C H A P T E R 1 Cisco MGM Orientation The Cisco Media Gateway Manager (Cisco MGM) can deploy, configure, and manage a group of Release 1.2 Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateways in one or more Points of Presence (POP).
Chapter 1 Cisco MGM Orientation Management Features Management Features Cisco MGM implements fault, configuration, performance, and security features. Fault Management Using Cisco MGM, you can monitor the network for faults and clear alarms. The system handles alarms and events as follows: • Displays alarm and events on a color-coded topology map. • Forwards traps to remote SNMP managers. • Optionally, propagates alarms to higher-level managers.
Chapter 1 Cisco MGM Orientation Cisco MGM Architecture Security Management Cisco MGM security uses the mechanisms of Cisco EMF, which authenticates users based on names and passwords. When using the Cisco WebViewer or CLI management interfaces, the Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway also authenticates users based on Cisco MGX 8260 user accounts. Both systems support security profiles that define access rights for typical users, from administrators to guests.
Chapter 1 Cisco MGM Orientation Management Tasks by Interface with Cisco MGX 8260 nodes using SNMPv1 and TFTP protocols; the Cisco WebViewer uses a standard web browser, such as Netscape for Solaris, that communicates with the HTTP server in each Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway. In addition, you can launch a telnet session to an individual chassis directly from a Cisco MGM menu.
Chapter 1 Cisco MGM Orientation Cisco WebViewer Features Cisco WebViewer Features Using the Cisco WebViewer, you can perform the following tasks: • Enforce security The Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway enforces security with user accounts and access levels. Users must log onto the Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway before performing any task, and authenticated users can perform only those tasks permitted by their access level.
Chapter 1 Cisco MGM Orientation Cisco WebViewer Features • Performance management Client applications can retrieve performance statistics for DS1, DS3, and SONET lines through the Cisco VCG interface. For more information, see the Cisco Voice CORBA Gateway for the MGX 8260 Media Gateway User Guide. Cisco Media Gateway Manager for the Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway User Guide 1-6 Release 1.
C H A P T E R 2 Cisco MGM Installation Cisco MGM is based on the Cisco EMF, which operates in a distributed environment using a server and clients. This chapter describes the deployment options, software components, hardware requirements, and installation procedures for Cisco MGM, and identifies the Cisco EMF options that are important when installing Cisco MGM.
Chapter 2 Cisco MGM Installation Deployment Options Server with Local Client Every deployment includes Cisco EMF Server and Cisco MGM extensions. Processes on the server keep track of the current state of the network, user access, events, and so on. The Cisco EMF clients provide the user interface to the system. When you install a Cisco EMF Server, you automatically add a local client (see Figure 2-1).
Chapter 2 Cisco MGM Installation System Requirements Server with Remote Clients A Cisco EMF deployment may have additional clients installed on separate workstations (see Figure 2-2). A client installation retrieves management information from the Cisco EMF Server and displays it on the user interface. Using clients that run on separate hosts frees system resources on the server and improves overall performance.
Chapter 2 Cisco MGM Installation System Requirements Platform Requirements The platform resources you need depend on the number of Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateways and their configurations. A basic installation requires 2 GB of free disk space in a file system (for example /opt) for Cisco EMF and Cisco MGM. Table 2-1 Minimum Platform Requirements Resource Cisco MGM Server Cisco MGM Client Hardware Sun Ultra 60 Workstation Sun Ultra 5 workstation Operating system Solaris 2.6 with CDE 1.3 or SunOS 5.
Chapter 2 Cisco MGM Installation Installing the Cisco MGM Server Installing the Cisco MGM Server To install the server, perform these major steps: Step 1 Install the Netscape browser. Step 2 Install Cisco EMF server. Step 3 Configure RAW partitions. Step 4 Install Cisco MGM server. Installing a Netscape Browser Cisco WebViewer requires a full installation of the Netscape browser to operate correctly. Refer to the Netscape documentation for installation procedures.
Chapter 2 Cisco MGM Installation Installing the Cisco MGM Server Step 6 Start a Cisco EMF shell: /bin/cemf shell Step 7 Edit the host name server parameters file, as follows: a.

C H A P T E R 5 Network Management Cisco MGM automatically discovers network elements and displays them on the Map Viewer screen. From this map you can view operational status and navigate to screens that support node configuration and software upgrades.
Chapter 5 Network Management Inventory Discovery Invoking Automatic Discovery When you initiate automatic discovery, Cisco EMF pings each IP addresses in the given range. If a response is received, it initiates an SNMP GET request for the enterprise object id (OID). If the OID matches any of the predefined Cisco EMF Class mappings, such as MGX 8260, an object of that class is created and displayed.
Chapter 5 Network Management Inventory Discovery Subchassis discovery inspects SNMP MIBs for the following configurable objects: • MGX 8260 Chassis and Status • MGX 8260 Card Configuration and Status, including SCC, NCC, BSC, and DMC cards • MGX 8260 Line Configuration and Status, including DS1, DS3, SONET, Fast Ethernet, and D channel • ISDN Configurations, including Dlsap Profile and Macsap Profiles • Backhaul Session Configurations, including Sets, Groups, and Sessions Upon completion of subc
Chapter 5 Network Management Downloading Software Images and Configuration Files Downloading Software Images and Configuration Files The software download feature facilitates downloading of software image files for the System Controller Card (SCC), Narrowband Service Card (NSC), and Broadband Service Card (BSC) on multiple systems. Downloading the software does not automatically activate it; the system continues to operate on the current software until you perform the upgrade procedure.
Chapter 5 Network Management Upgrading Card Software Upgrading Card Software The upgrade process for redundant cards is graceful and does not interrupt service. When you invoke the process, the system upgrades and restarts only the standby card. You then have the option to commit or cancel the upgrade. When you commit the software, the system switches to the standby card and then upgrades the other card. Warning Upgrading nonredundant cards interrupts service.

Chapter 6 Fault and Performance Management Monitoring Alarms and Events Event Browser Display The event status of objects contained in a map can affect the event status of the parent icon. In other words, if the event status changes on a map object, this is propagated to the parent icon. The event status is changed to reflect the most severe event of its children. In Cisco EMF, when a condition (fault) occurs on a managed object, the system is notified immediately.
Chapter 6 Fault and Performance Management Launching the Event Browser Two indicators, color coded to the severity of the event, are available to the left of the object name: • Clear (an indicator to show if an event is active or cleared) • Ack (an indicator to show if an event is acknowledged or unacknowledged). Click the Ack button to indicate to other users that the fault is being worked on. The button changes to the color of the severity.
