Chapter 1

Introduction

What Is in This ChapterThis chapter describes the SPECTRUM Management Module for the Proteon Router (Models DNX300, CNX500, and CNX600). It also provides the model type names assigned to the models in SPECTRUM. The model type name refers to the template used to specify attributes, actions, and associations for device models in SPECTRUM.

Proteon Router Management Module

The Proteon Router Management Module manages Proteon Router devices using the SNMP network management agent and the Management Information Bases (MIBs), included with the management module.

NOTE

If you are running a previous version of SPECTRUM, the following user interface aspects may differ from those in SPECTRUM version 4.0:

¥ Order and names of menu selections

¥ Navigational features (mouse button functionality)

For information about menu selections and navigating within previous versions of SPECTRUM, refer to the SPECTRUM System UserÕs Guide. For information about menu selections and navigating within SPECTRUM version 4.0, refer to the SPECTRUM Views reference.

Proteon Router Management Module

Proteon Router Model Types

Introduction1-2


Proteon Router Model TypesThere are Þve Proteon Router model types supported by SPECTRUM. Four of these model types are described in this manual, the Þfth model type, Rtr_Proteon, is described in the Management Module Guide for the Proteon Router. One generic model type, Router_Proteon, is provided for Proteon Router models without a known corresponding model type designation in SPECTRUM. The Proteon Router model types described in this manual are:

¥ PteonCNX500¥ PteonCNX600¥ PteonDNX300¥ Router_Proteon

Table 1-1 provides the model type names for the Proteon Router model types described in this manual, and a brief description of the physical Proteon Router devices that these models represent.

Table 1-1. Model Type Descriptions

Model Type Name Router Description

PteonCNX500 This model type emulates the Proteon CNX500 Router.

PteonCNX600 This model type emulates the Proteon CNX600 Router.

PteonDNX300 This model type emulates the Proteon DNX300 Router.

Router_Proteon This model type emulates Proteon Router models CNX500, CNX600, and DNX300.

NOTE

The Router_Proteon model type can be used to model the Proteon DNX300, CNX500, and CNX600 Routers; however, if the actual device type is known, use the model type speciÞc to that device. The Rtr_Proteon model type (sold as a separate module) is used to model the Proteon p4100 and p4200 Routers. If the Router_Proteon model type is used to model the p4100 or p4200, the icon will display the correct device type, but all of the data speciÞc to that model will be lost.

9030915E5 Introduction1-3

Proteon Router Applications

Proteon Router ApplicationsThe Proteon Router supports common and Device-speciÞc applications. Common applications are described in the MIB II Applications, Bridging Applications, and Miscellaneous Applications references, and are as follows:

¥ MIB-II (SNMP2_Agent)- ICMP (ICMP_App)- IP (IP2_App)- System (System2_App)- UDP (UDP2_App)

Device-speciÞc applications are described in Chapter 5, Application Views, and are as follows:

¥ Routing (GenRtrApp)- PteonIPRtr (PteonIPApp)- OSPF (OSPF2RtrApp)

Device View

What Is in This ChapterThis chapter describes the Device view for the Proteon II. The Device view for the Proteon Router devices allows you to view the logical representations of the Proteon Router devices and ports. The Device view also provides you with menu bar access to views that monitor and control the Proteon RouterÕs interfaces. The Device view gives an actual representation of the Proteon RouterÕs conÞguration. If the conÞguration changes you see the corresponding change within this view. This change in the view occurs after the modelÕs next polling cycle. Figure 2-1 shows an example of a Proteon Router Device view.

Accessing the Device ViewAccess the Device view using one of the following methods.

¥ Double-click on the Device view button of the Proteon RouterÕs device icon.

¥ Highlight the Proteon RouterÕs device icon and select Device from the Icon Subviews menu.

Proteon Token Ring Application Views

The Proteon Token Ring Application views provide ring and port status information for Proteon Routers.

Proteon Token Ring Performance View

The Proteon Token Ring Performance view presents the following Proteon Router token ring interface group statistics. Double-clicking on a table entry brings up Detail view pie charts.

Isolated Errors

Hard ErrorsThe number of times the router was transmitting or receiving beacon frames (a ring status interrupt with the Hard Error bit set).

Transmit BeaconThe number of times the router posted a ring status interrupt with the Transmit Beacon bit set.

Lobe Wire FaultsThe number of times the router detected an open or short circuit on the lobe wires.

Auto-RemovalThe number of times the router has detected an internal hardware error and removed itself from the ring due to the beaconing auto-removal process.

LineThe number of corrupted frames detected by a particular station port, which indicates an intermittent cable or hardware error. A line error can be caused by the following conditions:

¥ A frame was repeated or duplicated.

¥ A code violation existed between the starting delimiter (SDEL) and the ending delimiter (EDEL).

¥ A code violation existed within a token.

¥ An FCS error existed.

¥ Any of the above conditions existed and the Error Detected Indicator (EDI) was zero.




BurstThe number of signals not accepted by a station port on the ring which indicates a bit encoding error (the absence of transitions for Þve half-bit times between the SDEL and the EDEL).

ARI/FCIThe number of times the router received a frame from an upstream neighbor in which the address recognized indicator (AFI) and/or frame copied indicator (FCI) bits had not been set.

Non-Isolated Errors

Signal LossesThe number of times the router detected a loss of signal on the ring (a ring status interrupt with the signal loss bit set). This results from a broken ring cable, faulty wiring in a concentrator, and a transmitter or receiver malfunction.

Remove Station RequestsThe number of Remove Ring Station MAC frame requests received.

MAC Frame RequestsThe number of remove ring station MAC frame requests received by the router.

Tx/Rx Claim TokensThe number of times the adapter was transmitting or receiving Claim Token MAC frames.

Claim MAC FramesThe number of times the router was transmitting or receiving claim token MAC frames.

Lost FramesThe number of frames that were transmitted on the ring but did not return to the transmitting station. The frame was lost somewhere on the ring but there is no way to pinpoint where. This can be caused by stations entering or leaving the ring.

Receive CongestionsThe number of frames addressed to a speciÞc station that could not be accepted because the station has no available buffer space.

Frame Copy ErrorsThe number of frames addressed to a speciÞc station, with the Frame Status A bits already set to 1, indicating a possible line disturbance or duplicate address on the ring.


Application View5-8


Token ErrorsThe number of times an active monitor has detected an error on the ring that required the transmission of a new token. A token error can be caused by the following conditions:

¥ A token with non-zero priority and a monitor count bit set to 1

¥ A frame and monitor count bit set to 1

¥ No token or frame received within 10ms

¥ The starting delimiter/token sequence had a code violation

Input OverßowThe number of packets received that were larger than the routerÕs buffer size.

Output ErrorsThe number of times that the frame transfer or strip process was in error.

Transmit CongestionsThe number of times that a frame was transmitted, the Address Recognized Indicator (ARI) bit was set, and the Frame Copied Indicator (FCI) was cleared in the Frame Status. This indicates congestion at the receiving node.

Proteon Token Ring Information View

The Proteon Token Ring Information View provides a Port Information Table. Double-clicking on a table entry accesses a Proteon Token Ring Detail View. This view provides two color-coded pie charts showing a breakdown of isolating and non-isolating errors. The following information is provided in the table:

This view provides three color-coded pie charts. Table 5-7 through Table 5-9 provide the IP routing statistical information displayed by each pie chart.

Table 5-7. Packet Breakdown Pie Chart


Delivered IP packets delivered to a higher level protocol.

Forwarded IP packets forwarded.

Transmitted IP packets transmitted.

Errors IP packets received containing errors.

Discarded IP packets discarded.

Table 5-8. Error Breakdown Pie Chart


Header Received datagrams discarded due to errors in their IP headers (time-to-live exceeded, version number mismatch, bad checksum, etc.).

Address Received datagrams discarded due to invalid addresses in the IP headerÕs destination Þeld. If the Proteon Router is not acting as a gateway, this Þeld includes datagrams discarded because the destination address was not a local address.

Routing Application ViewsOSPF Application Views



OSPF Application Views

The OSPF routing application supports the following additional views.

OSPF ConÞguration View

The OSPF ConÞguration view provides conÞguration information for the routerÕs OSPF process. It also allows you to change some of the OSPF conÞguration parameters. The OSPF ConÞguration view is accessed by double-clicking text label (c) on the OSPF2RtrApp icon or highlighting the icon and selecting ConÞguration from the Icon Subviews menu. The OSPF ConÞguration view provides the following information:

Router IDA 32-bit integer uniquely identifying the router in the autonomous system. To ensure uniqueness, this should default to the value of one of the routerÕs IP interface addresses.

Table 5-9. Discard Breakdown Pie Chart


No Routes IP datagrams discarded because no route could be found to transmit them to their destination address.

Unknown Locally addressed IP datagrams received successfully but discarded because of an unknown, or unsupported protocol.

In Discarded Received IP datagrams discarded even though no errors were encountered to prevent their continued processing - such datagrams may have been discarded to increase buffer space.

Out Discarded Transmitted IP datagrams discarded even though no errors were encountered to prevent their continued processing - such datagrams may have been discarded to increase buffer space.

Reassembly IP datagram fragments reassembly failures detected by the IP reassembly algorithm due to time out, errors, etc.

Fragmentation IP datagrams that could not be fragmented by the Proteon Router because their DonÕt Fragment ßag was set.




The administrative status of OSPF in the router. Setting this Þeld to ÒEnabledÓ with the File/Save All Changes feature, enables OSPF on at least one of the interfaces. Setting the Þeld to ÒDisabled,Ó disables OSPF on all interfaces.

Version NumberThe current version number of the OSPF protocol.

Area Border RouterA ßag denoting whether this router is a border router (True or False).

A ßag denoting whether this router is an Autonomous System border router (True or False).

External LS AdvertisementThe number of external link-state advertisements in the link state database.

External LS ChecksumA 32-bit sum of the link-state checksums of the external link state advertisements contained in the link state database. This sum can be used to determine if there has been a change in the routerÕs link state database or to compare the link state database of two routers.

Originated LS AdvertisementsThe number of new link-state advertisements that have been originated. This number increments each time the router originates a new LSA.

LS Ads New InstantiationsThe number of link state advertisements determined to be new instantiations. This number does not include self-originated link state advertisements.

Area Table

The Area Table describes what statistics a default area border router will advertise into a stub area.

Area IDThe 32-bit identiÞer for the stub area. Stub areas have only one point of exit from an area.

Administrative Status

Autonomous Border Router

TOS Support




Auth TypeWhen set to simplepassword (SimplePwd) only those routers with the correct password are allowed to communicate.

AS ExternThe AS Extern indicates whether or not this area will import AS external link state advertisements. If an area does not import AS external link state advertisements, it is a stub area. When the area is not a stub area this feature is set to TRUE and when the area is a stub area it is set to FALSE.

Spf RunsThe Spf Runs indicate the number of times that the intra-area route table has been calculated using this areaÕs link-state database.

Bdr CountThe Bdr Count indicates the total number of area border routers reachable within this area. This is initially zero and is calculated in each SPF pass.

LSA CountThe LSA Count indicates the number of Link State Acknowledgments received and transmitted.

LS AckThe LS Ack speciÞes the number of Link State Acknowledgments (LSAs) received and transmitted.

Area Metric Table

The Area Metric table describes the metrics that a default area border router will advertise into a stub area.

Area IDThe 32-bit identiÞer for the stub area.

TOSThe type of service associated with the metric.

MetricThe metric value applied at the indicated type of service.

StatusThe status of the Area Metric table entry (valid or invalid).

LS Database

The Link State Database contains the link state advertisements from the areas that the router is attached to.




Area IDThe 32-bit identiÞer of the area from which the link state advertisement was received.

TypeThe type of the link state advertisement. Table 5-10 shows the possible types.

LS IDThe Link State ID is a Link State Type speciÞc Þeld containing either a router ID or an IP Address. The Link State ID identiÞes the piece of the routing domain described by the advertisement.

Router IDA 32-bit number that uniquely identiÞes the originating router in the autonomous system.

SequenceA 32-bit integer used to detect old and duplicate link state advertisements. A larger sequence number indicates a more recent advertisement.

AgeThe age of the link state advertisement in seconds.

ChecksumThe checksum of the complete contents of the advertisement excluding the age. Excluding the age allows the age to be incremented without having to update the checksum.

AdvertisementThe entire link state advertisement including its header.

Address Range Table

The Address Range table provides a range of IP Address and network mask pairs.

Interface Table

The Interface table provides the following information speciÞc to the OSPF interfaces.

IP AddressThe IP Address of this OSPF interface.

Address Less IfThis Þeld indicates whether the interface is addressed or addressless. Interfaces with an IP Address display a value of Ò0.Ó Interfaces having no IP Address display that interfaceÕs index.

Area IDA 32-bit integer uniquely identifying the area to which the interface connects. Area ID 0.0.0.0 is used for the OSPF backbone.




TypeThe OSPF interface type. For broadcast LANs, such as 802.3 and 803.5, this Þeld will read ÒbroadcastÓ. For X.25, Frame Relay, and similar technologies, this Þeld will read ÒnbmaÓ. For links that are point to point, this Þeld will read ÒpointToPointÓ.

Administrative StateThe administrative status of the OSPF interface. ÒEnabledÓ indicates that neighbor relationships may be formed on the interface and the interface will be advertised as an internal route to an area. ÒDisabledÓ indicates that the interface is external to OSPF.

PriorityThis OSPF interfaceÕs priority. In multi-access networks, this Þeld is used in the designated router election algorithm. A value of Ò0Ó indicates that this router is not eligible to become the designated router on this network. If this value is the same as another router, the Router ID will be used as a tie breaker.

Transmit DelayThe estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a link-state update packet over this interface.
