Stinger MRT Operational Overview
Stinger MRT management features
For an introduction to the command-line interface and its shortcuts, see the TAOS
Command-Line Interface Guide.
Onboard flash memory and software updates
You can perform software upgrades of the onboard flash memory in the field. You
upgrade the Stinger MRT unit by accessing it locally through its serial (CONSOLE)
port and downloading software upgrades from a TFTP server. For details, see the
Stinger Administration Guide.
SNMP support
In addition to managing a Stinger MRT unit by means of the command-line interface,
you can manage the unit by using an SNMP management station such as the
NavisAccess™ product. A Stinger MRT unit can generate SNMP traps (event
notifications) to indicate alarm conditions, and it relies on SNMP community strings
to implement SNMP security.
For information about using SNMP with Stinger MRT units, see the Stinger
Administration Guide, the Stinger SNMP Management of the ATM Stack Supplement, and
the documentation for Navis™ network management software.
RADIUS support
You can use RADIUS to store user profiles for ATM circuits and terminating
connections. The RADIUS server must be compliant with vendor-specific attributes
(VSAs), as defined in RFC 2138. To use RADIUS, you must also configure the Stinger
MRT unit to communicate with the RADIUS server.
For information about configuring and using RADIUS, see the TAOS RADIUS Guide
and Reference.
Tracking system activity
A Stinger MRT unit supports many commands for monitoring system activity. To
display the commands that are available with the permission settings in the current
User profile, enter the help (or ?) command. The following example shows the
commands available for the admin login. The left column shows command names,
and the right column shows the command class, which determines the permissions
required to use the command.
