However, to enter into the HTTP/HTML pages, you must first define the LAN Address Technique, LAN IP Address, and LAN Subnet Mask for the DACS. If you have not done so, please refer to the Getting Started Guide that came with your DACS.

    4 • Alarms Introduction The DACS has an extensive alarm reporting system which enables users to configure, monitor, and test major and minor alarms. The alarm system can be set to notify of equipment failures (for example, a power supply failure) or T1/E1 port malfunctions.
  • Page 33 T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide The T1/E1 DACS Multiplexer has four methods to notify an alarm condition: 1. Front panel LED—The front panel ALARM LED has three states that indicate the presence and severity of an alarm. The states are: Off—No alarm present Solid—Minor alarm Flashing—Major alarm.

  • Page 37: Temperature Threshold

    T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide Temperature Threshold An alarm message is generated when the internal box temperature exceeds this threshold value (degrees Cel- sius). You can change the threshold temperature, but we recommend that you use the factory default. Modify Alarms—Configuring alarm severity levels Clicking on Modify Alarms window (see figure 12) displays a table listing each individual alarm.
  • Page 38 4 • Alarms • MinorSelfClearing(3)—Generate a minor alarm that automatically clears after a fixed period of time. If the alarm condition has not ceased, the alarm will be automatically cleared, but another alarm will be immedi- ately generated. If the alarm condition has ceased, the alarm will be automatically cleared after the same fixed period of time.

Each filter is a defined list of parameters based upon attributes in the IP, TCP, and UDP headers. There are two major steps to filter creation: first defining the filter, then applying it to a user connection.

    T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide Destination Mask (filterIpDestinationMask) This is the destination mask used when comparing a packet’s destination address. Bit positions that are set to 1 will be compared and 0’s will be ignored. Thus, a setting of 0.0.0.0 will have the effect of disabling destination IP address comparison.

The statistics listed on the DACS ICMP window (see figure 19) com- prise those contained in RFC 792—Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). Implementation of the ICMP group is mandatory for all TCP/IP networks.

  • Page 59: Total Sent [Imcpoutmsgs]

    [icmpOutErrors] The number of ICMP messages which the Model 2604 did not send due to problems discovered within ICMP such as a lack of buffers. It does not include errors discovered outside the ICMP layer like the inability of IP to route the resultant datagram.

  • Page 64: Forwarding (Ipforwarding)

    10 • IP Forwarding (ipForwarding) The indication of whether this entity is acting as an IP gateway in respect to the forwarding of datagrams received by, but not addressed to, this entity. IP gateways forward datagrams, IP hosts do not (except those source-routed via the host).

    T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide Note The Discarded w/No Errors counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly. Total Deliveries (ipInDelivers) The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to IP user-protocols (including ICMP). Out Requests (ipOutRequests) The total number of IP datagrams which local IP user-protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission.

  • Page 66: Fragmented Ok (Ipfragoks)

    10 • IP # Fragmented OK (ipFragOKs) The number of IP datagrams that have been successfully fragmented at this entity. # Fragmented Failed (ipFragFails) The number of IP datagrams that have been discarded because they required fragmenting at this entity, but were not fragmented because their Don’t Fragment option was set.

  • Page 67: Addressing Information

    T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide 10 • IP Addressing Information The IP addressing Information window (see figure 22) is where you can view the default address for outgoing IP datagrams, the local or loopback address of the box, and the IP address of the box as defined in Chapter 15, “System”.

  • Page 68: Routing Information

    10 • IP T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide Routing Information The IP Routing Information window (see figure 24) displays information required to route IP datagrams, including the IP address, subnet mask, next-hop router, and interface for each network interface defined in the DACS.

  • Page 69: Mask (Iproutemask)

    T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide Mask (ipRouteMask) Indicates the mask to be logical-ANDed with the destination address before being compared to the value in the ipRouteDest field. For those systems that do not support arbitrary subnet masks, an agent constructs the value of the ipRouteMask by determining whether the value of the corresponding ipRouteDest field belongs to a Class A, B, or C network, and then using the appropriate mask from table 3.

  • Page 70: O/S Forwarding Table Window

    10 • IP O/S forwarding table window The O/S forwarding table window lists forwarding information for all routes. Destination (ipRouteDest) The destination IP address of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. Multiple routes to a single destination can appear in the table, but access to such multiple entries is dependent on the table-access mechanisms defined by the network management protocol in use.

  • Page 71: Protocol (Iprouteproto)

    T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide • direct(3)—route to directly connected (sub-)network • indirect(4)—route to a non-local host/network/sub-network Note The values direct(3) and indirect(4) refer to the notion of direct and indirect routing in the IP architecture. Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry in the ipRouteTable object.

  • Page 72: Ip Routing Destination Window

    10 • IP IP Routing Destination window The IP Routing Destination window (see figure 26) shows next-hop routing information. Route Destination (ipRouteDest) The destination IP address of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. Multiple routes to a single destination can appear in the table, but access to such multiple entries is dependent on the table-access mechanisms defined by the network management protocol in use.

  • Page 73: Seconds Since Updated (Iprouteage)

    T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide Seconds Since Updated (ipRouteAge) The number of seconds since this route was last updated or otherwise determined to be correct. Tag (RouteTag) An identifier associated with the route. This can have different meanings depending on the protocol. For exam- ple, this gives the tag that was passed with a learned RIP route.

  • Page 74: Net Address (Ipnettomedianetaddress)

    10 • IP Net Address (ipNetToMediaNetAddress) The IP address corresponding to the media-dependent physical address. Physical (ipNetToMediaPhysAddress) The media-dependent physical address. Type (ipNetToMediaType) The type of mapping. Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry in the ipNetToMediaTable.
