Hosted Operation of Cascaded Stinger MRT units

Configuring hosted MRT system operations

ID in the physical address of a slot or port, and the shelf ID is also now displayed in
the output of commands that previously showed only slot and port information. In
addition, some commands are new, or have been extended for hosted system
management. For details, see "Monitoring the status of remote shelves" on
page B-16.
For example, the show command has been extended to include information about all
shelves with an active control link to the host. The following command output shows
that in addition to the host shelf (shelf ID 1), shelves 3, 4, 5, and 6 have an active link
to the host. The shelf ID of a remote shelf is set by the SHELF ID switch on that shelf.
HOST> show
Shelf 1 ( master ):
{ shelf-1 slot-1 0 }
{ shelf-1 trunk-module-1 0 } UP
{ shelf-1 trunk-module-2 0 } UP
{ shelf-3 slot-1 0 }
{ shelf-3 first-control-mod+ UP
{ shelf-4 slot-1 0 }
{ shelf-4 first-control-mod+ UP
{ shelf-5 slot-1 0 }
{ shelf-5 first-control-mod+ UP
{ shelf-6 slot-1 0 }
{ shelf-6 first-control-mod+ UP
Note All configuration profiles reside on and are accessible only on the host system.
You can also use the open command to access the controllers and LIMs of remote
shelves directly from the host, or to access the host from a remote shelf. For example,
the following command opens a session with the LIM in slot 1 of remote shelf 3:
HOST> open 3 1
mrtdmt-3/1>
Opening a session to the resources of a remote shelf is useful for diagnosing error
conditions, checking configurations, or performing certain maintenance functions,
but it cannot be used to provision the remote shelf.
The open command can also be used on a remote shelf to open a session to the host.
For example, a repair or maintenance technician can open a session to the host to
inspect or change the configuration, run diagnostics, or perform certain maintenance
functions. In addition, once a session is open to the host, an additional session can be
opened from the host back to a remote shelf.
Configuring hosted MRT system operations
In a hosted system, the host controller is configured as the master controller and the
remote shelf controllers operate as slaves. The master controller uses some of the
bandwidth of the cascade port for control messages to remote system resources—for
example, to set up virtual circuits, update or create profiles, and manage the remote
DSL interfaces. When a slave controller receives control messages from the master
controller, it acts as proxy for the master controller and forwards the messages to the
proper resource.
