3 Management Methods
General
The x6010 NIDs are managed through the IONMM using one of the following methods.
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) – both public and private Management
Information Bases (MIBs) allowing for a user to easily integrate and manage the ION platform
with an SNMP based network management system (NMS).
•
Telnet session – uses a command line interface (CLI) to access and control the IONMM via the
network.
•
Universal Serial Bus (USB) – uses a CLI to access and control the IONMM through a locally
connected workstation.
•
Web-browser – access and control the IONMM using a standard web browser and a graphical
user interface (GUI).
The x6010 NIDs cannot be remotely managed directly (i.e., only through IONMM).
IONMM Managed x6010
NIDS that are managed through the IONMM are either chassis resident (C6010) or standalone modules
(S6010) that are connected as remotes to chassis resident modules. Communications between the
IONMM and each x6010 is through the ION Chassis backplane.
You can manage and configure the x6010 via the CLI or the Web interface.
Managing Slide-In and Remote Modules Using CLI Commands
Management of modules other than the IONMM can be accomplished by entering CLI commands
through either the local USB serial interface or a remote Telnet session. CLI commands can operate on
the device level or port level. This is indicated by the status of the command prompt’s preamble.
For example:
AgentIII C1|S1|L1D>
or just:
C1|S1|L1D>
This prompt indicates that any subsequent commands entered are for the module located in chassis
1/slot1. In order to enter a command for a different device or port in the ION system, you must change
the location of the command prompt. The
go
command lets you change the hierarchical location of the
command prompt. Before using the command, a familiarity with the hierarchy structure in the ION
system is essential.
