Basic Dial NMS Implementation Guide
Configuration
management
SNMP—Use CW2000 RME to archive configuration files, manage
Cisco IOS images, determine how much memory is installed, and discover
which boot ROMs are present.
CLI—Inspect and modify Cisco IOS configuration files and images.
For example, use the following commands:
`
show version
`
show running
`
show modem version
AAA authentication—Control access to the routers.
AAA authorization—Limit CLI command access to router administrators
on a per group basis. Authorization is also used for limiting network
service assignments, such as static IP addresses and access lists.
AAA accounting—Monitor which configuration changes are made to the
routers and identify who is making the changes. Authenticated usernames
also appear in syslog.
Effective IP address management—Manage all assigned IP subnets by
using a DNS server and the application Cisco Network Registrar.
Web-based management—Navigate devices and enable HTTP access to
the CLI.
Accounting
management
Send accounting information to a database that is accessible by Standard
Query Language (SQL). Archive user-accounting data for billing and
auditing purposes.
Syslog—Collect basic accounting information by using modem call
records.
CLI—Collect accounting statistics. For example, use the following
commands:
`
show interface accounting
`
show isdn history
`
show controller t1 call-counters
`
show modem log
`
show modem summary
`
show modem call-stats
