1. The AlliedView Network Management System (NMS) The NMS provides a powerful client for managing a network. It presents the network and its devices in a user-friendly way, allowing you to quickly learn how the network is configured, how to reconfigure elements and how to spot problems before they degrade network performance. To set up the NMS product, you first need to install the NMS on a server.

2. Starting Up Refer to the AlliedView NMS Installation Guide for instructions on how to start up the AlliedView NMS server and client on Windows and Solaris platforms. 2.1 Password Configuration The NMS provides the option to configure your password once you have logged into the application client or the browser client for the first time. The Password Configuration dialog box appears by choosing the Tools -> Change Password menu item. Refer to the following figure.
Starting Up The Application Screen FIGURE 2-2 Console File Window 2.3 The Application Screen When you log in to the Application interface, the default screen that is displayed shows a map containing the map symbols that represent the discovered network devices. Refer to the following figure. You can find the common Menu Bar, Toolbar, Map Toolbar, AlliedView NMS Client Tree, Alarm Count Panel, Status Bar, and the AlliedView NMS Panel displayed in the user interface.
Starting Up Broadcasting a Message FIGURE 2-3 Initial Network Interface 2.4 Broadcasting a Message The option File -> Broadcast Message can be used to send messages to all the clients. When this option is selected, the message is sent to all the clients managed by the main AlliedView NMS Server by default. (The option chosen does not matter.) When this option is selected, a dialog that contains the following details pops up. Refer to the following figure.
Starting Up Restart / Shut Down the Server The following table lists the properties for broadcasting a message. TABLE 2-1 Properties for Broadcasting a Message Property Details for Broadcast Message Properties Message The message to be broadcast. Option Two message options. The option Send to my FE client only is not supported. The other option is Send to all clients. When this option is selected, the message is sent to all the clients that are managed by the main AlliedView NMS Back-End Server.
Starting Up Resource Management 2.6 Resource Management 2.6.1 Setting the Custom Security Policy (Required) This must be set for the server. • Find the java runtime environment (jre). It’s usually located in: :/Program Files/Java/jre* or use the Control Panel Java Plug-in tool “Advanced” tab to see the exact path of the java runtime. • Open the java.policy file in lib/security (under the jre path).
Starting Up Resource Management 2.6.3 Front-End Monitor Note: This applies to the distributed FE system available prior to 11.0. In the example above, there is the default client to BE configuration. This has the following information: • Resource Manager (in window title) - This is the server the client currently is connected to. (If the client is locally connected to the server this will be localhost.) • HostName - These are the servers currently deployed in the AlliedView NMS server configuration.
3. File Administration Many administrative tasks for the AlliedView NMS are done by adding, changing, and deleting files on the server. However, directly accessing these files should not be attempted, since a loss of AlliedView NMS functionality could result. The NMS provides GUI-based functions that make updating the AlliedView NMS files easy and less error-prone. Moreover, the server does not have to be restarted for the changes to take effect. However, a few tasks do involve restarting the server.

File Administration Discovery Configurator (Service Provider) 3.1.1 Schedule Tab FIGURE 3-1 Discovery Configurator – Schedule Tab The Schedule tab allows configuring the rediscovery time, the time all managed devices in networks included for discovery in the Network Discovery tab will be rediscovered to update the NMS database with any changes, including the addition of new devices. Devices in the Node Discovery tab will not be rediscovered.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (Service Provider) 3.1.2 SNMP Tab FIGURE 3-3 Discovery Configurator – SNMP Tab Only devices that respond to SNMP can be discovered and managed by the AlliedView NMS. The NMS will perform “SNMP Ping” operations with each of the given read communities until a device responds or all communities have been tried and failed. (SNMP Pings are essentially SNMP get requests for selected system variables.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (Service Provider) Communities will be attempted in the order displayed. The order may be modified by selecting a row and then clicking on the up/down buttons. Communities may be added, modified, or deleted with the Add, Modify or Delete Buttons. The Add button will add to the list whatever is in the Read or Write text field. The Modify button will replace whatever is in the selected row with whatever has been typed in the Read or Write text field.

Click the up ( ) or down ( )arrow below the list to change the location of the credential in the list. 3.1.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (Service Provider) FIGURE 3-5 Discovery Configurator – CLI Logins Tab Once a device has been discovered by SNMP, more detailed discovery requiring a CLI login is required to manage the device. The NMS attempts to log into each device until it either discovers an accepted login or all login attempts are rejected. The login sequence generally follows the order of the logins in the table.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (Service Provider) The Description field is a free format reminder of what each login entry represents. There are 2 login types: User and Security Officer, which are specified by the radio buttons. The “user” type uses the User Id and Password to initially log into the device. User login is all that’s required for iMAPs running without TACPLUS. If an iMAP is running with TACPLUS enabled, the NMS also needs a Security Officer passcode (to enable securityofficer).
File Administration Discovery Configurator (Service Provider) 3.1.5 Network Discovery Tab FIGURE 3-6 Discovery Configurator – Network Discovery Tab This tab specifies networks to discover (or exclude from discovery). The discovery process will attempt to discover devices at all IP addresses in the network (or exclude all such addresses if configured for exclusion). Networks can be added, modified, or deleted with the Add, Modify, and Delete buttons.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (Service Provider) The “Entire Network” radio button, when selected means to use all addresses in the network, specified by the IP Address and Net Mask fields. When “Set of Nodes” is selected instead, only the addresses from the Start IP to the End IP will be discovered.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (Service Provider) 3.1.6 Node Discovery Tab FIGURE 3-8 Discovery Configurator – Node Discovery Tab. This tab specifies specific nodes to discover (or exclude from discovery). Nodes can be added, modified, or deleted with the Add, Modify, and Delete buttons. The “Discover Node” toggle, when checked, means to discover the node. When unchecked, that node will be ignored (excluded) from discovery.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (Service Provider) FIGURE 3-9 Setting Properties for SNMPv3 The user can add networks and nodes in the Network Inventory screen as Managed Objects and this will take effect immediately. The menu choice: • Network Inventory / Edit -> Add Network • Network Inventory / Edit -> Add Node brings up the dialog to add a network or node. Refer to 3.3.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (Service Provider) 3.1.7 Other Discovery Tab FIGURE 3-10 Discovery Configurator – Other Discovery Tab This tab lists sysOIDs (SNMP system Object Identifiers) of devices to be included for discovery. Any device discovered by way of SNMP will be rejected unless its sysOID is one of these from this table. The defaults for this table are the Allied Telesis devices fully-supported by the AlliedView NMS.

File Administration Discovery Configurator (EE) 3.2 Discovery Configurator (EE) 3.2.1 Overview The Discovery Configurator has the following features: 1. The GUI allows enabling/disabling of Discovery. 2. ICMP Discovery (using Ping) can be configured, and SNMP Discovery is optional. 3. The local network can be discovered using a simple option. 4. Rediscovery can be disabled. 5. DHCP support is provided. 6. There is no sysOID filtering.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (EE) Options for the Basic tab are: • Enable Discovery -The default is checked; if not checked, Discovery will not be performed. • Discover Local Network - The default is not checked; if checked, nodes from the local network (where the NMS resides) are discovered. • Rediscover Already Discovered Nodes - If checked (the default), nodes already discovered are rediscovered based on the rediscovery interval that has been set.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (EE) 3.2.3 SNMP Tabs Refer to the following figure. FIGURE 3-13 SNMP - EE Version SNMP discovery can be enabled or disabled. If disabled, the rest of this tab is grayed-out. If enabled, the NMS will use this configuration during network discovery to test IP addresses for the presence of SNMP-enabled devices.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (EE) 3.2.3.1 SNMPv2 For most devices, only read communities are used during discovery. Some devices, including iMG/RGs, require discovering write communities as well. Communities will be attempted in the order displayed. The order may be modified by selecting a row and then clicking on the up/down buttons. Communities may be added, modified, or deleted with the Add, Modify or Delete Buttons.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (EE) 3.2.5 CLI Logins Tab Refer to the following figure.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (EE) Status polling via ICMP or SNMP does not require CLI access; CLI discovery is only required when device configuration (backups, port management, VLAN management, etc.) is desired and is only applicable to fully-supported devices (refer to Section 1). Once a device has been discovered by way of SNMP, more detailed discovery requiring a CLI login is required to manage the device.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (EE) 3.2.6 Network Discovery Tab FIGURE 3-15 Network Discovery Tab - EE Version This tab specifies networks to discover (or exclude from discovery). The discovery process will attempt to discover devices at all IP addresses in the network (or exclude all such addresses if configured for exclusion). Networks can be added, modified, or deleted with the Add, Modify, and Delete buttons.
File Administration Discovery Configurator (EE) When “Set of Nodes” is selected, the DHCP option becomes available. Use this option if IP addresses are assigned dynamically. The NMS will then use MAC addresses to identify hosts rather than IP addresses or host names. If SNMP discovery is enabled, network discovery will normally use the parameters configured on the SNMP tab, but they can be overridden for specific networks and subnets by selecting the SNMP option on this tab.
File Administration Adding a Network or Node from the Network Inventory This tab specifies specific nodes to discover (or exclude from discovery). Nodes can be added, modified, or deleted with the Add, Modify, and Delete buttons. The “Discover Node” toggle, when checked, means to discover the node. When unchecked, that node will be ignored (excluded) from discovery. The “Discover Parent Network” tab means to discover all the devices in the parent network as well.

Security Administration NMS RADIUS Client Support 4.8 NMS RADIUS Client Support 4.8.1 Overview Starting in NMS Release 11.0 SP5, RADIUS Authentication for NMS user logins is supported. Prior to this feature, NMS supported devices that used RADIUS/TACACS (see 4.7), but NMS user ids were not authenticated via these methods. With this feature, an open source RADIUS client is integrated into the NMS server, using a central RADIUS server on the customer’s network.
Security Administration NMS RADIUS Client Support FIGURE 5 Overview - NMS Server with RADIUS Client 4.8.2 RADIUS Configurator Tool (with Valid License) Once this feature is installed the login procedure is transparent; the client interface is the same with or without RADIUS authentication. The main change to the NMS server is the addition of the AT_ConfigureRadius tool, which can be launched as follows: 1. On Windows, double-clicking AT_ConfigureRadius.bat in the \bin directory. 2.
Security Administration NMS RADIUS Client Support FIGURE 4-1 Error Message for Invalid License The purpose of this tool is to configure the NMS server as a RADIUS client-that is, enable/disable RADIUS authentication and create a list of server contact information (address and port) and shared secrets to be used during authentication when enabled. The shared secret is an encryption key stored separately on both platforms (RADIUS server and RADIUS client) and is never transmitted over the network. 4.8.2.
Security Administration NMS RADIUS Client Support Servers can be added via the fields on the lower part of the display.
Security Administration NMS RADIUS Client Support Multiple servers can be added. Servers can be designated by IP addresses or valid host names. During login, the authentication process will try each server in the order displayed, from top to bottom, until one server accepts the authentication request or all servers have rejected it. The order can be changed with the arrow buttons. Note that: • The Add button will not allow adding a server that already exists in the table.
Security Administration NMS RADIUS Client Support Whereas only one server may be added at a time and only one may be modified at a time, multiple servers may be deleted by selecting multiple rows and clicking on the Delete button. FIGURE 8 RADIUS Configurator - Deleting Servers Changes are not saved until either the OK or Apply button is selected. Note: When activating the NMS client, set the Status to ‘On’ before selecting OK or Apply.

Security Administration NMS RADIUS Client Support 4.8.3 Example Configurations 4.8.3.1 Overview The following examples go through setting up of the NMS RADIUS Client Support and include inputs at both the RADIUS and NMS servers. Regardless of the platform used (FreeRadius or Cisco Secure ACS), there are four main steps. The first three are for configuring the RADIUS server: 1. Identify the Vendor Specific Attribute (VSA) that names the permission groups 2.
Security Administration NMS RADIUS Client Support 4.8.3.2 FreeRadius Example FreeRadius is a free RADIUS server and is installed on 10.52.18.79. Note: Downloads and documentation are available at http://freeradius.org/. To configure for the NMS, begin with cd to /usr/local/etc/raddb and perform the following steps: Note: For the account Keith_K, the password being defined on RADIUS is different than the password assigned when it had been created on the NMS.
Security Administration NMS RADIUS Client Support FIGURE 4-1 Configuring NMS as RADIUS Client 4.8.3.3 Cisco Secure ACS Example Cisco Secure ACS is a widely-used fee-based RADIUS and TACAC server available from http://www.cisco.com. It comes in platform-specific versions, including various Windows versions. Note: The NMS is the RADIUS client, which is known as the NAS in the RFC, and is called the AAA Client in Cisco terminology.
Security Administration 3. NMS RADIUS Client Support 1. Use CSUtil.exe -addUDV c:\ACS_Data\allied-telesis.ini to import the VSA file. 2. Use the Web interface to configure the AAA client (the NMS) and Users with the VSA: 3. Use “Interface Configuration” to enable RADIUS (Allied-Telesis) for Users. 4. Use “Network Configuration” to set authentication for the AAA client using RADIUS (Allied-Telesis) Add users and permission groups. 1.
Security Administration Note: NMS RADIUS Client Support To make these changes, the RADIUS server may need to be restarted. Refer to the appropriate documentation. However, once the RADIUS NMS client feature has been set up, the following scenarios could occur: • The customer could de-activate the RADIUS NMS client through the RADIUS Configurator tool. • The RADIUS server(s), while configured and activated, might not be available. Refer to 4.8.4.1. 4.8.4.

Provisioning the iMG/RG Provisioning Strategy which identifies a specific Access Island. This, along with the VLAN IDs and Vendor-Class ID, determine which layer 3 subnets should be used for a specific subscriber. This is explained in detail in 7.2.6.2. For all of the iMG/RGs within a specific voice subnet, there must be a DNS entry with a structured name.

Provisioning the iMG/RG Provisioning Strategy FIGURE 7-8 DHCP Discovery - Bootstrap VLAN 1. The RG powers up and sends a DHCP discover message over the untagged VLAN for its port. 2. The iMAP adds the Remote ID, slot.port, and VID information to the circuit ID and forwards the DHCP discover message to the DHCP server over the inband iMAP Management interface. (Neither the RG nor the end user devices need unicast access to the DHCP server as the iMAP is the proxy relay for them.
Provisioning the iMG/RG Provisioning Strategy FIGURE 7-9 DHCP Discovery - Management VLAN 6. The DHCP server provides the new IP address. 7. The AlliedView NMS uses DHCP Listener to discover the RG (its IP, and Circuit ID attributes such as MAC) in the RGMgmt VLAN. 8. The AlliedView NMS telnets to the RG, and using CLI it configures the RG and saves this to FLASH on the RG. 9. The user should then connect the LAN devices.
Provisioning the iMG/RG Provisioning Strategy Before VoIP can work, the following must have already been done, or voice service will not work: 1. Profiles have been filled out correctly to support voice service. In particular, in the Voice profile for the RG, the voice domain name must be filled out, and the voice VLAN that is filled in for the RG General profile has already been created. Also, the route to the Genband must be filled out in the RG General Profile if the Genband is on a separate subnet.
Provisioning the iMG/RG Provisioning Strategy 1. The AlliedView NMS puts together the FQDN for the RG voice interface (i.e. rgvoip-.domain) and the port of the iMAP (as _slot.port). The AlliedView NMS also adds the line entries that were filled out in the Triple-Play form. 2. The AlliedView NMS configures each voice line that has been set up for the RG (creates the voice VLAN, creates the voice IP interface, enables DHCP) 3.
Provisioning the iMG/RG Viewing iMG/RG on the AlliedView NMS To change the customerID, the administrator must change the customerID for all three types; this is done by changing the CustomerID for all three areas on the Triple-Play Service Management form. Refer to 6.15.4 and 7.10.10. 7.3 Viewing iMG/RG on the AlliedView NMS Once the iMG/RGs have been provisioned, they can be viewed in various ways that allow the administrator to track their configuration and their status.

12. Northbound Interface 12.1 Overview A northbound interface on an NMS/EMS allows other software applications (higher level network management systems) to communicate with (or manage) the lower level NMS without the user acting on the lower level NMS directly.
Northbound Interface TABLE 12-1 SOAP Implementation Northbound Interface APIs for Release 10.0 Capability Detail Autonomous events configuration for clients allow clients to receive network events from the NMS immediately without the need for the client to poll the NMS every time.
Northbound Interface SOAP Implementation Note: Axis 1 (1.4) does not support callback operations and is considered slower compared to other technologies such as CORBA because it uses HTTP as the protocol and text (XML) data. Axis 2 (currently in beta version) is expected to be an improvement of its predecessor. Note: With a standard northbound interface, the higher level NMS would not have to implement different clients to communicate with NMS/EMS from different vendors.
