2-2 Pre-configuring LA-210 for Network Management RV-EMS/NGN LA-210
2.1 Network Management Options
LA-210 units have a local management subsystem that controls the operation of
all of its circuits. The subsystem supports various management interfaces,
including inband and out-of-band SNMP management (for example, RADview),
Telnet, and local management via an ASCII terminal or a Web browser. RADview
management software is typically used to support large networks.
Some parameters, such as the Operation Mode, CANNOT be changed from within
RADview, since they are read only parameters. However, you can use the built-in
management menu-driven interface of the LA-210 to configure the operational
mode. The configuration menus are accessible from a serial connection to the
device control port or using the Telnet protocol via a connection to the Ethernet
LAN port. For complete information about managing LA-210 using the terminal,
see the
LA-210 Installation and Operation Manual.
• Changing the Operation Mode erases some parameters, such as the Ethernet
host IP, and disconnects any remote management sessions.
• Changing the Ethernet host IP address disconnects any remote management
sessions. For RADview management, you would have to add the new managed
element (host) IP address to the EMS or SNMPc map.
RADview management software is used for managing large networks. RADview
uses SNMP messages to manage LA-210 can be managed by a network
management station (NMS) via one of the unit’s Ethernet ports. The connection
can be made either from a local LAN, or from a remote location, via a PSN
connected to one of the ETX Ethernet ports.
2.2 Pre-configuring LA-210 for Network
Management
LA-210 can be managed by a network management station which is located on
the LAN connected to the one of the unit’s Ethernet ports.
To remotely administer LA-210 via a Network Management Station (NMS), it is
necessary to first configure the basic LA-210 parameters via an ASCII terminal
command line interface (CLI) session to the LA-210 Control Port. The following
steps are required:
• Connecting a terminal to the control port
• Configuring the host parameters
• Entering device information
• Configuring LA-210 communities
• Configuring the host encapsulation
• Configuring the network managers
• Controlling management access
• Configuring control port parameters.
