Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager setup information is presented in the following sections:
To enable Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager to communicate with the Cisco edge routers, certain configuration tasks must be performed on the router. Until these configuration tasks are completed, Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager cannot contact the Cisco edge routers, and no management can begin.
Before you can start using Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager to manage Cisco edge routers, you must meet the following requirements:
To meet these requirements, perform the following tasks, as appropriate.
Step 2 If there is no current privileged command password, enter commands as follows:
Step 3 If the router does not have a configured management Ethernet port, enter commands as follows:
The Sun machine running Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager should now be able to ping the router.
Step 4 If the router is not SNMP-manageable, enter commands as follows:
Step 5 If the router does not currently accept Telnet sessions, enter commands as follows:
Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager traps should be enabled so that the Cisco edge routers send traps to the Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager server at the appropriate IP address.
Step 2 Enter the following:
Step 3 Enter the enable password.
Step 4 Enter the following:
 |
Note To obtain help when using Cisco IOS commands, enter the command in question, followed by a question mark. |
Configuring a TFTP server enables the Configuration Backup/Restore to operate. Setting up a workstation as a TFTP server is described in the following sections:
Configuring the Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager server as a TFTP server is optional. You can alternatively choose to use a different machine as the TFTP server, or not use the backup/restore functionality at all. If you choose to use another machine as a TFTP server, make sure that it has empty backup files. You also need the appropriate permissions set to allow read and write access. Backup files have the filename CERMaa.bb.cc.dd, where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP address of the router. A backup file is created for the active Cisco edge router.
|
Note When the manager is set up as the TFTP server, Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager makes sure that the backup files exist and have the correct permissions. |
TFTP enables you to transfer files to and from remote systems. The Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager Configuration Backup/Restore window allows you to back up and restore the Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager configuration. TFTP transfers the configuration files from a device to your system through the network.
The TFTP daemon must be enabled for Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager to upload or download a configuration file. If you are using standard Sun software, verify that the TFTP daemon (tftpd) is enabled as follows:
Step 2 Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file using a text editor (such as vi).
Step 3 Look in the /etc/inetd.conf file for the line that invokes tftpd. When the line is commented out (starts with a pound sign # as in the following example), use a text editor to delete the pound sign.
Step 4 Save the changes in the edited file and exit.
Step 5 Reboot the system.
Step 6 Verify that the TFTP daemon is enabled by entering:
Output similar to the following appears:
|
Note When there is no output, tftpd is not enabled. For additional information on TFTP, refer to the UNIX main pages on tftp and tftpd.IREFOB J:1023354 |
The tftpboot directory stores configuration files from Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager managed routers. To create the tftpboot directory, do the following:
Step 2 Modify the permissions by entering the following:
|
Note All users accessing the tftpboot directory will have read, write, and execute permissions. |
|
Note CEMF must be running before you start a CEMF user session. |
Starting the CEMF manager system automatically starts Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager. To start the CEMF manager system, follow these steps. If CEMF is already started, proceed to step 3.
Step 2 Start the CEMF manager system by entering the following:
Replace CEMF_ROOT with the name of the directory where CEMF is installed.
The CEMF and CERM processes start.
|
Note Any type of user (not only superusers) can start a CEMF user session. |
Step 3 To start a CEMF/CERM user session, enter commands as follows:
Replace CEMF_ROOT with the name of the directory where CEMF is installed.
Step 4 Enter a username and a password. The default username is admin, and the default password is admin.
Stopping the CEMF manager system automatically stops the CERM user session. To stop only the CEMF/CERM user session, do the following:
When you close the Launchpad window, your user session is terminated.
Step 2 Confirm your decision to quit the CEMF manager system by clicking OK.
The CEMF/CERM user session ends.
To stop all CEMF manager system processes entirely:
Step 2 Enter commands as follows:
Replace CEMF_ROOT with the name of the directory where CEMF is installed.
The CEMF manager system processes stop.
To check the status of CEMF/CERM, enter commands as follows:
Replace CEMF_ROOT with the name of the directory where CEMF is installed.
A message appears indicating that the CEMF manager system is running. A list of running processes is also displayed. If CEMF is not active, a message appears indicating that the CEMF manager system is not running.
When you run a cemf query, verify that the ciscoERCon process is running. If this process is not running, Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager may be installed incorrectly and may need to be reinstalled.
