Key Features of RADWIN BDU Chapter 1

cept to create high-capacity networks where each site enjoys its own dedicated connection.

The BDU is an additional component in the Multiple Point-to-Point architec-ture. It enhances ease of installation and maintenance, as all co-located ODUs receive Power-over-Ethernet directly from the BDU. Traffic is then aggregated towards the uplink connections, which can be TDM or Ethernet based (as illustrated in Figure 1-2, the uplink can also be based on RAD-WIN’s wireless products such as WinLink™ 1000 or RADWIN 2000).

Figure 1-2: Typical Multiple Point-to-Point deployment with wireless uplink

Key Features of RADWIN BDUSome of the outstanding features of the BDU are as follows:

» TDM / Ethernet Uplink Connections

Up to two Uplink connections can be used, aggregating traffic from the access side, while allowing the flexibility to use either Ethernet or TDM in each one of them. The uplink can also be wireless-based by connecting a WinLink™ 1000 or RADWIN 2000 radio link to these Uplink connections.

» Up to Eight WinLink™ 1000 ODUs

Up to eight WinLink™ 1000 ODUs can be connected to distribute traffic from a Multiple Point-to-Point Hub site to remote sites, provid-ing Power-over-Ethernet to the ODUs. They are configurable as RADWIN ODU ports or 802.3af.

» Full Layer-2 Switching Capabilities

The BDU is a fully managed switch, supporting access control, VLAN IDs and rate-limiting per port. It provides the quality-of-service man-agement required for advanced data services.

» Auxiliary Port for an External Device


Key Features of RADWIN BDU Chapter 1

The BDU Auxiliary port is configurable by the user to be either an ODU port or a standard 802.3af PoE port feeding power to external devices such as video surveillance camera.

» Simple Installation and Management

Being an all-in-one device, the BDU reduces the operational expenses incurred by installing and maintaining several devices with different capabilities. It is fully manageable through a web-based application, the BDU Manager. It can also be managed from a Telnet session or SNMP.

» Configurable as a VLAN Switch

The BDU supports up to 64 VLANs at a time.

» The BDU is recognized by and manageable by RADWIN NMS

Figure 1-3: Simple LAN with a BDU managed by RADWIN NMS

The BDU has IP address 192.168.2.110. The attached ODU’s appear in the upper panel with IP addresses 192.168.2.101 and 102.

Note

This manual assumes that users configuring the BDU as a VLAN switch are familiar with IEEE 802.1q concepts and terminology.


General Characteristics Chapter 1

For further information about RADWIN NMS, contact RADWIN Cus-tomer Support.

General Characteristics

The BDU contains seven 10/100BaseT ODU ports, one 10/100BaseT Auxil-iary port and two Combo Uplink ports. The unit is powered by a 48VDC 120 Watt external source.

Each Combo Uplink port includes a Gigabit SFP and 10/100/1000BaseT RJ-45 connectors, of which only one can be “linked” at a time.

By default, the seven ODU ports are specially configured with PoE “force on” allowing access to RADWIN ODU and similar devices. They can all be recon-figured as 802.3af ports.

The Auxiliary port can feed standard IEEE 802.3af PoE devices as well as RADWIN ODUs.BDU Ports and LEDs

RADWIN BDU SFP Support Chapter 1

RADWIN BDU SFP SupportThe Small Form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver, is a compact, hot-plug-gable transceiver used in communications applications.

The SFP transceiver technology allows almost any protocol converter imple-mentation with seamless integration to a standard Ethernet switch.

The RADWIN BDU supports SFP transceivers to provide and support several network applications.

Any standard GE (Giga Ethernet) SFP transceiver can be plugged into the BDU. These SFPs support various Ethernet interfaces. For example a fiber optic interface can be used.

In addition, System on SFP transceivers can be used, supporting a “protocol converter” concept. The main application for such SFP transceivers is “Ethernet over TDM” providing full duplex Ethernet Remote Bridge over E1/T1 or over E3/T3.

TerminologyIn the BDU Manager, the word Copper may appear in tabs or dialogs. It is synonymous for Ethernet over an RJ-45 connection.

The word Backbone is sometimes used instead of Uplink

Chapter 2

Hardware InstallationThis chapter sets out the requirements and procedures for the hardware installation of a RADWIN BDU. It is intended to guide qualified field techni-cians.

The RADWIN BDU is a 19" 1U desktop or rack mountable device that takes its power from an external regulated power supply (not supplied with the BDU) in the range of -45 to -57 Volts DC, 120 Watts.

Safety Practices

GroundingAll RADWIN products should be grounded during operation. In addition the earth lug on the BDU should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equip-ment should be mounted only in earthed racks and cabinets.

Further, you should -

• Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last

• Never connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment• Ensure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting

the ground

General• Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecom-

munication lines, you should remove jewelry or any other metallic objects that may come into contact with energized parts.

• Use the correct tools and materials(see page 2-2 below).

The RADWIN BDU can be managed from a Web browser, Telnet or SNMP. This chapter shows how to manage the BDU using the BDU Manager through a Web browser.

Pre-requisitesThe BDU Manager is Java-based. Your computer may use any operating system, provided that your browser is Java applet enabled. It should also have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6 or later installed. Java is freeware and can be downloaded from here:

http://www.java.com

Using a Web Browser to Launch the BDU ManagerTo launch the BDU Manager:

1. Ensure that your computer is connected or has access to the same net-work as that of the BDU to be managed.

2. Launch your Web browser. In the browser address bar type the IP address of the BDU unit to be accessed and press Enter. It may take a few seconds for the Java applet to load the BDU Manager. Once com-pleted, then the Log on window appears as shown in Figure 3-1.

Note

For a direct connection, connect the Auxiliary port of the BDU to an Ethernet port on your computer.

NoteThe factory default IP address of the BDU is 10.0.0.220.

Features

Global ConfigurationThis dialog sets Learning, Aging Time and Priority Policy.

The Ethernet switch Learning is always enabled and cannot be configured.

The BDU maintains an updated MAC address look-up table by continuously learning and flooding. The BDU can be configured to remove unused addresses or those that are not being used for a specified period (using aging time).

Each new look-up table entry is given a timestamp. Every time a packet is received from a node, the timestamp is updated. The entry is erased from the look-up table after the user configurable aging time with no activity from that network device (MAC address) has elapsed.

Setting too short an aging time can cause addresses to be prematurely removed from the table. Then when the BDU receives a packet for that des-tination, it floods the packet to all ports. This unnecessary flooding can impact the network performance. Setting too long an aging time can cause the address table to be filled with unused addresses; it can cause delays in establishing connectivity when a network device is moved to a different port.

Address migration capabilities – when a network device is moved to a dif-ferent port in the same BDU, the move is identified by the BDU after the first transmission from the network device is received. The MAC table is immediately updated with no relation to the aging time.


VLAN Configuration Chapter 4

Figure 4-6: Global Configuration dialog

In the Global Configuration dialog, aging can be configured as shown below (learning is always enabled).

To change the switch aging time:


2. Click Features. |

3. In the Global Configuration dialog, click on the Aging value. The Aging value list appears.

4. Select the desired value.

Aging time can be set to 16 seconds, 300 seconds (5 minutes), 1800 sec-onds (30 minutes) or No Aging.

The factory default aging setting is 300 seconds.

VLAN ConfigurationStill inside the Features panel, the next five dialogs deal with various aspects of VLAN configuration. The BDU supports 802.1q VLAN and Port Based VLAN.

VLAN ModeVLAN Mode selects the VLAN operational scheme of the switch between VLAN Disabled (factory default), 802.1q VLAN and Port based VLAN.

To configure VLANs:

1. Do the detailed VLAN configuration using the relevant Tabs: 802.1q VLAN Membership, 802.1q Port Settings, Port Based VLAN and Transparent VID.

2. Enable the VLAN mode

The VLAN type must be selected from the VLAN Mode option.

Note

No Aging means the MAC addresses in the look-up table will not be removed automatically



Figure 4-7: VLAN Mode dialog

802.1q VLAN MembershipThe 802.1q VLAN Membership dialog defines the VLAN IDs (VIDs) and the port membership for each of the VLANs. A BDU may be configured with up to 64 VLANs at a time, with VIDs ranging from 1 to 4095.

Figure 4-8: 802.1q VLAN Membership dialog

To configure VLAN membership

1. Click the sequence Features | 802.1q VLAN Membership.

2. Click the Add button. A prompt window will appear, requesting a New VLAN ID number. Enter a number not currently used by an existing VLAN, then click OK.



3. The new VLAN appears on the 802.1q VLAN Membership dialog. Check all the ports to be included in the VLAN and then click Apply.

To delete a VLAN:

• Select that VLAN from the list in the 802.1q VLANs dialog and click Delete. The VLAN is deleted without a verification prompt.

To edit a VLAN:

• Simply click on the ports to add / remove from the VLAN (to check or uncheck them), then click Apply.

802.1q Port Settings

Figure 4-9: 802.1q Port Settings dialog

The 802.1q Port Settings dialog is used for the VLAN configuration of specific ports. Each port can be configured for:

• A unique default VLAN ID• Tag-Insert / Tag-Remove functionality on egressing and ingressing

frames, and double Tag support• VLAN filtering on ingressing frames• Default Priority – sets the priority level of ingressing frames arriving

without a priority level. There are four priority levels: 0 (low) to 3 (high).

To Configure VLAN Default IDs and Tag Remove/ Insert per port:

1. Click the sequence Features | 802.1q Port Settings to assign the default VID (VLAN ID) for each port (any value between 1 and 4095).

2. Set the tag operation for each port by check marking [v] in the appropri-ate box.

Note

Only one of the options (Egress Tag Remove or Egress Tag Insert) can be assigned to a port at any one time. The Tag settings are always operational, regardless of the VLAN filtering setting.



T

To secure access from the managing computer:

• It is recommended to use VLAN filtering for the managing computer (referred to as MNGT).

Port Based VLANStatic VLAN assignments are created by assigning ports to a VLAN. With port-based VLAN membership, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN inde-

able 4-1: 802.1q VLAN Tag Configuration

Selected [ ] Deselected [ ]Ingress Tag Remove

Removes 802.3ac tag (or double tag) on tagged ingressing frames. Ingressing frames are not modified.

Egress Tag Remove

Removes tag from egressing frames. Frames are transmitted unmodified.

Egress Tag Insert Adds tag to untagged egressing frames (adds the default VLAN ID assigned to the port through which the frame entered the switch). Tagged frames are not modified.

Frames are transmitted unmodified.

Egress Double Tag Support

Double Tag on Egress. When Egress Tag Insert is selected, always adds a tag on egress. Tag will be added to both untagged frames and to tagged frames (double tag).

Double tag not active on egress.

VLAN Filtering Filters frames for the VLAN membership of the marked port. Frames are received unfiltered.

Note

• VLAN filtering operates on the port’s incoming and outgoing frames. A port whose VLAN Filtering is enabled will only forward a frame if it is a tagged frame of the VLAN that the port is a member of. A non-VLAN frame will be treated as if having the default VID of its ingress port.

• To avoid VLAN lockout, it is necessary to configure the VLAN mem-bership (using the 802.1q VLANs tab) before enabling the VLAN fil-tering.

• Frames without VLAN Tags or frames who's Tags are removed on Ingress (Ingress Tag Remove) will be filtered (if the VLAN filtering is enabled on both the switch and the specific port) according to the default VLAN ID (default VID) assigned to the originating port.

Note

• Operating management VLAN filtering requires that the management traffic on the network includes a management VLAN tag. This will avoid flooding the management by broadcast / multicast traffic through the BDU.

• If the management traffic does not include a VLAN tag, the manage-ment VLAN filtering can still be used by assigning a default VID, iden-tical to the defined management VLAN number, to the port from which the management traffic is received.

• MNGT VLAN filtering overrules Remote Management Path (see Chapter 6).



pendent of the network device attached to the port. This means all devices attached to the port should be members in the same VLAN.

The port configuration is static and cannot be automatically changed to another VLAN without manual reconfiguration.

To Configure Port Based VLAN:

1. Click Features and open the Port Based VLAN.

2. Check the appropriate ports.

Figure 4-10: Port Based VLAN selection

Transparent VID

Figure 4-11: Transparent VID dialog


VLAN Management Grace Time Chapter 4

Transparent VID is a further enhancement to VLAN tag configuration. This function is useful to support an application or device that does not accept tagged frames on an otherwise tagged network.

The Transparent VID function defines a unique “transparent” VID to selected port(s). If the Egress Tag Insert is selected on those port(s) and Transparent VID is enabled, a tag will not be added to frames bearing the “transparent” VID when egressing. Those frames will be transmitted untagged while all other frames, bearing other VIDs, will be transmitted tagged.

To Configure Transparent VID:

1. Click Features and open the Transparent VID dialog.

2. Check Enable to activate the Transparent VID feature.

3. Enter the VID and check the appropriate ports.

VLAN Management Grace TimeAll RADWIN products supporting VLAN provide a two minute “grace time” after power-up to re-configure the BDU. It works like this:

1. For two minutes after power-up, you may re-configured the BDU in both VLAN and non-VLAN mode.

2. During this period, the BDU handles both VLAN and non-VLAN requests.

3. After two minutes, the BDU responds only to VLAN request

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Chapter 5

Power over Ethernet (PoE)The BDU supports PoE on all ODU and AUX ports, with maximum PoE power capability of 13.75W per port (total 110W).

If a port is configured to operate in 802.3af mode, when an 802.3af pow-ered device is connected to the port, the port detects and classifies the device according to the 802.3af standard and activates the power accord-ingly. If the powered device is not 802.3af compliant, it will not be recog-nized and the port will not supply power to the device.

If a port is configured to operate in Force PoE On mode, 48V PoE power is always available.

The seven ODU ports are pre-configured to PoE Force On mode, while the AUX port can be configured to any of the PoE modes.

The monitoring and management of the PoE operation of the ODU/AUX ports is done from the PoE dialog in the Port View window.

PoE Management and Operation DialogFrom the PoE dialog select the PoE mode (status), configure the disconnect mode and monitor general PoE characteristics and power consumption.

The display will differ depending on whether the port is defined as ODU or AUX. For an AUX port, nothing may be changed:

Figure 5-4: Port View - PoE tab for an ODU port

NoteThe external power supply should be capable of providing at least 120W.

Warning

Care should be taken that only WinLink™ 1000 ODUs be connected to the ODU ports. Other devices connected to the ODU ports may be damaged.


PoE Management and Operation Dialog Chapter 5

Figure 5-5: Port View - PoE tab for an AUX port

Status: The left selection button selects the PoE operation mode (status) and the right button shows the operational status whether or not power is being supplied to the port.

The operational mode (status) can be selected between: Off; 802.3af On; Force On.

Figure 5-6: Port View window, PoE dialog, Mode/Status

An ON indication on the right Status list box appears when a device is detected and the power is provided to that port, or if the port is in PoE Force Open mode.

An OFF indication is when power is not provided to the port due to several possible reasons:

• The admin Status is OFF (PoE is disabled on the port)• Nothing is connected to an 802.3af port• The device connected to an 802.3af port is not an 802.3af compliant

device

Disconnect Mode (relevant when in 802.3af On): Selecting between AC Disconnect or DC Disconnect mode in the port configuration window. Selecting DC Disconnect will enable detection only of DC PDs (the most common type of PDs currently). Selecting AC Disconnect will enable detec-tion only of AC type PDs (mostly old PDs). The default is DC Disconnect.

Type/PD class: Indicates the PoE load type and class. If the PoE mode is “802.3af On”, it indicates the 802.3af power classifications of the device connected to the BDU port. If the PoE mode is “Force On”, it indicates “Not Available”.


QoS Chapter 5

Consumption: Displays the actual power being consumed by the powered device connected to the port.

Voltage: Displays the PoE voltage supplied to the port.

QoSThe packet flow through each port is defined by the Ingress / Egress Policy. The BDU provides three criteria that determine the policy, described in more detail below:

• QoS priority information

• Rate Limit

QoS Priority DefinitionsThe BDU uses an advanced non-blocking, four priority output port queue architecture. Frames exit the unit using a weighted, fair queuing scheme in which the weights 8, 4, 2, 1 are applied to the four priority output queues: eight frames from priority 3 egress, followed by four frames from priority 2, etc. Ingress frames are queued to the proper output queues according to their priority. The frame priority is determined either in the 802.3ac tag or in the TOS field.

Figure 5-7: Port View screen – QoS dialog

To define QoS priority criteria:

1. In the BDU Manager main window, click on the port of interest. The Port View window appears.

2. From the Port View window, click the QoS tab and set the port priority forwarding according to the following parameters.

• Ingress 802.3ac – Enables queuing of ingressing frames with 802.3ac tags containing 802.1p priority information to be queued accordingly


Rate Limit Definition Chapter 5

• Ingress ToS (Type of Service) - Enables queuing of ingressing frames with IPv4 TOS / DiffServ or IPv6 Traffic Class priority to be queued accordingly

Rate Limit DefinitionFrames enter (ingress) the port at the rate limit allocated to their identified priority level. Frames without a priority level, enter the switch at the rate limit assigned to the port (default PRI parameter). All frames exit (egress) the port at the Egress rate limit.

The BDU supports progressive Ingress rate limits for four priorities, where the rate for each priority level is relative to the previous level. Only Priority-0 is assigned a value.

For example, if Priority 0 rate is set to 8 Mbps, then priority 1 rate may be the same or double that of priority 0, priority 2 rate is the same or double that of priority 1, etc.

To define QoS Rate Limits:

• In the BDU Manager main window, click on the port of interest. The Port View window appears.

The QoS configuration options are shown in Table 5-4:

The BDU also supports different Rate limit criteria when counting packets. The switch can count all packets, broadcasts, multicasts and flooded uni-casts in various combinations.

If both Ingress IEEE 802.3ac and Ingress ToS are enabled, and a frame arrives with both types of priorities set, the frame will be queued according to the IEEE 802.3ac information.

Table 5-4: QoS configuration options

Rate limit parameters Available options

Egress rate Unlimited or Limited to one of the defined rates between 64Kbps to 80Mbps in 28 steps.

Ingress PRI 0 (low) Unlimited or Limited to one of the defined rates between 64Kbps to 80Mbps in 28 steps.

Ingress PRI 1 Same as PRI 0 or double (i.e. unlimited up to 160 Mbps depending on PRI 0 settings).

Ingress PRI 2 Same as PRI 1 or double (i.e. unlimited up to 320 Mbps depending on PRI 0 & 1 settings).

Ingress PRI 3 (high) Same as PRI 2 or double (i.e. unlimited up to 640 Mbps depending on PRI 0, 1 & 2 settings)

Note

It is recommended that Rate limit configuration of the BDU take into account the capacity of the radio links connected to it.

SecuritySecuring Management Access

To avoid tedious repetition, it will be assumed that you are logged on to the BDU Manager as Installer.

There are three ways to remotely manage the BDU: through a Web browser, SNMP, or Telnet. The BDU provides various advanced methods for securing the remote management access. The management access security features, provided for the different management applications, are listed in Table 6-1 below:

Community String / PasswordsThe community string is a string of up to 15 alphanumeric characters, part of the SNMP packet. The SNMP agent in the BDU will respond only to SNMP packets whose community string matches that of its configuration. SNMP defines different community strings for Get and Set commands. The factory default community settings of the device are:

Yes Yes Yes


User Access Levels Chapter 6

SNMP Get community – public

SNMP Set community – netman

These community strings may be modified through the BDU Manager (Installer level) or using the Telnet commands: set get community and set set community (see Chapter 9).

User Access LevelsThe BDU defines three user access levels: Observer, Operator and Installer. For details see Chapter 3.

Management Access ListThe management access list restricts management access only to managers whose IP address is listed in the BDU Access List. Up to eight entries can be defined.

When the access list is enabled, the BDU may be reached only by remote manager(s) whose IP address is listed in the access list. When the access list is disabled, the device may be reached from any IP address.

To define the Management Access List:

1. From the BDU Manager main window, click Management.

2. In that Management window, click the Access List tab.

Figure 6-1: Management and Access List dialogs

3. Click Add, type the IP address of the managing computer from which access will be allowed in the new window and click OK. Repeat for every additional IP address to be added (up to eight).

Note

The access list may also be managed through Telnet “show / add / delete acl entry" command (see Chapter 9).

Note

Lock-out protection:

• The access list security cannot be enabled unless the IP address of the active managing computer exists in the list.

• The IP address of the active managing computer cannot be deleted as long as the Enable access list is check-marked.


Remote Management (NMS) Path Chapter 6

4. Verify that the IP address of the managing computer (issuing the com-mand) is on the Access List.

5. Click on the field at the bottom right, select Enable.

6. Click Apply. On the verification window that appears, click Yes.

To delete an address:

• Select the address from the list and click Delete.

Remote Management (NMS) PathThe in-band management path can be secured by limiting the remote access through either ODU/AUX ports, Uplink ports or all ports.

By default, the Remote Management path is not secured, allowing access from all ports.

To change the Remote Management Path:

1. From the BDU Manager main window, click Management.

2. In the Management window, Remote Management Path dialog, click on the selection box and select the desired option.

Figure 6-2: Changing the Remote Management Path

3. Click Apply.

• User Port(s) only – access is allowed only through the ODU/AUX ports (ports 1-8)

• Uplink Port(s) only – access is allowed only through the Uplink ports (1-2)

• All Ports – Secure NMS Path option is disabled and access is allowed through all ports

Securing Management Access using VLANSecuring management access using VLAN isolates and secures manage-ment traffic and avoids management flooding by irrelevant traffic.

You can assign a dedicated VLAN to the management traffic. Only frames belonging to that specific VLAN, received from ports belonging to the same VLAN membership group, can communicate with the managing computer.

NoteMGMT VLAN filtering (see Chapter 4) overrules Remote Management Path.


Securing Network Access Chapter 6

This type of VLAN configuration provides an additional level of security to management access.See page 4-6 for VLAN configuration.

Securing Network AccessThe BDU provides enhanced network security features by introducing advanced port based network access control. The BDU supports port based MAC access security as well as optional 802.1x port based network access security.

MAC Access SecuritySecuring User Access to the NetworkThe MAC access security prevents the operator from connecting unauthor-ized network equipment to the AUX ports of the BDU. The ODU ports are preset without MAC security, whereas the AUX port has MAC security config-uration options.

The MAC security feature is configurable only from the Installer level. MAC security has two operational modes, High Security Level and Low Security Level.

High Security LevelHigh security allows association of only one specific MAC address per port. If the port attempts to learn different MAC addresses, it will immediately be blocked. The port will unblock automatically only when a permitted device is connected and the aging time has elapsed for all other MAC addresses. High security ensures single device access to the port.

Low Security LevelLow security allows access of multiple network devices to one port, pro-vided that at least one of the devices connected to the port has a valid MAC address. When none of the devices is recognized by its MAC address, the port is blocked.

Note

The Low Security Level blocks the port after the aging time of the valid MAC address has elapsed. It is important to keep this in mind when configuring the aging time parameters.


MAC Access Security Chapter 6

Figure 6-3: AUX Port View Window, MAC Security dialog

ODU ports are configured with MAC security level.

Figure 6-4: ODU Port View Window, MAC Security

MAC Security Configuration Fields:

Mode displays the MAC security operational mode (disabled, low security or high security).

Status displays the port security status (disabled, port forwarding, or port blocked). When Disable appears in the Status field, this means that the MAC security is disabled. When Port Forwarding or Port Blocked appears in the Status field, this means that the MAC security is enabled and that the specific port is either forwarding or blocked according to the MAC security configuration.

MAC Address 1-3 list displays MAC addresses that can be selected as the valid MAC address.

Approved MAC field displays the MAC address to be secured.


MAC Access Security Chapter 6

Figure 6-5: AUX Port View - MAC Security dialog and Approved MAC selec-tion

To Configure MAC Access Security (AUX port):

1. In the BDU Manager main window, click on the AUX port. The Port View window appears. Click the MAC Security tab.

2. In the Approved MAC list select the MAC Address to be the valid MAC address.

3. Open the Mode list and set the mode according to the following parame-ter descriptions and click Apply.

• Disable – MAC security is disabled.• Low Security Level.• High Security Level.

Note

Port Monitoring, MAC security and 802.1x cannot be active at the same time.

Note

Port blocking through MAC Security is indicated as a major event and an appropriate trap is sent accordingly.


Chapter 7

Monitoring andDiagnostics

To avoid tedious repetition, it will be assumed that you are logged on to the BDU Manager as Installer.

Unit and Port Level DiagnosticsThe BDU provides monitoring and diagnostics functions at both system and port level:

• System level – The last 64 events are stored. The events display can be filtered according to user defined criteria. A red bell icon on the BDU Manager main screen provides notification of a new event. The system reports two levels of events: Notify and Major. Major events also generate a pop-up dialog box. Events may be acknowl-edged by an Administrator level user. Only events occurring on the network ports of the BDU are recorded. Configuration changes that are initiated by the network manager are not considered events. Events can also be sent as SNMP traps to additional destinations by adding their IP addresses to the BDU’s SNMP Trap Destination List.

• Port level – Monitoring and analysis includes port specific RMON statistics, counters and port monitoring.

SNMP Trap DestinationsWhen a system event is detected, the BDU sends a trap to a list of destina-tions.

To configure the SNMP Traps destination addresses:

1. In the BDU Manager main window, click Management.

2. In the Trap Destination dialog, click Add.

NoteThe Trap destination list may be configured through Web, Telnet and SNMP.


Events Log Chapter 7

Figure 7-1: Management menu, SNMP Traps and Add dialog

3. In the IP address box, enter a traps destination IP address.

4. Click OK. The address will appear in the IP address list.

5. Repeat for steps 1 to 4 each additional IP address.

To remove a traps destination address:

• Select the address and click Delete.

Events Log

Viewing Recorded EventsThe last 64 events are stored in the BDU and are available for display at any time through the Events Log window. The Events list is cleared when the device is turned off or reset.

The BDU Manager displays an unlimited number of events. If it disconnects from the BDU and reconnects, only the last 64 events that are stored in the BDU are available in the Events Log.

Only events occurring on the network ports of the BDU are recorded. Con-figuration changes that are initiated by the BDU Manager are not considered as events.

The viewed events may be acknowledged and filtered according to various user defined criteria. The events recorded are:

Major Events:• Device voltage: changes that exceed the thresholds and return to

within limits (see page 4-3)

• Internal temperature: changes that exceed the thresholds and return to normal (see page 4-2)

• Port Locked due to security definitions: when an unauthorized MAC address attempts to connect to a MAC Secured port (see page 6-4)

Notify Events:• Change in Port status: Link up, Link down• System status


Viewing Recorded Events Chapter 7

To view the full Events Log window:

• The Events Log is visible on the bottom part of the BDU Manager main window. To expand it, click on the arrow button on its top right corner.

Figure 7-2: Events Log window

Each trap notification consists of:• A unique index number• Event date and time stamp

• Event description• Event source• Severity (notify, major)

• Acknowledge (yes or no)

Event Levels and Color codes:The record is colored according to its severity:

• Notify (cyan) • Major (red)

To Sort information:

• From the Events Log window, click any header to sort the information according to the selected header in ascending or descending order.

To acknowledge events:

• From the expanded Events Log window, select the requested event(s) in the table and click the Ack on the bottom right.

NoteOnly Installer level users can acknowledge events.


Events Filter Chapter 7

Events Filter

Figure 7-3: Events Filter window

The display of events may be filtered according to different parameters to help the network manager focus on specific issues.

The available filters are: Date, Time, Port Number (source of trap), Severity and Acknowledged / Unacknowledged events.

To filter the displayed events:

1. From the BDU Manager main window, click the expansion tab at the right hand side of the Events title bar. The Events log covers the main window of the manager exposing Filter and Acknowledge buttons along the bottom.


Port Level Statistics and RMON Chapter 7

Figure 7-4: Events Log expanded to show Filter and Ack buttons

2. From the Events Log window click Filter. The Events Filter window appears as shown in Figure 7-3.

3. Check the box for each parameter you wish to include in the filter (Date, Severity and/or Source) and define the appropriate filter parameters.

4. In the Acknowledge area, select either Acknowledged or Unacknowl-edged to determine which filtered event require acknowledgement.

5. Click OK to activate filter definitions.

Port Level Statistics and RMONRMON (Remote Network Monitoring) provides standard information that can be used to monitor and analyze port traffic from a central site.

The BDU supports RMON RFC 2819 (which supersedes 1757 and 1217) Ethernet statistics group.

In addition to RMON information, statistics for Rx packets and counters for Tx packets can be monitored for each port.

Note

Unchecked Filters will result in the display of all the events related to that filter.

Note

When neither check box in the acknowledge area is checked, both acknowledged and unacknowledged events will be displayed.


Port Monitoring Chapter 7

To display the port RMON information, Rx statistics and Tx counter:

1. From the BDU Manager main window, click the icon of the port of inter-est. The Port View window appears.

2. From the Port View window, select the Statistics dialog as shown in Figure 7-5 below:

Figure 7-5: Port Statistics and Counters

Port MonitoringThe port monitoring feature enables analyzing and recording valid data on a port by mirroring its traffic to a second user allocated (monitoring destina-tion) port. You may monitor the egress, or both ingress and egress data of any port. This feature can be used for network analysis as well as recording port traffic.

You can monitor more than one port on a single monitoring destination port.

The monitoring port bandwidth is limited to the destination port bandwidth. Therefore, to ensure the integrity of the monitored data, flow control is automatically activated on the monitored port(s) as soon as the monitored traffic exceeds the destination’s port bandwidth.

To configure port monitoring:

1. From the BDU Manager main window, click on the port to be monitored. The Port View window appears.

2. From the Port View window, click the Monitor tab.


Port Monitoring Chapter 7

Chapter 8

Updating FirmwareTo avoid tedious repetition, it will be assumed that you are logged on to the BDU Manager as Installer.

Firmware componentsThe BDU firmware comprises of three elements, each of which, may be updated separately:

• Image – SNMP Agent software

• Content – Java Applet (Web management interface)• Config – Saved configuration template that may be loaded to a BDU

Figure 8-1: Files menu


Management Firmware Update Chapter 8

Management Firmware UpdateTo update the firmware:

1. From the BDU Manager main window click on the Files button.

2. In the File Server dialog, update the IP address of the TFTP File Server that will be used to download new firmware versions to the device (The specified IP must have a running TFTP server).

3. In the Operation dialog, update the file name of the new firmware ver-sion you wish to download to the device.

4. Select the desired operation from the Command list. Be sure to match the file type with the command (.bin with Download Image, .con with Download Content).

5. While downloading / updating the image and content files (this may take several minutes) the Status field will change depending on the current operation being executed. At the end of the process, that field will update again to announce the success or failure of the update.

Uploading and Downloading Configuration FilesThe BDU supports download and upload of pre-built configuration files.

The files are intended to assist configuration of a large number of devices to identical settings.

Downloading or uploading the configuration files is carried out the same way as the Firmware update, described in the previous section.

Note

To perform a download or upload operation, the command being executed must be colored blue, indicating a changed setting. Clicking Apply without changing the Command, even if it was set in advance, will do nothing.

Note

Each file downloads separately. After downloading one file, repeat steps 3 and 4 in order to download the next file.

Note

Performing an upload operation with no configuration file loaded will result in a new configuration file being created on the server. Set the file name before uploading. The file extension is not important.


Chapter 9

TelnetGeneral

Telnet enables remote management of a BDU. Configuration of multiple BDUs may be accomplished by running telnet script files created for that purpose.

Using TelnetTo run Telnet

1. From a command line, type telnet followed by a space then type the IP address of the target device (exact syntax according to the operating system). The prompt Welcome to BDU Manager; Please enter log on password appears.

2. At the prompt, enter the password, mypass. Note that the password is case sensitive. The device prompt, BDU> appears. The device is ready to receive Telnet commands (see figure 9-1, BDU Telnet Commands).

Invoking Telnet HelpAt the Telnet prompt -

• To view the list of available commands, type ? or help and press Enter.

• To invoke help on a specific command, type the command, followed by a space and ?

Here is the list of available Telnet commands:

Note

For security reasons, the Telnet session will automatically terminate if there is no telnet activity for approximately 60 seconds
