Operations and Management
This chapter provides a list of activities you should complete before you attempt to operate your
network of LightStream 2020 multiservice ATM switches (LS2020 switches).
This chapter also lists the operations and management activities that you can perform on a network of
LS2020 ATM switches. It describes the tools and methods that you can use to manage your network,
depending on your hardware and software configuration.
Where to Begin
Before you attempt to operate your network, each LS2020 switch should be fully installed, powered on, and
configured. The following checklist specifies the tasks that should be complete before you begin operating and
managing your network. For information on these tasks, see the LightStream 2020 Installation Guide and
the LightStream 2020 Configuration Guide, or check with your network administrator. See the appropriate
setup procedures described in the LightStream 2020 Installation Guide. Depending on how you choose to
set up your network, you may not need to perform all of the setup procedures.

Management Tools Management Tools You can use the following methods to manage an LS2020 network: • LS2020 network management. Use the LS2020 StreamView network management application to perform most management functions. You can, however, use the CLI on one of the network processors (NPs) or on a Sun SPARCstation to perform some management tasks, if the configurator or network management system (NMS) is unavailable. - Page 4 Network Management Scenarios SNMP-Compatible Network Management Tools You can use any industry standard SNMP-compatible NMS to monitor an LS2020 network. The NMS can be connected to the LS2020 switch through the Ethernet interface on the NP or through the Ethernet or FDDI interface on the packet line card (PLC). The following three systems can be used with the LS2020 switch: •...
