1 Local Management This manual covers Local Management configuration of the CyberSWITCH CSX400, CSX400-DC, and CSX500; and HSIM-W6 and HSIM-W84, as these devices share common component interfaces. IMPORTANT NOTICE This manual covers version 02.01.XX or greater, until superseded by a later version manual. For devices running version 01.XX.XX, please refer to the previous manual, part number 9032672-02.
Local Management Chapter Organization The following list shows the organization of this chapter: WAN Features outlines WAN protocols, ISDN, and call backup. Local Management Overview outlines the contents of this chapter, provides an overview of Local Management, and explains how to use the management screens. Accessing Local Management describes how to access the Main Menu screen and navigate through the Local Management screens.
WAN Features WAN Features Some of the WAN features are listed and explained here, while others can be found in the QuickSET Configuration Guide, which can be found on the QuickSET CD, or on the Cabletron Systems web site for the manuals. WAN Protocols The HSIM or CyberSWITCH interface supports ISDN BRI, which encapsulates PPP. For more information, refer to the host platform manual and the Release Notes included with the host platform for a list of current supported protocols.
Local Management The following are reasons to use ISDN call backup: • Hardware failure of a nailed-up PPP connection • line failure Use call backup if either of the following conditions exist when using Frame Relay: • DLCI circuit fails to connect in a predetermined amount of time. • DLCI goes inactive. The following is one circumstance in which it might not be advisable to use call backup: • When going point-to-multipoint, setting backup on the head-end side is not recommended.
Local Management Overview Spoofing The concept of mimicking correct responses to keep level requests alive at the local end of a temporarily broken connection is called connection (or call) spoofing. Call spoofing saves connect time charges by allowing the call to be disconnected without causing the NOS to time-out the client/host connection. It also enhances data throughput by keeping the line clear of these network administration packets.
Local Management Local Management Screen Elements There are five basic field elements, as shown in the Local Management screen in Figure 1-1.

Local Management Enabling IP Forwarding on a Port By default, IP Forwarding is disabled on each router port. Your device cannot begin forwarding IP data packets on any router port until you enable IP Forwarding on that port. To enable IP Forwarding on a router port, complete the following steps: 1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Forwarding option. 2. Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ENABLED. 3.
IP Configuration Screen The UDP Broadcast Redirector enables you to configure any Routing Services enabled device to forward the UDP packets that it receives as LAN broadcasts, directly to the appropriate server. UDP service requests that are sent as LAN broadcasts by clients of applications such as Host Name, Domain Name, and Bootstrap servers, can be redirected to any server on any network segment. To configure the UDP Broadcast Redirector, complete the following steps: 1.
Local Management A proxy ARP response is generated when the following occurs: • Proxy ARP is enabled on a router port. • An ARP request is received as a LAN broadcast (looking for the MAC-layer address of an IP host on another network segment). • An entry exists in the IP Forwarding Table for the destination host’s network.
IP Configuration Screen Enabling the RIP routing protocol allows IP Routing Services to build and maintain a dynamic database of route information. The best routes learned by the RIP routing protocol are added to the IP Forwarding Table to forward IP packets. The ability to switch the RIP routing protocol on and off on a port-by-port basis provides great flexibility. On the same device, some router ports can be running the RIP routing protocol while other router ports are not.
Local Management Metrics — The RIP-1 and RIP-2 protocols use fixed “metrics” to compare alternative routes. This is not appropriate where routes need to be chosen based on real-time parameters such as measured delay, reliability, or load. RIP is intended to allow routers to exchange information for computing routes through an IPv6-based network. Any router that uses RIP is assumed to have interfaces to one or more networks, otherwise it isn’t a router. These are referred to as directly connected networks.
IP Configuration Screen Compatibility Switch — A compatibility switch is necessary for two reasons. First, there are implementations of RIP-1 in the field that do not follow RFC1058, and second, the use of multicasting would prevent RIP-1 systems from receiving RIP-2 updates (which may be a desired feature in some cases). This switch is configurable on a “per-interface” basis.

WAN Configuration NOTE Network Tools can be found in the MIB NAVIGATOR selection in the main menu of Local Management for the host platform. Configure Primary Lines and Routing Configure the primary lines. Refer to the appropriate WPIM user’s manual. Configure routing if used. Refer to the appropriate host platform user’s manual. Select the Protocol Select the ISDN Protocol Manager for the HSIM or CyberSWITCH in Local Management, using the WAN Physical screen.
Configuration: Call Backup Proceed with the following steps: 1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the [WPIM X] field at the bottom of the screen. Press the SPACE bar to select the WPIM number of the HSIM or CyberSWITCH being configured, then press ENTER. Typically the backup HSIM or CyberSWITCH will be installed in slot 2 of the host platform. 2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the MgrType. Press the SPACE bar to select ISDN BRI, then press ENTER.
WAN Configuration Enable Compression Control Protocol (CCP) The WAN Interface Configuration screen, Figure 2-17, need only be accessed if the Compression Control Protocol (CCP) feature is to be turned on (normally it is desirable to have this function on). Otherwise, the functions of this screen are not normally needed for call backup. Access the WAN Interface Configuration screen by using the arrow keys to highlight the WAN Int Config command in the WAN Physical Configuration screen, then press ENTER.
Configuration: Call Backup NOTE The commands in the rest of the procedure are Network Tools commands. Refer to the host platform manual for detailed information on accessing Network Tools. Configure Backup Backup is normally used to configure a backup connection if a primary connection fails. It can also be used to reduce CPU time for an unused interface.
WAN Configuration Example 1: There is a nailed-up PPP interface #3, and to back it up, ISDN interface #4 is used with the default values. Use the command: setbackup 3 4 Example 2: For any switched medium like ISDN there are two types of interfaces, primary and secondary (backup). Primary interfaces automatically attempt to connect using DoD. Because of this, it is recommended not to create any unnecessary interfaces because they will consume unnecessary time in trying to connect.
Configuration: Call Backup Configure the D Channel Use the following command in Network Tools to set the switch type: setswitchtype [WANPORTNUM] [SWITCHTYPE] WANPORTNUM — If the HSIM or CyberSWITCH occupies WAN port number one, use 1, if it occupies port number two, use 2 as the WANPORTNUM. SWITCHTYPE — Choose between the types of ISDN BRI switches. The choices are NI1 (default for BRI), DMS100 (BRI/PRI), ATT5 ESS (BRI/PRI, default for PRI), ATT-4ESS (PRI) and NET3 (BRI).
WAN Configuration Set Maximum Number of Neighbor/Remote Profiles A neighbor/remote profile describes a possible connection. The maximum should be set to account for support of PPP Multilink. If PPP Multilink is used, then the number of profiles must accommodate the maximum possible number of additional “more BW” connections/calls desired. Consequently, each neighbor profile would then describe a possible connection to the same remote end point (user).
Configuration: Call Backup Use the Network Tools commands ct and dt to test the line by doing a manual connect or disconnect: ct [IFACENUM] connects (places) a call for the interface designated. dt [IFACENUM] disconnects (hangs up) the call. These three Network Tools commands allow the user to check whether or not the ISDN line and profile(s) have been configured properly and that a connection is possible. When reconfiguring an interface, the host platform does not have to be reset.
