Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction
RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 Ver. 2.0 Functional Description 1-15
Management
The performance of RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 can be locally monitored from an
ASCII terminal, or from a remote site using Telnet, SNMP, Web terminal or
RADview-Lite.
Inband Management
RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 enable configuring, monitoring and following up on
statistics via Telnet, SNMP and the Web.
Out-of-Band Management
RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 allows full configuration and diagnostics via an ASCII
terminal. The ASCII terminal is connected to the control port on the front panel.
Chapter 3 explains how to activate the ASCII terminal and provides general
instructions on navigating to various system menus and windows and modifying
data.
Units with 4 x 10/100BaseT configurations enable managing the respective unit
via a dedicated Fast Ethernet port using a Telnet server, SNMP V1, or Web based
tools such as Web terminal and RADview-Lite. Refer to
Chapter 3 for additional
information.
Management Access
The architecture allows access from every bridge port to both the host and the
remote site devices. Depending on the configuration mode, you may dedicate a
port to management traffic, thus separating management and user traffic.
In this scenario, traffic coming from the remote CPE uses two VLANs, one for user
traffic, for which the CPE may use tag stacking, and the other one for
management traffic. All CPEs connected to RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 share the
same management VLAN.
In VLAN-aware mode, RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 forwards the management traffic
to the Ethernet cloud network management station. Using a different VLAN
maintains strict separation of user and management traffic.
