmaTrapCliAlias," and the alias names follow the term "Value."

The following is an example of the display you see when you enter walksnmp pidName:


cli> walksnmp pidName
Name: pidName.49 Value: ndd
Name: pidName.54 Value: lcmon
Name: pidName.55 Value: trapmon
Name: pidName.56 Value: watchdog
Name: pidName.57 Value: mma
Name: pidName.68 Value: sysinit
.
.
.

cli>

Step 3 Choose the processes that you want to monitor from this list.

Step 4 To display the status of a particular process, enter the following at the cli> prompt:


cli> show pid {<#>|<alias>} [<parameter>]

Where

{<#> | <alias>} is the number of the process or the alias name of the process from which you want to display status.

[<parameter>] is all (default)
name
clialias
createtime
adminstatus
operstatus
traplevel

The following is an example of the display you see when you enter show pid 9 all:

cli> show pid 71 all
PID Name:                       rmon
PID Alias:                      RMON
PID Up Time:                    121 Hr 43 Min 25 Sec
PID Administrative Status:      Active
PID Operation Status:           Active
PID Trap Level:                 Info
cli>


The same information displays when you enter show pid lcc9. (The lcc9 entry is the alias name for process 9.)

If you enter any parameter except all, a subset of these attributes displays.


Monitoring SNMP Parameters

SNMP operation is controlled by a number of parameters that are set to default values when the system is started. These parameters can be changed through use of the set snmp command. (See the "SNMP Commands" chapter for a discussion of this command.)

To monitor SNMP parameters, enter the show snmp command at the cli> prompt. The following is an example of the display you see when you enter show snmp:

cli> show snmp

Community: public
HostName:  localhost
cli>


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
2 --- 10 for line cards
SA and SB for switch cards


Note This command is not available on the SUN4 version of the CLI.

Table 4-7 describes <parameter1> and <parameter2>.
