This manual is for system administrators responsible for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the ATX. Much of the configuration of the ATX needs to be done using an SNMP-based network management station. This manual contains the SNMP MIB variables you may need to configure, monitor, and manage your unit.

• ATX User Guide – contains installation, configuration, and management instructions for the ATX. It also describes how to use the Local Console Manager (LCM), which is a non-intelligent terminal interface to the unit.

After the prefix, add the ATX group ID {2}, the filter group ID {9}, and the filterCurrentCount ID of {2}. As stated above, the zero {0} indicates that this variable is a single instance and only one variable can be returned.
• dnld_software To distribute the new software to a ATX, the TFTP procedure is as follows: Start TFTP on the NMS, or on any other device which can provide TFTP services. (Typically, TFTP must be started from the same directory that contains the files to be transferred.) TFTP must be told the IP address of the...
1.8.2 Retrieving All Parameters TRTP is used for retrieval of the parameters of an ATX, as follows: 1. Start TFTP. TFTP must be told the IP address of the ATX, and the file transfer mode (binary). Tell TFTP to retrieve the unit’s Configuration file.
The ATX supports the TCP/IP MIB-II, as defined by Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-Based Internets MIB-II, RFC 1213 (K. McCloghrie, editor), dated March 1991. The MIB is divided into groups of parameters. The individual groups are described in the subsections below. You may want to refer to the actual TCP/IP MIB, since this document paraphrases the standard MIB in order to provide ATX-related descriptions.

The IP address of the NMS (i.e., any IP host) that is allowed to use TFTP to send/ retrieve the configuration file of the ATX. A value of 0.0.0.0 (which is the factory specified default) prevents any NMS from obtaining access, while a value of 255.255.255.255 gives every NMS permission.
Step 3. Set addrOperation with the “read-next” operation code.

Although the ATX will remove the entry, it may relearn and recreate the entry.

Step 1. Determine which filter is to be deleted. Step 2. Set the filterDeleteID field to contain the value of the filter’s filter ID. Once the ATX receives this SetRequest, the ATX renumbers all of the filters, thereby invalidating the NMS’s combination filters information.
Page 199
filterDeleteID Integer Read-Write A filter identifier used for deleting filters. After the NMS sets this field, the ATX deletes the filterEntry that has a matching filter ID field, and resets this field to zero. The ATX then updates filterCurrentCount, filterNextID, and the entire filterTable.

A set of flag bits which control the operation of the filter. Filters will not prevent packets from being accepted by the ATX as a final destination (e.g., for NMS packets being used to control the ATX). The following bits are used: •...

11 used for determining if a filter would have been applied if set, this filter should not be used for the forwarding/filtering decision making; however, the ATX must determine if a packet would have been filtered if the filter were to have been used (and filterPktCnts must be updated).

filter, and the NMS has not yet acknowledged the alarm. Therefore, whenever the NMS reads this value, it will always be False; however, the NMS may receive alarms (i.e., enterprise specific trap PDUs) with this value set to True.

The total number of packets which were discarded due to this filter. Under some circumstances when packets are not forwarded (e.g., local traffic, or packets that are addressed to the ATX itself as the final destination), filterPktsCnts is not necessarily incremented when the filtering criteria agrees with the packet’s contents.

Step 1. Set debugBase with the desired base address. Step 2. Set debugLength with the desired location count. Step 3. Set debugData to NULL, so that the ATX’s GetResponse PDU will include the current value of debugData (i.e., the contents of the desired memory locations).
Page 207
Step 4. Set debugOperation with the “DEBUG_MODIFY” value. All of the above “sets” must be performed in a single SetRequest PDU, with debugOperation being the last parameter. This will cause the ATX to modify the desired memory locations, update the debugLength parameter, and return the updated parameter in the GetResponse PDU.
A series of 0-64 octets, which represents 0-16 words (this may change in the future, if the ATX has processors with word sizes of other than 4 bytes per word). When this variable is read, the ATX uses the values in debugBase and debugLength to return the contents of a specified memory range to the NMS.
