Configuring In-Band Management
Overview of In-Band Management Configurations
Three types of in-band management configurations are available:
•
Direct connection (see “Using the Direct Connection Configuration” on
page B-2)
The management host connects over an ATM WAN directly to an I/O
module port in a remote managed target (the PSAX system being man-
aged).
A direct connection can also be made between the network management
system (NMS) machine, usually a Sun Solaris workstation, to a PacketStar
PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway system through an OC-3c interface.
This configuration requires that the NMS machine have a FORE card.
•
Routed connection (see “Using the Routed Connection Configuration” on
page B-4)
The management host connects over an Ethernet network to an I/O
module port in an PSAX system acting as a router. The “router” PSAX
system in turn has direct in-band management PVC connections to
remote PSAX systems (managed targets).
The routed connection configuration connects a PSAX system through
another PSAX system, which acts as a main router. The “main router”
PSAX system is connected to the NMS machine through an Ethernet
connection. The “main router” is connected to an “intermediate router”
PSAX system, or an “end system” PSAX system through ATM connec-
tions. In this configuration, ATM connections are made to the nearest
hop in the tree structure.
This route connection allows you to flexibly manage any number of
PSAX devices.
•
Hybrid connection (see “Using the Hybrid Connection Configuration” on
page B-10)
Hybrid connection, which connects the main router PSAX device directly
to the end system PSAX systems through ATM PVC connections. These
ATM PVC connections can be sent through several PSAX systems to
reach the “end system” PSAX systems. The main router PSAX system is
connected to the NMS computer through an Ethernet LAN.
Hybrid connection configuration connects the “main router” PSAX sys-
tem directly to the “end system” PSAX system through ATM connections.
These ATM connections can be tunneled through a number of switches
to reach the “end system” Multiservice Media Gateway system. The
“main router” PSAX system is connected to the NMS machine through
an Ethernet connection.
The guidelines for setting up an in-band management network for each of
these configurations are provided in the following sections.
