Controlling and Provisioning Network Devices Card Management
227
AlliedView NMS Administration Guide
In Automatic Provisioning Mode, when hardware is discovered in a slot where there is no prior provisioning, the cards and
ports are automatically provisioned. This discovery occurs when:
• The card is inserted into a slot
• The card is already inserted and the device reboots
• The system mode is changed from manual to automatic
Note: The default mode for the iMAP devices is Automatic Provisioning Mode, and the mode can be changed through the Card
Details screen.
A profile is a template that contains the provisioning data. There is one only one profile, called AUTOPROV (for Auto-
provisioning), which contains at first the factory defaults, but any or all attributes can be changed. This is the profile used for
the Auto Provisioning Mode.
When the system is first initialized, the system’s PROVMODE is set to AUTO. Profiles can then be created, viewed, and set.
Note: Modification of a profile does not change the attributes of a card/port that has already been provisioned.
Administrative and Operational States determine whether the card or port is available for service and if so whether service
is being provided;
• The Administrative State is controlled by the user and can be set to either UP (available for service) or DOWN (Not
available for service). Control of this state is through the Create Card window.
• The Operational State is either UP (providing service) or DOWN (not providing service). This state is not user
controllable but does depend on the Administrative State:
• If the Administrative State of a card is UP, the Operational State will be UP if the card/port can provide service.
• If the Administrative State is DOWN, the Operational State will always be DOWN.
Note: The one exception to these rules is the FC7 and FM7, which are always in an operational state of UP.
5.5.24 Power Over Ethernet (POE) Management on SBx3100
To monitor the actual power usage of the POE cards on the SBx3112, there is a menu item in the physical device pull-down,
as shown in the following figure.
FIGURE 5-115 SBx3112 Pull-down for POE Management
This will launch a separate NMS window that will show the overall power settings for the shelf. This window will show each
POE card and how much power is allocated to it, requested by it, and the actual usage. In this way the customer can manage
the power distribution across the cards. Refer to the following figure.
