This chapter describes the configuration tasks you can perform using the CDM and Cisco EMF software:
You can commission or decommission a selected chassis and enter detailed descriptions of the specific chassis in the Chassis Configuration window. To open this window:
The Chassis Configuration window appears (Figure 3-1).
Step 2 Select the chassis you want from the list box at left.
Step 3 To commission a chassis, click the Commission button in the Action area. When you commission a chassis, its state becomes Normal and alarms are reported against it as they occur.
To decommission a chassis, click the Decommission button in the Action area. All active management on the chassis stops.
Step 4 To enter a detailed description of the selected chassis, click the Additional Description tab.
The Configuration Backup/Restore window contains one tabbed section that allows you to upload the current Cisco DSLAM running configuration from a selected Cisco DSLAM and save it as a file to any Trivial FileTransfer Program (TFTP) server. You can download this file later from the specified TFTP server to a specified Cisco DSLAM.
Regular configuration backups allow recovery in the unlikely event of a hardware failure. For example, if an NI-2 were to fail, a replacement NI-2 could be inserted into the chassis and the configuration data is restored. Changes in configuration data between the last backup and the time of the failure are lost.
 |
Note The backup/restore mechanism is not intended as a "configuration upload and manipulation" facility that permits configuration of the DSLAM (for example, through IOS, followed by subsequent management by the DSLAM). |
To open the Configuration/Backup Restore window:
The Configuration Backup/Restore window appears (Figure 3-2).
Step 2 In the Configuration area, type the TFTP IP address of the Backup Server. Next, click the drop-down arrow beside Backup After Every Action to select either:
|
Note At this time, you must click File > Save to save the information you entered before you click Backup, Restore, or Schedule Backup (in the next step). If you do not save the information you entered, the software uses the information that was last entered and saved instead of the information you just entered. |
Step 3 In the Actions area, click one of the following:
Enter a date (mm/dd/yyyy) and time (hh:mm) for the scheduled backup to take place automatically. To save the new date and time, click the Ok button.
|
Note Backup and Restore occur on a per-chassis basis. If you press the Backup button, all CDM configurations are copied onto the TFTP server. If you select the Restore button, you initiate restoration of the running configuration to a Cisco DSLAM. |
Status
The Status area displays the following parameters:
Time Stamp of last Backup---Time of the last backup.
Backup File Name---Name of the backup file.
The System Log window records, in table format, all events on the device (chassis) that are not user-initiated. Examples of such events include alarms or loss of traffic. These events are device-specific and not initiated by the user.
In the System Log, you can view events of a specified severity. For example, if you select events of the highest possible severity, only events of that severity are displayed. If you select events of the third highest severity, all events of that severity and of higher severity also are displayed. If you select events of the very lowest severity, all events of all severities are displayed.
|
Note User-initiated events are logged in the Command History window (refer to the "Viewing Command History" section for details.) |
To view the System Log window:
The SysLog Messages window appears (Figure 3-4).
Step 2 Select the device for which you want to view system logs from the IOS Host list at left. The corresponding logs appear in the table at right.
Step 3 Click the Maximum Table Entries number in the SysLog Message Details area. Type the number of events you want to see at one time.
Step 4 Click the drop-down arrow next to Max. SysLog Severity. Select the level of severity of events you wish to view.
Debug is the lowest severity and is used primarily by engineers to view errors in the code. The highest severity is Emergency.
Step 5 Click the drop-down arrow next to Notifications Enabled. Select false if alarm notification is turned off; select true if alarm notification is turned on.
The Command History window records, in table format, all configuration changes on the device (chassis) that are user-initiated. For example, the configuration of a chassis and card are recorded as events. You can view these events, including specific information such as the time, and upon which object a change was performed.
To view the Command History window:
The Command Log window appears (Figure 3-5).
Step 2 Select the device for which you want to view command history from the IOS Host list at left. The corresponding details appear in the table at right.
The IOS Image Download window allows you to download a current version of the IOS software image on your device.
To view the IOS Image Download window, proceed as follows:
The IOS Image Download window appears (Figure 3-6).
Step 2 Select the device for which you want to perform an IOS download from the Generic Processor list at left.
Step 3 Type the TFTP (Trivial FileTransfer Program) Server IP Address. This is the address of the TFTP server that contains the IOS image software you want to download.
Step 4 Type the Destination File System name. This can be either Bootflash or Flash.
Step 5 Type the Source File Name. This allows you to specify the IOS image download source file name.
Step 6 Type the Destination File Name. This allows you to specify the name for the file as it is stored in the file system of CDM.
Step 7 You can turn on the Format the destination device before copying? option by clicking the diamond beside it. Select this option if you want to erase the device before the new software is downloaded.
Step 8 You can turn on the Reset device using new image? option by clicking the diamond beside it. Select this option if you want to reset the device to start using the new software.
The Status area displays the date and time of the last download.
