1.3 TOKEN RING MANAGEMENT MODULES

Both Cabletron Systems’ TRMM and TRMMIM Token Ring

Management Modules are IEEE 802.5 compliant, IBM compatible, and

support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Both are

designed to be installed into a Cabletron Systems Multi Media Access

Center (MMAC™).

INTRODUCTION

1-3

The TRMM resides in the management (first) slot of the MMAC chassis.

It is designed to manage a full chassis of token ring interface modules.

The TRMMIM also provides the same management functions as the

TRMM to an additional ring from any mid-chassis slot. Both modules can

be used with other Cabletron modules to support a range of Token Ring

and mixed Token Ring and Ethernet configurations in the same MMAC

hub.

Each module has an externally accessible EIA, RS232 COM 2/Console

port which supports LM access via Telnet, a Digital Equipment

Corporation VT200™ or VT300™ series terminal (or emulating

terminal), and a modem-to-terminal configuration. Each module’s

COM 1 port (on older modules, the port labeled Modem) also supports

Uninterruptible Power Supply device monitoring via Cabletron remote

management applications (i.e., LANVIEW, SPECTRUM).

Local Management provides the tools to manage the TRMM/TRMMIM

and all of their attached segments. You can change factory defaults,

configure ring networks via the FNB backplane, enable/disable ports, and

view network statistics. Other features of Local Management allow you to:

• Assign an IP address and a subnet mask.

• Provide network security by controlling access to the ring. You can

prevent unauthorized stations from inserting into the ring.

• Control password access to the TRMM/TRMMIM.

• Designate which Network Management Stations receive trap alarms

from the device.

• View the MIB components supported by your TRMM/TRMMIM.

• Navigate through the TRMM/TRMMIM’s Management Information

Bases (MIB) and manage the objects within it from a remote location,

given the appropriate security level.

• Assign an IP address to a router with Proxy-ARP disabled used for

firmware downloads.

2.2 CONFIGURING THE TERMINAL CABLE

Local management can be accessed by direct connection to a management

terminal by using the RS232 cable and one of the three conversion

connectors shipped with the TRMM/TRMMIM. Two converters are

labeled according to the type of terminal (VT Series and PC) they can be

used with. The converter labeled Modem is used for module-to-modem

connections.

The VT Series connector converts the RJ-45 connector on the cable to a

25-pin female connector, the PC connector converts the RJ-45 connector

to a 9-pin female connector, and the Modem connector converts the RJ-45

connector to a 25-pin male connector.

However, the first user disconnected since the TRMM/TRMMIM has been

reset will receive an invitation to reconnect only once. If the first user who

was disconnected bumps the other user out to reconnect and then gets

bumped out again, the first user will have to first re-attach the management

terminal to the module to become eligible to reconnect to LM.

If a third user attempts to access LM while a second user is already

negotiating for a session, the third user will simply be refused connection.

CHAPTER 3

USING LOCAL MANAGEMENT

This chapter describes how to work with LM screen fields. It also

discusses the function of each available selection from the MAIN MENU

Screen.

3.1 WORKING WITH LM SCREEN FIELDS

LM screens contain the following types of fields:

• Editable

: These fields allow you to either type in a discrete value or

select from available discrete values.

• Command

: These fields initiate executable functions such as saving

changes to memory, exiting a screen, viewing another screen, and so

on.

• Static

: These fields cannot be modified and serve only to provide

structure, identification, or context for the screens and the fields within

them.

An active editable field is always set in boldface, and additionally, those

enclosed in parentheses or brackets indicate fields that offer selections.

Use the following steps to alter editable fields:

1. Move the cursor to the desired field in the window using the Up, Left,

Right, or Down Arrow keys, as applicable, to highlight the field. The

cursor flashes in reverse video to indicate the selected field.

2. Type the new value into the field or use the spacebar to select (or

toggle) from values available from the field. The old value will be

replaced.

Incorrect entries (e.g., field value exceeded) are blocked and the field

remains at its original value.

3. Press the Enter key. The new value will be entered into the field.

4. Highlight the SAVE command, where applicable, at the bottom of the

screen, and press the Enter key. The new values will be saved to

memory.

3.2 THE MAIN MENU SCREEN

The MAIN MENU screen (shown in Figure 2-3) is the initial point for

accessing all screens and commands.

The following selections are available from the MAIN MENU screen.

DEVICE SETUP

This option accesses another menu screen – the DEVICE SETUP menu

screen. There are several screens available from this menu that allow you

to configure the TRMM/TRMMIM. These include:

• SYSTEM LEVEL

–This screen lets you assign operating parameters to

the

TRMM/TRMMIM, including the Date and Time set at its internal

clock and addressing information such as the

IP address and Subnet

Mask.

• SNMP COMMUNITY NAMES

– This screen allows you to specify

the SNMP Community Names which will be granted access to the

TRMM/TRMMIM, as well as the level accorded each name (Read

Only, Read-Write, Super-user).

• SNMP TRAPS

– As an SNMP device, the TRMM/TRMMIM can

authenticate an SNMP request and issue traps correspondingly. The

SNMP TRAPS screen lets you enable the TRMM/TRMMIM to issue

trap/alarms, and specify the IP addresses of network management

stations that will receive these traps.

• RING SECURITY

– You can use this screen to build a list of MAC

addresses that will be allowed to insert into the

TRMM/TRMMIM-controlled ring and specify security options to take

effect when an unauthorized station attempts to insert into the ring

(Alarm to management, or Alarm and station removal).

• BOOT GATEWAY

– The TRMM/TRMMIM supports firmware

downloads over routers with Proxy-ARP disabled. The BOOT
