The Cisco 6400 SCM Element Manager adds custom windows to the standard Cisco Element Manager Framework (EMF) system to improve management of the Cisco 6400 Universal Access Concentrator (UAC). For example, the Cisco 6400 Chassis Management window has four tabbed sections:
Each tab displays specific information about the current state of the system or allows you to change various settings on a Cisco 6400 UAC without using Cisco IOS commands. Multiple Element Managers can be installed on a single Cisco EMF server, therefore allowing multidevice management from a single system.
This chapter describes the Element Manager windows that appear in the Cisco 6400 Service Connection Manager (SCM). The Element Manager windows provide:
Each Element Management window consists of one or more tabs that display information or that allows you to configure the Cisco 6400 UAC hardware. A number of the Element Manager windows have a similar layout in terms of management functions. For example, the first tab across a number of the Element Manager windows displays fault information that can be used for troubleshooting problems that arise.
Table 5-1 displays the Element Manager windows that can be launched from each node or object type. For example, to manage the Cisco 6400 chassis, choose a relevant Manager, Site, Chassis, or NSP object, and right-click Cisco 6400 UAC > Manage > Chassis option.
Note Cisco 6400 SCM also supports the NRP2 module. Unless otherwise noted, the NRP and NRP2 operate similarly. However, the NSP provides the following functions for the NRP2: image and file storage, system logging, console and Telnet access, and SNMPv3Proxy Forwarder. The NRP2 has no local image or file storage. The NSP stores the NRP2 images, system configuration files, ROM state information, and crash information on the PCMCIA disk on the NSP. The PCMCIA disk must be located in the NSP disk slot 0. |

Step 2 Right-click Cisco 6400 UAC > Chassis > Manage > PVC Usage option.
The Cisco 6400 Chassis Capacity Monitoring window appears with the Chassis tab displayed (Figure 5-5).
The Permanent Virtual Connection (PVC) Management and Capacity Monitoring tool allows you to better manage your PVC bandwidth resources by providing the information required to monitor the VPC/VCC allocation and maximize memory allocation for the Cisco 6400 Universal Access Concentrator (UAC).
Note The Management and Capacity Monitoring tool is only compatible with releases of Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4)DB and later that contain the show atm input-xlate-table and show atm input-xlate-table inuse commands for the NSP. Refer to the Cisco 6400 Software Configuration and Command Reference Guide for more information about ITT enhancements. |
The Input Translation Table is a hardware data structure used in the Cisco 6400 NSP for handling incoming cells. The ITT table consists of entries that are allocated in contiguous blocks for Virtual Circuit (VC) switching, and each block is dedicated to a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) on an interface.
The entire NSP consists of a single ITT, which is organized in two banks of 32,000 entries each. This limits the use of large Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) values and also limits the distribution of VCIs on VPIs as the number of VCs approaches 32,000. When an additional VC is added to a VPI that requires a larger block size than the current block, the current block is copied to a new larger block and the original block is freed. This leaves a series of small unused blocks.
As a result, ITT memory is fragmented. The ITT blocks grow to accommodate higher VCI values for a specific port or VPI, but ITT space is not returned unless the entire ITT is full.
ITT enhancements provide NSP functions to minimize fragmentation and enable the NSP to automatically determine the minimum ITT block size required to support the PVCs configured for each interface and VPI.
The Capacity Monitoring tool:
At the report phase, you can set a threshold value. If this value is exceeded, an alarm occurs. The alarm is logged to the Event Browser. The default threshold is set to the maximum value.

The Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OA&M) loopback feature is used to verify connectivity between devices in the network, or connectivity through the entire network. The loopback feature enables you to find faults by looping a signal at various points in the network.
Two types of loopback tests are provided so you can test connectivity between a subscriber connection on the Cisco 64000 UAC and a neighboring switch, or a device at the other end of the network:
Note Multiple services ordered by a subscriber are delivered over a single dedicated line (the subscriber connection). When you run the loopback test, the test checks the connectivity for all of the services delivered to the subscriber. |
If the cells loop back successfully, the network path between the local end and the far end is assumed to be good. If the cells do not loop back successfully, there is a problem. The loopback test also determines how long it took the cells to reach the far end and return, and the number of cells that were successfully looped back.
To run an SCM OA&M loopback test, follow these steps:
a. Right click on the ATM module that the subscriber connection uses and select Cisco 6400 UAC > Subscriber > Configure Subscriber option. The Subscriber Configuration window appears (see Figure 8-92).
b. In the left column, select the subscriber.
c. Under Connection Details, select the subscriber connection you want to test.
d. Write down the values in the Subscriber VPI and Subscriber VCI fields. You need to know these values to set up the loopback test.
Step 2 In Map Viewer, locate the chassis that supports the subscriber connection you want to test.
Step 3 Right-click on the chassis and select Cisco 6400 UAC > Port > Manage > Cisco OAM Loopback option. The Cisco Operation Administration and Maintenance Loopback window appears (Figure 5-42).
Step 4 Select the module and ATM port supporting the subscriber connection you want to test.
Step 5 Set up the loopback-test parameters (see the "OAM Configuration Tab" section for detailed field descriptions).
a. For Loopback Level, specify whether to test the virtual path (VP) or the virtual connection (VC).
b. For Loopback Type, select the type of loopback test to run: segment or end-to-end.
c. For Ping VPI and Ping VCI, specify the VPI and VCI values for the subscriber connection you are testing:
d. For Trap Configuration, specify whether to send notification when the loopback test is finished.
e. For end-to-end loopback tests, use the Location Type and Loopback Location fields to identify the remote end for the loopback test. For segment loopback tests, this is not necessary.
f. Use the Loopback Cell Configuration fields to specify how many OA&M cells to send during the test, and to define the time intervals for sending the cells or considering a cell to have failed.
Step 6 Click Ping Start to initiate the loopback test. The test runs until the specified number of OA&M test cells have been sent, or until you click Ping Stop.
Step 7 Click the OAM Status tab to view the test results (see the "OAM Status Tab" section).
Step 8 To stop the loopback test before it completes, click Ping Stop.
Use the OAM Configuration tab (see Figure 5-43) of the Cisco Operation, Administration, and Maintenance Loopback window to define the OA&M loopback test configuration and endpoints. To display the Cisco Operation, Administration, and Maintenance Loopback window, right-click on the ATM module that supports the subscriber connection you want to test and select Cisco 6400 UAC > Port > Manage > Cisco OAM Loopback option.
The Loopback Configuration fields define the type of loopback test to run.
These fields identify the subscriber connection to test.
This field specifies what SCM should do when the loopback test is over.
These fields identify the remote endpoint for an end-to-end loopback test. The fields are not valid for segment loopback tests.
Use the OAM Status tab (Figure 5-44) of the Cisco Operation, Administration, and Maintenance Loopback window to view the loopback test results. To display the Cisco Operation, Administration, and Maintenance Loopback window, right-click on the ATM module that supports the subscriber connection being tested and select Cisco 6400 UAC > Port > Manage > Cisco OAM Loopback option.
Note The Rtt fields describe round-trip time, which is the length of time it takes a cell to travel to the far end and return. |
