Overview
This chapter briefly describes the functionality of the XSR. Refer to the
following chapters in this manual for details on how to configure this
functionality and the XSR CLI Reference Guide for a description of associated
CLI commands and examples.
The following functionality is supported on the XSR:
 System Management - The XSR’s resources can be managed via four
methods: the Command Line Interface (CLI) for full configuration,
performance and fault management; the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) including SNMP v1/v2c/v3 agent,
for remote monitoring; the NetSight Atlas Router Services Manager
application for firewall and ACL configuration; and the Web to
gather version information. These tools control the XSR’s many
hardware and software facilities. Also supported: SSH v2 server, full
configuration backup and restore, login banner, and a host of
proprietary and standard MIBs including Syslog, Configuration
Management, Configuration Change, TimedReset, Entity, Chassis
and Protocol MIBs (OSPF, RIP, Frame Relay, and PPP).
 Ethernet Interfaces - The XSR 1800 Series’ two 10/100 Base-T
FastEthernet interfaces and XSR 3000 Series’ three 10/100/1000
BaseT GigabitEthernet interfaces handle the router’s LAN traffic
stream, with support for alarms and events, diagnostics, packet
filtering and statistics gathering, and Ethernet backup.
 T1/E1 Interfaces - The XSR’s T1/E1 subsystem on a single NIM-based
I/O card handles the router’s WAN traffic with support for alarm
detection and signaling, diagnostics, line encoding, and a host of
other functionality.
