Chapter 6. Network and
Switch Management
This chapter gives an overview of the management options for the ONcore hub:
The three methods for managing the ATM Switch/Control
Guidelines for SNMP network management
Procedures for uploading and downloading operations.
Managing the ATM Subsystem
You can manage the ATM subsystem in any of the following ways:
From an ASCII terminal with a character-based, command-line interface that is
directly connected to the RS-232 Console port on a 6416SW.
This is an inexpensive solution well-suited for a workgroup installation.
Remote login from 6416SW consoles via TELNET. Management traffic flows via
the network. You can start only one remote session on a 6416SW.
This is ideal for small and medium installations with remote occasional monitoring.
From a network management station running Transcend ONcore ATM Campus
Manager or another network management application that supports SNMP protocols
and the ONcore SNMP-compliant Management Information Base (MIB) extensions.
This is suited for medium and large installations with remote permanent monitoring.
For information on the SNMP functions supported, see “SNMP Support” on
page 6-2. For instructions on how to access the Internet library to view the
available MIB commands, see “Accessing MIB Files” on page 6-3.
