Viewing Status, Configuration, and Performance Data

Viewing Status, Configuration, and Performance Data

This chapter describes how to view status, configuration, and performance data about chassis, modules, and ports on the Cisco 6100 Series system DSLAM chassis. You can retrieve status, configuration, and performance information for objects by opening the associated windows.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Overview of Status and Configuration Windows

To view the status, configuration, and performance data about specific objects on the Cisco 6100 Series system DSLAM, you can open the associated windows in two ways. The first way is to right-click over the module type on the left side of the Map Viewer window to access the object menu for that managed object. An example object menu is shown in Figure 5-1.


Figure 5-1: Example Object Menu


In this object menu, you would click Open Flex Module Status/Configuration/Delete Dialog to open the associated window. The object menus for other modules have similar choices.

From the object menu, you choose the option to open the appropriate status and configuration window. This method is the one used in this chapter.

The other way to access the status and configuration windows is from the Navigation menu, which you can open from the System Dialog window. The Navigation menu is shown in Figure 5-2.


Figure 5-2: Navigation Menu


You can choose from the following Navigation menu items to open status and configuration windows:

Viewing Status, Configuration, and Performance Information about DSLAM Chassis

To view the status, configuration, and performance information about a Cisco 6100 Series system DSLAM chassis, complete the following steps:


Step 1 From the left side of the Map Viewer window, right-click over the chassis name (C6100v30Managed Element---[Name of chassis]) whose status, configuration, and performance you want to view.

The object menu for the managed element, which is shown in Figure 5-3, opens.

This window opens to the System Configuration tab on which you can view the following System Alarm Information:


Viewing Status, Configuration, and Performance Information about Modules and Ports

To view the status, configuration, or performance information for a specific module, you must open the associated window for that module. This section includes instructions for opening status, configuration, and performance windows for each managed object within the C6100v30Managed Element map.


Note Every module whose status you can view includes the same basic information about the type of module and its status. The illustrations in this section may show one particular type of module; however, the information is the same for all modules unless otherwise noted.

The type of module whose status and configuration information you can view can include any one of the following types:

Each status/configuration/delete or status/configuration dialog window contains a Board Info/Status tab and a Slot Info tab.

Viewing a Module Status/Configuration/Delete Dialog

To view status and configuration information about a specific type of module, complete the following steps:


Step 1 From the left side of the Map Viewer window under the Physical view map, right-click C6100v30[Name of Module] to access the object menu.

The object menu shown in Figure 5-8, is for a network interface module.
