Basic Dial NMS Implementation Guide
Performance
management
SNMP—For the initial installation, use MRTG to monitor key Object
Identifications (OIDs) in the device MIBs. In the future, use commercial
software applications that collect mass scale management data streams for
large numbers of access servers.
CLI—Monitor the performance of the access servers. For example, use the
following commands:
`
show modem operational-status
`
show modem connect-speeds
`
show modem summary
`
show modem call-stats
Web-based management—Navigate devices and enable HTTP access to
the CLI.
War Dialer—Test remote client PCs by using a free client simulator.
Security
management
Authenticate, authorize, and account for dial access clients (modem users)
in each POP by using RADIUS.
Authenticate, authorize, and account for router administrators in the NOC
by using TACACS+.
Review the AAA service security logs.
Review the AAA server database by using SQL queries.
CLI—Inspect security information. For example, use the following
commands:
`
show snmp group
`
show access-lists
`
show location
`
show tacacs
`
show radius statistics
`
show logging
Web-based management—Navigate devices and enable HTTP access to
the CLI.
