Chapter 4: Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch Management
4. Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch Management
This chapter explains the methods that you can use to configure management
access to the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch. It describes the types of
management applications and the communication and management protocols
that deliver data between your management device (workstation or personal
computer) and the system. It also contains information about port connection
options.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Management Access Overview
• Key Concepts
• Key Guidelines for Implementation
• Web Management Access
• Administration Console Access
• SNMP Access
• Standards, Protocols, and Related Reading
4.1 Management Access Overview
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch gives you the flexibility to access and
manage the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch.
The Web browser interface and administration console (CLI) support are
embedded in the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch software and are available
for immediate use.
4.2 Administration Console (CLI)
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, Command Line
Interface (CLI) for performing system administration such as displaying statistics or
changing option settings.
Using this method, you can view the administration console from a terminal,
personal computer, Apple® Macintosh®, or workstation connected to the
Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch’s console port.
There are two ways to use this management method: direct access or modem
access. The following sections describe these methods.
Page 31

LB308A
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 4: Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch Management
4.2.1 Direct Access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a
terminal or a PC equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as
HyperTerminal) to the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch console port.
When using the management method, configure the terminal-emulation program
to use the following parameters (you can change these settings after login):
Default parameters:
• 115,200 bps
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
This management method is often preferred because you can remain connected
and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are
sent to the serial port, regardless of the interface through which the associated
action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any terminal-
emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation
attachment under UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP.
4.2.2 Modem Access
You can access the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch’s administration console
from a PC or Macintosh using an external modem attached to the console port.
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch management program provides a
Console Port screen, accessible from the Basic Management screen that lets you
configure parameters for modem access.
When you have configured the external modem from the administration console,
the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch transmits characters that you have
entered as output on the modem port. The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch
echoes characters that it receives as input on the modem port to the current
administration console session. The console appears to be directly connected to
the external modem.
4.3 Web Management
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch provides a browser interface that lets you
configure and manage the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch remotely.

Chapter 4: Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch Management
After you set up your IP address for the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch, you
can access the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch’s Web interface applications
directly in your Web browser by entering the IP address of the Hardened Ethernet
Extender Switch. You can then use your Web browser to list and manage
Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch configuration parameters from one central
location, just as if you were directly connected to the Hardened Ethernet Extender
Switch’s console port.
4.4 SNMP-Based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the
Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch. This management method requires the SNMP
agent on the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch and the SNMP Network
Management Station to use the same community string. This management meth-
od uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community
string. If the SNMP Network management station only knows the set community
string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get com-
munity string, it can only read MIBs.
NOTE: The default get and set community strings for the Hardened Ethernet
Extender Switch are public.
4.5 Protocols
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch supports the following protocols:
Virtual Terminal Protocols, such as Telnet
A virtual terminal protocol is a software program, such as Telnet, that allows you
to establish a management session from a Macintosh, a PC, or a UNIX worksta-
tion. Because Telnet runs over TCP/IP, you must have at least one IP address con-
figured on the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch before you can establish access
to it with a virtual terminal protocol.
NOTE: Terminal emulation is different from a virtual terminal protocol. In
emulation, you must connect a terminal directly to the console port,
but a virtual terminal protocol does not require direct connection.

Chapter 4: Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch Management
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMP is the standard management protocol for multivendor IP networks. SNMP
supports transaction-based queries that allow the protocol to format messages
and to transmit information between reporting devices and data-collection
programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), offering a
connectionless-mode service.
4.6 Management Architecture
All the management application modules use the same Messaging Application
Programming Interface (MAPI). By unifying management methods with a single
MAPI, configuration parameters set using one method (for example, console port)
are immediately displayed the other management methods (for example, SNMP
agent of the Web browser).
The management architecture of the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch adheres
to the IEEE open standard. This compliance ensures customers that the Hardened
Ethernet Extender Switch is compatible with, and will interoperate with other
solutions that adhere to the same open standard.

Chapter 5: Web-Based Browser Management
5. Web-Based Browser Management
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch provides a Web-based browser interface
for configuring and managing the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch. This
interface allows you to access the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch using a
preferred Web browser.
This chapter describes how to configure the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch
using its Web-based browser interface.
5.1 SNMP and RMON Management
This chapter describes the Hardened Ethernet Extender SNMP and RMON
capabilities.
5.1.1 Overview
RMON is an abbreviation for the Remote Monitoring MIB (Management
Information Base). RMON is a system defined by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) Document RFC 2819, which defines how networks can be monitored
remotely.
RMONs typically consist of two components: an RMON probe and a management
workstation:
• The RMON probe is an intelligent device or software agent that continually
collects statistics about a LAN segment or VLAN. The RMON probe transfers the
collected data to a management workstation on request or when a predefined
threshold is reached.
• The management workstation collects the statistics that the RMON probe
gathers. The workstation can reside on the same network as the probe, or it
can have an in-band or out-of-band connection to the probe.
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch provides RMON capabilities that allow
network administrators to set parameters and view statistical counters defined in
MIB-II, Bridge MIB, and RMON MIB. RMON activities are performed at a Network
Management Station running an SNMP network management application with
graphical user interface.
5.1.2 SNMP Agent and MIB-2 (RFC 1213)
The SNMP Agent running on the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch manager
CPU is responsible for:
• Retrieving MIB counters from various layers of software modules according to
the SNMP GET/GET NEXT frame messages.
Page 35
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
LB308A
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 5: Web-Based Browser Management
• Setting MIB variables according to the SNMP SET frame message.
• Generating an SNMP TRAP frame message to the Network Management
Station if the threshold of a certain MIB counter is reached or if other trap
conditions (such as the following) are met:
WARM START
COLD START
LINK UP
LINK DOWN
AUTHENTICATION FAILURE
RISING ALARM
FALLING ALARM
TOPOLOGY ALARM
MIB-II defines a set of manageable objects in various layers of the TCP/IP protocol
suites. MIB-II covers all manageable objects from Layer 1 to Layer 4, and, as a
result, is the major SNMP MIB supported by all vendors in the networking
industry. The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch supports a complete
implementation of SNMP Agent and MIB-II.
5.1.3 RMON MIB (RFC 2819) and Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch provides hardware-based RMON counters
in the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch chipset. The Hardened Ethernet
Extender Switch manager CPU polls these counters periodically to collect the
statistics in a format that complies with the RMON MIB definition.
RMON Groups Supported
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch supports the following RMON MIB
groups defined in RFC 2819:
• RMON Statistics Group— maintains use and error statistics for the Hardened
Ethernet Extender Switch port being monitored.
• RMON History Group—gathers and stores periodic statistical samples from the
previous Statistics Group.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 5: Web-Based Browser Management
• RMON Alarm Group—allows a network administrator to define alarm thresh-
olds for any MIB variable. An alarm can be associated with low threshold, high
threshold, or both. A trigger can trigger an alarm when the value of a specific
MIB variable exceeds a threshold, falls below a threshold, or exceeds or falls
below a threshold.
• RMON Event Group—allows a network administrator to define actions based
on alarms. SNMP traps are generated when RMON alarms are triggered. The
action taken in the network management station depends on the specific
network management application.
Bridge Groups Supported
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch supports the following four groups of
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493):
• The dot1dBase Group—a mandatory group that contains the objects applicable
to all types of bridges.
• The dot1dStp Group—contains objects that denote the bridge’s state with
respect to the Spanning Tree Protocol. If a node does not implement the
Spanning Tree Protocol, this group will not be implemented. This group is
applicable to any transparent only, source route, or SRT bridge that implements
the Spanning Tree Protocol.
• The dot1dTp Group—contains objects that describe the entity’s transparent
bridging status. This group is applicable to transparent operation only and SRT
bridges.
• The dot1dStatic Group—contains objects that describe the entity’s destination-
address filtering status. This group is applicable to any type of bridge that
performs destination-address filtering.
5.2 Web-Based Management
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch provides a Web-based browser interface
for configuring and managing the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch. This
interface enables you to access the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch using a
preferred web browser.
This chapter describes how to configure the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch
using its Web-based browser interface.

IGMP passive snooping:
1. Report suppression: Click on the “report suppression” drop-down menu from
“report suppression” drop-down list to choose “Enable” or “Disable” for the
Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch. Use this command to enable report sup-
pression for IGMP version 1 and version 2. Report suppression does not apply
to IGMP version 3, and is turned off by default for IGMP version 1 and IGMP
version 2 reports. The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch uses IGMP report
suppression to forward only one IGMP report per multicast router query to
multicast devices. When IGMP router suppression is enabled, the Hardened
Ethernet Extender Switch sends the first IGMP report from all hosts for a group
to all the multicast routers. The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch does not
send the remaining IGMP reports for the group to the multicast routers. This
feature prevents duplicate reports from being sent to the multicast devices.

6. Command Line Console Management
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch provides a command line console inter-
face for configuration purposes. The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch can be
configured either locally through its RS-232 port or remotely via a Telnet session.
For the latter, you must specify an IP address for the Hardened Ethernet Extender
Switch first.
This chapter describes how to configure the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch
using its console by Command Line.
6.1 Administration Console
Connect the DB9 straight cable to the RS-232 serial port of the device to the
RS-232 serial port of the terminal or computer running the terminal emulation
application.
To gain direct access to the administration console, directly connect a terminal or
a PC equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the
Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch console port.
When using the management method, configure the terminal-emulation program
to use the following parameters (you can change these settings after login):
[Default parameters]
115,200bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit

Chapter 6: Command Line Console Management
2. Usage:
Use this command to set the port priority for a bridge group. The Multiple
Spanning Tree Protocol uses port priority as a tiebreaker to determine which port
should forward frames for a particular instance on a LAN, or which port should
be the root port for an instance. A lower value implies a better priority. In the case
of the same priority, the interface index will serve as the tiebreaker, with the low-
er-numbered interface being preferred over others. The permitted range is 0-240.
The priority values can only be set in increments of 16.
3. Command Syntax:
bridge GROUP instance INSTANCE_ID priority PRIORITY
GROUP <1-1> Specify the bridge-group ID.
