Introduction to System Operation
Once the database has been configured and the node has been brought on line in the
network, little operator intervention is generally necessary. The various functions that
can be performed from the menus allow the operator to do such things as:
●
Perform on-line updates to nodes.
●
Enable and disable ports, useful for maintenance or updates, or for preventing
use of particular ports (for any reason).
●
Re-IPL (restart) remote nodes, also useful for maintenance or updates.
●
Monitor status of the nodes, ports, connections, or traffic.
●
Display alarm messages.
●
Display statistics for LPs, ports, and IP interfaces.
●
Produce reports on configuration and boot messages.
