Configuring In-band
Management
To erase the system database:
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 52, 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 to erase the system database.

In addition to managing the PathBuilder S330/S310 switch out-of-band, you can
also manage the unit in-band via either the Ethernet 10BASE-T port or (if you have
installed the Ethernet 10/100 module) the Ethernet 10/100BASE-T (PCI Ethernet)
port.
For detailed instructions on configuring PVCs, see "Configuring Virtual Circuits" in
Chapter 4.
To configure in-band management:
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 to open the Virtual Circuit Menu.
c Select [2] Add Virtual Circuit.
d Enter the desired description for the circuit, and press [Enter].
e Enter to set the VC Class as PVC.
1
f Enter to set the VC Type as VCC.
1
g Set the administrative status of the circuit.
2 Build a PVC on the near-end PathBuilder S330/S310 switch, 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 54.
Shaper Number — Choose the number corresponding to the desired shaper
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 and
should be on a different subnet.
Subnet Mask — Specify a valid subnet mask for the IP address (for example,
255.255.255.0).
IP Encapsulation — Specify the encapsulation type used for sending IP
packets over the ATM link. You must set the near and far ends to the same IP
Encapsulation type.
