C H A P T E R 10 Network Configurator This chapter describes the CWM Network Configurator desktop application. The Network Configurator is a new Java-based application for Release 10 of CWM that enables users to add new nodes, or modify or delete existing nodes. It is also used to provide descriptor information, node name, and IP address information for the nodes in your network. Note Every time a new session of the Network Configurator is started, you must edit the Topod.
Chapter 10 Network Configurator How to Start the Configurator The Network Configurator validates the new node by ensuring its IP address and unique node name. The node will be displayed in the Network Configurator main window if the node information is valid. Step 8 Select close from the Node Dialog pull down menu, located in the upper left hand corner of the window. Step 9 Select File, then Save from the Network Configurator Window.
Chapter 10 Network Configurator Community String Configuration Step 10 Select File, then Save from the Network Configurator window. Note Changes made using the Network Configurator are not saved in the node_info table of the database until you press the Save button. If the Exit button is pressed, no changes will be made to the node_info table. The new node information is updated on the expanded node tree of the Network Configurator window.
Chapter 10 Network Configurator Community String Configuration Since users have to configure the community strings on both the devices (via CLI), and at the CWM stations (via Configurator), there is a possibility of typing in mismatched community strings. This would result in the node with the mismatched community strings appearing to be un-reachable to CWM. Note Add, modify and delete can only be done from the Primary CWM.
C H A P T E R 11 CWM to CWM Communications Release 10 of Cisco WAN Manager has been designed to enable multiple CWM workstations to manage a network with improved network synchronization and scalability. Due to the size and growth of networks, it is faster to retrieve initial user data from another CWM workstation that is already running and synchronized with the network.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications CWMGateway Process CWMGateway Process The CWMGateway process provides a communications gateway for CMW workstations. Processes owned by one CWM workstation can communicate with processes owned by another CWM workstation using the CWMGateway process. CWM workstations within the same CWM domain communicate with other CWM workstations by transferring information between the CWMGateway processes of each CWM workstation.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Establishing Primary CWM and Secondary CWM Priority Establishing Primary CWM and Secondary CWM Priority In a given wide area network managed by Release 10 of CWM, the first CWM workstation to begin operation will assume the role of Primary CWM. As other CWM workstations become active, they will take on Secondary CWM workstation roles.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Configuring CWM-CWM Communications to take over as the new primary. The Secondary CWMGateway with priority number 1 (SP1) will now take over as the new Primary, and any remaining CWMGateways will subsequently register with the new Primary CWM. The new CWMGateway priority numbers will be based on “first-come-first-serve” logic. Note If the Primary CWM is not shut down gracefully, then the Secondary CWM could go into degrade mode.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Configuring CWM-CWM Communications • Note • DomainGatewayList—a list of remote gateways or the other CWM workstations that are part of this CWM domain. These workstations are either running Release 10 of CWM or will be at some point in the future. There must be IP connectivity between all of the CWM workstations listed.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Degrade Mode Degrade Mode The user is able to continue the provisioning of network data, even when communications between a Primary CWM and Secondary CWM have been interrupted. If for any reason the communications between CWM servers are interrupted, user data provisioning will be suspended on the Secondary CWM, but user data provisioning will continue on the Primary CWM. During that time, the provisioning of user data and monitoring of the network are not impacted.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Recovering From Degrade Mode Note An Abnormal Exit happens when a CWM Gateway process is stopped through a non-graceful shutdown. This includes when a process has been stopped with a process core dump command, but does not include a power down.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Recovering From Degrade Mode The above DomainGatewayList, for example, would need to be edited to show that the downed Primary (cwmws1) has been removed from all the other CWM’s DomainGatewayLists in the CWMGateway.conf file.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Recovering From Degrade Mode Step 11 Repeat steps 7-10 above to include any additional Secondary CWMs in the new domain. The DomainGatewayList on all of the Secondary CWMs must match the final DomainGatewayList on the Primary CWM. This list will include the new Primary and all new Secondaries in the new domain.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Recovering From Degrade Mode ForcedSwitchOver HeartBeatInterval 20 Step 2 Manually remove all the other CWMs from the downed Primary’s DomainGatewayList in the CWMGateway.conf file The following is an example of the downed Primary’s DomainGatewayList.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Recovering From Degrade Mode The CWM Workstation Crashed or was Powered-off (Disaster Recovery) Note A CWM W/S crash includes a power down, power failure, or disk crash. – To recover from this degraded mode of operation follow these steps: Step 1 Use the kill command (-9) on the CWMGateway process on the Secondary CWMs, after a successful re-start of the Primary CWM. Step 2 The CWMGateway process will then be re-started by Watchdog within seconds.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Recovering From Degrade Mode The following is an example of the downed Primary’s DomainGatewayList. Remove all Secondary CWMs from the downed Primary’s DomainGatewayList leaving the Primary cwmws1 in its own domain: Debug level 2 DomainGatewayList cwmws1 ForcedSwitchOver HeartBeatInterval 20 Step 3 Stop the core on the downed Primary CWM (to prevent communication with the Secondary CWMs while the Primary is down and isolated).
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Recovering From Degrade Mode – To recover from this degraded mode of operation, re-establish IP connectivity on the Primary CWM and the Secondary CWM will automatically re-sync user data tables with the Primary CWM. – If you can’t re-establish IP connectivity on the Primary, then eliminate the downed Primary from the CWM domain by following these steps: Step 1 Manually remove the downed Primary from the Secondary CWM’s DomainGatewayList in the CWMGateway.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Recovering From Degrade Mode Debug level 2 DomainGatewayList cwmws3 ForcedSwitchOver HeartBeatInterval 20 Step 8 Start the core on the new Primary CWM (in this example it would be cwmws3). Step 9 Stop the core on the original Secondary CWM (in this example it would be cwmws2). Step 10 Edit the original Secondary CWM’s DomainGatewayList so that it includes itself and the new Primary CWM.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Review of Warm and Cold Start of CWM Review of Warm and Cold Start of CWM Performing a Warm Start of CWM A warm start of CWM consists of stopping the application, then restarting it. A warm start of CWM is used without initializing the database, and can aid in overcoming database inconsistencies without losing data. When you perform a warm start of CWM, the application continues to use data in the existing Informix database.
Chapter 11 CWM to CWM Communications Limitations for CWM to CWM Communications It might take several minutes for all of the processes and messages to end, depending upon the number of nodes in the network. Step 3 Press Return to redisplay the CWM main menu. Step 4 From the main menu, enter x to exit the CWM application. Step 5 Enter create_db, or coldstart -F or Sv+CreateDb -F.

A P P E N D I X A Internet Connectivity This appendix provides information about how to achieve efficient internet connectivity for your Release 10 of CWM network management station for SVC connections and PNNI links. Figure A-1 shows a typical network configuration for a workstation running Release 10 of CWM. Figure A-1 Typical Network Application MGX 8850 A 172.29.24.191 MGX 8850 D 172.29.24.117 CWM 10.1 9:1.1:1 6:1.1:1 SVC SVC CWM RTR-1 172.29.23.118 OC 12 OC 3 SVC SVC OC 3 9:1.1:1 11:1.
Appendix A Internet Connectivity Functional Description The typical and most likely configuration will include the following: • MGX 8850 Release 2 with external Cisco 7000 family or Cisco 4500 series router connected to AXSM port, or MGX 8850 Release 2 with internal RPM card to support Cisco 7200 router. • Cisco router supports ATM interface with LLC encapsulation and ATMARP protocol service, RIP protocol and ILMI protocol.
Appendix A Internet Connectivity Functional Description ability of transferring data between the ATM SAR and the IP stack. This custom interface will be assigned a unique IP address and will have the ability of creating and deleting IP host-routes that use the interface. The custom interface will support IP over ATM as described in RFC1483. It will also be an ATMARP client as described by RFC1577.
Appendix A Internet Connectivity Functional Description Also, router configuration allows the router to route packets from the IPATM interface SVC to a IP host that wishes to manage or access the MGX 8850 Release 2 using TCP/IP clients. This configuration can be separated into two distinct parts: • The first part involves the configuration needed to interface with the IPATM interface(s) using an SVC.
Appendix A Internet Connectivity Functional Description IP Host Once the IPATM interface on every MGX 8850 Release 2 is hooked to the IP layer of VxWorks TCP/IP stack and every SVC has been established between IPATM interface and routers, full connectivity will exist between all MGX 8850 Release 2 nodes through all routers. This communication path has also been relayed to the IP host/workstation using a routing protocol such as RIP.
Appendix A Internet Connectivity SVC Connections specifies which SVC on the router should be used. The ATM interface on the router, if using LLC encapsulation as described in RFC1483, prefixes the data with a header that specifies to the remote end of the SVC that the data is encapsulated IP data. The router then transmits the data onto the SVC. The encapsulated IP data is received by the MGX 8850 Release 2 IPATM interface on one of its router SVCs.
Appendix A Internet Connectivity SVC Connections Sample Configuration One The first sample configuration provides the following features: • Routers support ATMARP and LLC Snap encapsulation • Routers support ILMI protocol and RIP protocol • IP Subnet routing used for IP Connectivity network • PNNI extension not supported for discovering router AESA • Workstations supports RIP protocol MGX 8850 Configuration The following MGX 8850 Release 2 configuration is required: Step 1 Configure IP address
Appendix A Internet Connectivity SVC Connections Sample Configuration 2 The first sample configuration provides the following features: • Routers do not support ATMARP • Routers support VC Based Multiplexing encapsulation • Routers do not support ILMI • Routers support RIP protocol • IP Host routing used for IP Connectivity network • PNNI extension not supported for discovering router AESA • CWM Workstation does not support RIP protocol MGX 8850 Configuration The following MGX 8850 Release
Appendix A Internet Connectivity PNNI Link Step 5 Manually configure mapping for MGX 8850 Release 2: map-list atm ip 172.29.24.190 atm-nsap 47.0091.8100.0000.1010.1010.1010.1010.1010.1010.10 Step 6 Manually set up IP route table entries for MGX 8850 Release 2: ip route 172.29.24.190 255.255.255.0 172.29.23.
Appendix A Internet Connectivity PNNI Link Note The value of 160 defines the length of the AESA address. Step 4 If the port is not displayed, then you may need to add the PNNI controller. Please refer to the MGX 8850 Release 2 documentation at the following URL for more information: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wanbu/8850r2/index.htm Note You can issue the dspsvcif command to check configuration. Currently, SVCs for in-band management are of UBR CoS.
