board is powered on, the kennel program in BootRom will be first run to call an
application program version. During the system running, users may download a
new version by means of remote NM requests. Any new version will be
downloaded to the SCBF and sent via the HDLC link to the line interface board.
During the system initialization, this module checks the version numbers of
application programs run on all the line interface boards currently started. If
there is any inconsistency, alarms will be generated and reported to the NMS.
5. Embedded BAS (RPCK) interface module
The embedded BAS (RPCK) interface module is used for MAC address
translation of IP packets sent from the SCBF to RPCK. Besides, this module
sends these packets to the port where RPCK is located. This module is also
responsible for MAC address translation of IP packets received from RPCK and
sends it to the agent process via the IP layer. The agent process forwards the NM
information to users’ NM interfaces to enable users to perform NM operations of
RPCK in the NM of the main set.
5.4.4 Database Subsystem
The database subsystem is composed of database modules only. The database modules
here are not in a common sense. Various object data in the whole system are distributed
in respective modules, which maintain corresponding data. The system provides a
unified framework so that various modules gain unified access to distributed object
data. This framework provides the interfaces necessary for this access. Thus, SNMP
agent gains access to various MIBs by means of this framework.
5.4.5 L3/4 Protocol Subsystem
The L3/4 protocol subsystem consists of TCP/IP protocol modules. This subsystem
implements TCP, UDP, ICMP, IP, ARP, and RARP.
The whole L3/4 protocol subsystem runs on the SCBF. All data information input are
sent via inband line interface board or outband to the switching chip on the SCBF. This
chip sends the information to the CPU on the SCBF. The output of the data information
led in via inband line interface board is sent inband by the switching chip on the SCBF
and the output of data information led in via outband line interface board is sent
outband.
