To erase the system database, follow these steps:
CAUTION: Before you erase the system database, make a record of all
configuration settings; these settings will be lost when you erase the database.
Also keep in mind that erasing the database is an action that cannot be undone.
Perform the following procedure only if you are sure that erasing the database is
your best course of action.
1 From the Super User Privilege menu, shown earlier in Figure 43, select [3] Erase
System Database to open the Erase System Database menu. This menu displays
the following warning and prompt:
This action will cause a SOFT RESET of the system.
Do you want to erase the system database (Y/N) [N]?
2 Enter y to erase the system database.
In addition to managing the PathBuilder S330/S310 out-of-band, you can also
manage the unit in-band via the 10Base-T port on the near-end MCPU card (up to
ten VCs maximum).
For detailed instructions on configuring PVCs, see "Configuring Virtual Circuits" in
Chapter 4.
To configure in-band management via the 10Base-T port on the near-end MCPU
card, follow these steps:
If you use this method, you must use a new subnet with each PathBuilder
S330/S310 and a new static route for each new subnet on the management
station or router. You are also limited to managing ten remote units from the
central management unit,
1 Open the Add Virtual Circuit menu and set preliminary circuit configuration
parameters.
a From the Main Menu select [2] Configuration Management to open up the
Configuration Management Menu.
b Select [2] Manage Circuit. This opens the Virtual Circuit Menu.
c Select [2] Add Virtual Circuit.
d Enter the desired description for the circuit, and press [Enter].
e Enter 1 to set the VC Class as PVC.
f Enter 1 to set the VC Type as VCC.
2 Build a PVC on the near-end PathBuilder S330/S310, using the MCPU as side A of
the virtual circuit. To do this, you need to set the following side A parameters on
the Add Virtual Circuit screen, as shown in Figure 45.
Shaper Number—Choose the number corresponding to the desired shaper
n
value. You assign the shaper number from the MCPU Shapers screen. See
"Configuring MCPU Shapers" in Chapter 4, for details.
IP Address—This address must be different than the local host IP address.
n
Subnet Mask—Specify any acceptable address (for example, 255.255.255.0)
