Introduction

This section introduces the SPECTRUM Device Management documentation for NBR devices.

This introduction to the NBR documentation contains the following information:

• Purpose and Scope• Required Reading• Supported Devices (Page 5)• The SPECTRUM Model (Page 6)

Purpose and ScopeUse this documentation as a guide for managing NBR devices with the SPECTRUM management module. The documentation describes the icons, menus, and views that enable you to remotely monitor, configure, and troubleshoot NBR devices through software models in your SPECTRUM database.

Only information specific to the supported management modules is included under this topic. For general information about device management using SPECTRUM and for explanation of basic SPECTRUM functionality

and navigation techniques, refer to the documentation listed under Required Reading.

Required ReadingTo use this documentation effectively, you must be familiar with the information covered by the other SPECTRUM online documentation topics listed below.

• Getting Started with SPECTRUM for Operators

• Getting Started with SPECTRUM for Administrators

• How To Manage Your Network with SPECTRUM

• SPECTRUM Views• SPECTRUM Menus• SPECTRUM Icons

I n t r o d u c t i o n S u p p o r t e d D e v i c e s


Supported DevicesThe SPECTRUM management module SM-CSI1011 currently allows you to model different types of NBR devices as described below.

BRtrCSINBR620: A Cabletron Systems Six-Port Intelligent Bridging Routing Module supporting two Bridging Routing Interface Module (BRIM) interfaces and four Ethernet Port Interface Modules (EPIMs).

The other two models, NBR-420 and the NBR-220, use the same model type as the NBR-620, BRtrCSINBR620. The NBR-420 has one BRIM interface and two EPIMs. The NBR-220 has two EPIMs and does not support UPS or Modems. Once the model type has been added, the device is queried and the appropriate number of ports are displayed.

The NBR-620 is a multi-port intelligent bridging module.The NBR-620 has two Bridging/Routing Interface Module (BRIM) slots. A BRIM performs the same bridging functions as an EPIM: it transfers packets between different channels. However, unlike EPIMs, BRIMs bridge these packets from one transmission type to another (e.g., Ethernet to FDDI network backbones, etc.). Possible BRIMs are as follows:

BRIM-F6: FDDI Dual Attached Station (DAS) connection (currently supported)

BRIM-E6: Ethernet module with selectable media connections

BRIM-W6: Wide Area Network connection

BRIM-T6: Token Ring connection

BRIM-A6: Asynchronous Transfer Mode connection

I n t r o d u c t i o n T h e S P E C T R U M M o d e l


The SPECTRUM ModelSPECTRUM uses a single device model type, BRtrCSINBr620, for modeling any of the supported NBR devices. BRtrCSINBr620 models are represented in SpectroGRAPH views by Device icons. As Figure 1 shows, the appearance of the Device icon varies slightly depending on the kind of view it appears in.

Figure 1: Small and Large Device Icons

Figure 2 shows a portion of a Topology view in which the device icon representing the models appears surrounded by icons representing the network entities which the device connects-in this case two Ethernet LANs and an Off-Page

Reference icon representing a Wide Area Link to a corporate network.

Figure 2: Device Icon in Topology View

Through its double-click zones and its Icon Subviews menu, the Device icon is your starting point for accessing the views and other displays such as those listed in the Tasks section immediately following this introduction.

Device Views

This section describes the Device views and subviews available for models of NBR series devices in SPECTRUM.

Device views use icons and labels to represent the modeled device and its components, such as modules, ports, and applications. There are two types of Device views for these models.

• Chassis Device View (Page 9)• Interface Device View (Page 14)• Physical Device View (Page 19)

The Chassis View displays a logical view of the NBR-620 device and its interfaces. From this view you can access performance, configuration, and status information about the bridge, ethernet and BRIM ports.

The Interface View displays a logical view of the NBR-620’s interfaces and provides access to information on their performance, status, and configuration.

The Physical View displays a physical representation of the device. This view provides access to module information only.

Chassis Device ViewThe Chassis Device View’s representation of the NBR-620 includes smaller icons representing the ports and applications of the NBR-620. These port and application representations provide access to detailed information about the module, the repeater stack, bridging, and the ports. Figure 3 displays a detail view of the NBR Chassis (Logical) Device View’s logical module representation and the menu selections available by clicking the right mouse button on each zone of the module.

FDDI Port Configuration ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Logical FDDI Port Icon within the Chassis Device view, select Port Configuration View.

The FDDI Port Configuration View provides information concerning the configuration of the FDDI port.

Port Configuration View BannerThe Port Configuration View banner displays the following information.

Model NameThe FDDI SMT chassis model name.

Network AddressThe IP address of the FDDI SMT.

SMT.PortThe left number represents the FDS SMT number, and the number to the right of the decimal point represents the port index.

Port ManagementThe Port Management section of the FDDI Port Configuration View provides the following information:

Port ActionThis field allows you to enable/disable the port. The state returns to Other once the port has been enabled/disabled.

Port State The status of this port. Possible states are: disabled, connecting, standby, and active.

Port TypeThe type of port. Possible port types are: A_Port, B_Port, Slave, or Master.

Port ClassThe class of the port. Possible states are: multi-mode, single-mode1, single-mode2, sonet, low-cost fiber, and twisted pair.

Link Error Rate EstimateThe link error rate estimate is a cumulative long-term average of the bit error rate, which represents the quality of the physical link. The link error rate estimate is computed when the port is connected and every 10 seconds thereafter. It ranges from 10-4 to 10-15 and is reported as a whole integer. For example, if the port’s link error rate estimate is computed to be 10-5, the value reported in this field would be 5, which represents an actual rate of 1,250 bit errors per second. A lower link error rate estimate indicates a higher bit error rate.

C o n f i g u r a t i o n V i e w s S M T D e v i c e C o n f i g u r a t i o n V i e w


Link Error Monitor CountThe aggregate link error monitor count. This count is set to zero on station power up and increments each time the port’s link error monitor detects an error. An increasing link error monitor count usually indicates a problem with the connectors or the cable between this port and the node.

Link Error Rate CutoffThe link error rate threshold at which a link connection is flagged as faulty and the port disabled by SMT. The default link error rate cutoff threshold is 7, which represents 12.5 bit errors per second. This value can be changed.

Link Error Rate AlarmThe link error rate threshold which, if exceeded generates an alarm for the port. The default link error rate alarm threshold is 8, which represents 1.25 bit errors per second. This value can be changed.

Link Error Monitor Reject CountThe link error monitor count of the times the link has been rejected.

SMT Device Configuration ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu of the FddiSMT Application Icon in the Application View, select Configuration

Ring States Description

Isolated The concentrator is not attached to the ring.

Non-Op The concentrator is attempting to enter the ring.



MAC ConfigurationThe actual configuration of the station. Table 13 shows the possible configurations. Ring-Op The ring is operational.

Detect The claim/beacon process of the FDDI ring protocol has exceeded 1 second. This indicates a potential problem.

Non-Op-Dup The ring failed to complete the claim/beacon process because a duplicate FDDI address has been detected.

Ring-Op-Dup The ring is operational but a duplicate FDDI address has been detected.

Directed The claim/beacon process did not complete within 9 seconds. The concentrator is now sending directed beacons to indicate a problem.

Trace A problem has been detected with the station or its upstream neighbor. A trace is being sent to notify the upstream neighbor of the problem. The concentrator and all stations between the concentrator and its upstream neighbor can perform self-tests.

SMT InformationThis section of the SMT Device Configuration View provides configuration information on the FDDI SMT. This configuration information is as follows:

SMT VersionThe version of SMT (Station Management) running on this concentrator.

OBS PresentIndicates whether an OBS (Optical Bypass Switch) is connected to this concentrator.

T-Notify (sec)The timer value, in seconds, used in Neighbor Notification Protocol. The allowed range is 2-30 seconds.

C_Wrap_A The primary and secondary paths are joined internally in the station and wrapped to the A port. Regarding the token flow, all of the resources on the secondary path precede those of the primary path.

C_Wrap_B The primary and secondary paths are joined internally in the station and wrapped to the B port. Regarding the token flow, all of the resources on the secondary path precede those of the primary path.

C_Wrap_S The primary and secondary paths are joined internally in the station and wrapped to the S port. Regarding the token flow, all of the resources on the secondary path precede those of the primary path.

Thru The primary path enters the A port and emerges from the B port. The secondary path enters the B port and emerges from the A port.

Table 13: SMT MAC Configurations



T-Req (milli sec)The TTRT (Target Token Rotation Time) bid, in milliseconds, made by this concentrator.

T-Neg (milli sec)The winning TTRT bid, in milliseconds, on the ring.

TVX (milli sec)The valid transmission time, in milliseconds.

Router RedundancyRouter Redundancy enables SPECTRUM to contact the device through an alternate port in the event of a primary port failure. See the SPECTRUM Views documentation for further information.


Performance Views

This section provides brief descriptions of the Performance views available for the NBR devices in SPECTRUM.

Performance views display performance statistics in terms of a set of transmission attributes, e.g., cell rates, frame rates, % error, etc. A typical view is shown in Figure 9. The instantaneous condition of each transmission attribute is recorded in a graph. The statistical information for each attribute is presented in the adjacent table.

Generally, you determine performance at the device level through Performance views accessed from the Device and Application icons. You determine performance at the port/interface level through Performance views accessed from Interface icons.

For more information on Performance views, refer to the SPECTRUM Views documentation.

The following paragraphs list the performance attributes displayed for each Performance view supported by this management module.

Application Views

This section describes the main Application view and the associated application-specific subviews available for models of NBR devices in SPECTRUM.

When a device model is created, SPECTRUM automatically creates models for each of the major and minor applications supported by the device. The Application view identifies all of these application models, shows their current condition status, and provides access to application-specific subviews.

Figure 10 shows an Application view in its default mode (Icon) where each of the application models. is represented by an Application icon (see Figure for a close-up). The Application icons are arranged hierarchically under a Device icon, with major applications in the top row and their respective minor applications stacked directly below. If you prefer to see applications displayed by name only, in a single vertical list, select View > Mode > List.

Application IconsWhen the Application view is in Icon mode, each of the application models is represented by an Application icon. Double -clicking the Model Name label (a) at the top of the icon opens the associated Model Information view--see. For some applications, the Model Type label (c) at the bottom of the icon is also a double-click zone, which opens an application-specific view. Any views accessible through these double-click zones are also accessible from the Application icon’s Icon Subviews menu.
