Monitoring Routers

ISM provides a number of functions that allow you to effectively monitor and manage your router network environment from the mainframe. You can use ISM to monitor the status of all your routers, using a powerful interface that allows you to specify performance thresholds and monitoring intervals, and assign routers to management groups.

Setting Up ISM Router Management

ISM's default setup enables the Router Management application for all routers known to ISM. When the Router Management application is enabled ISM will monitor routers and their associated resources (interfaces, CMCCs, and DSPUs), and you can use the ISM : Status Summary panel and the ISM : Router List panel to manage your router resources. You can also monitor the interface, CMCC, and DSPU resources associated with a router.

Once you have enabled the Router Management application in ISM, you can disable monitoring of individual routers (including their associated interfaces, CMCCs, and DSPUs) when you set up the router monitoring options.

ISM's architecture provides two layers of router management control options---global and individual:

• The global interface control options are available on the ISM : Parameter Administration panels, accessed from the ISM Parameter Administration option on the ISM : Administration Menu panel. These options allow you to specify router management settings that apply to all routers that are known to ISM.

• The individual router control options are available on the ISM : Router List panel for a specific router definition. These panels allow you to control certain options, such as disabling monitoring, for individual routers.

For information on setting up global router management options, see the "Setting Up Router Management Parameters" section.

For information on setting up router-specific management options, see the "Updating Individual Router Monitoring Options" section.

Displaying Router Status

ISM provides two primary panels where you can monitor the status of your routers:

For further information about using the ISM : Status Summary panel to monitor routers, see Chapter 4, "Monitoring Resources in ISM."

• ISM : Router List panel---Displays a list of all router service point names that are known to ISM in color-coded format to indicate status conditions and to diagnose router problems. See the following section, "Using the Router List to Manage Your Routers."

Using the Router List to Manage Your Routers

The ISM : Router List panel (Figure 5-1) shows all routers currently defined to ISM, with details of their current status and settings. This panel is the basis of your day-to-day router management activities. To define a new router to ISM, use the F4 (Add) function (see the "Adding and Updating Router Definitions" section).

To access the ISM : Router List panel, type R in the Select Option field on the ISM : Monitoring Menu panel and press Enter.

• Administration functions---see the following section, "Using Administration Functions From the Router List," and the "Adding and Updating Router Definitions".

• Basic diagnostic functions---see the "Using Basic Diagnostic Functions From the Router List" section.

• Advanced diagnostic functions---see the "Using Advanced Diagnostic Functions From the Router List" section.

• History function---see the "Using the History Function From the Router List" section and the "Viewing Router Performance History" section.

• Displaying other monitoring lists---see the "Displaying Other Monitoring Lists From the Router List" section, Chapter 7, "Monitoring CMCCs", and Chapter 6, "Monitoring Interfaces."

Displaying Other Monitoring Lists From the Router List

Table 5-5 describes the other monitoring lists available from the ISM : Router List panel. See also Chapter 7, "Monitoring CMCCs," and Chapter 6, "Monitoring Interfaces."

Description of Router Status Types

The color of the service point name of a router on the ISM : Router List panel (Figure 5-1) indicates the status of that router. Table 5-6 lists the color and definition of each status.

If the router status is PERF the Extended Status provides additional information why the router is in degraded mode. If the extended status is an abbreviation of an interface type, it means that an interface of that type is not in the desired status. Table 5-7 lists the descriptions of each extended status.

Adding and Updating Router Definitions

Before you can monitor routers in ISM, you must have a management definition set up for the router in ISM.

Adding Router Definitions

If the router is already connected to the mainframe and communicating with VTAM, you can choose one of two options to create the new router definition:

• Allow ISM to discover the new router when an alert is generated for that router and to automatically set up a default management definition. If a generated alert is received from a router that has not yet been defined to ISM, then ISM automatically obtains the necessary information to dynamically define that router and add the router to the list of monitored routers.

• Request a new router contact from ISM to manually initiate ISM's detection of the new router.

When ISM detects a new router, it recognizes and establishes the VTAM definition member and major node for the router record in ISM. This information is necessary for successful monitoring of the router.

Use the following procedure to create a new router definition for a router that has not already been discovered by ISM:

Step 1 On the ISM : Router List panel (Figure 5-2), press F4.

---

Note For you to create a new router definition, your ISM user profile must have enable authority. If you do not have enable authority, then F4 is not available to you on the ISM : Router List. For information on setting up user profiles, see the "Defining the ISM User Profiles" section.

---

The ISM : Router Administration panel is displayed (Figure 5-3) in Add mode.

Step 8 Press F3 to file the router details.

Step 9 Pressing F3 (in Step 8) exits the panel. To modify the discovered fields, update a record by typing U next to the service point name and press Enter.

Step 10 Type new details in the fields that you want to change.

Step 11 Press F3 to file the router details.

Updating Individual Router Monitoring Options

ISM allows you to set up certain router monitoring options for individual routers. This ability allows you to override certain settings, including CPU and memory performance thresholds, for individual routers.

To set up router monitoring for an individual router, complete the following steps:

---

Note For you to update a router definition, your ISM user profile must have enable authority. If you do not have enable authority, then U (Update) is not available to you on the ISM : Router List. For information on setting up user profiles, see the "Defining the ISM User Profiles" section.

---

The ISM : Router Administration panel is displayed (Figure 5-3) in Update mode.

Step 2 To allocate this router to one or more groups for monitoring, type the name of one, two, or three groups in the Group(s) fields.

Step 3 To enable or disable router monitoring for this router, type Yes or No in the Monitor? field.

Step 4 To enable or disable router archiving for this router, type Yes or No in the Router Archiving? field.

Step 5 To enable or disable interface archiving for this router, type Yes or No in the Interface Archiving? field.

Step 6 To set individual thresholds for monitoring this router, type the required threshold values in the CPU Threshold and Memory Threshold fields.

Step 7 Press F3 to file the changes that you have made.

Setting Up the Router Monitoring Interval

The amount of time that the ISM polling waits to contact routers to collect statistics and update status is specified either:

• On a global basis for all routers on the ISM : Router Management Parameters panel (see the "Setting Up Router Management Parameters" section)

• On a group basis for all routers on the ISM : Router Group Administration panel (see the "Setting Up Monitoring for Router Groups" section)

The default router monitoring interval is 15 minutes (00:15). Cisco recommends 2 hours (02:00).

Setting Up the Router CPU and Memory Thresholds

You can modify the CPU and memory thresholds that ISM uses when monitoring routers to issue alerts for CPU and memory performance conditions on a global or individual-router basis. The default threshold settings are 95 percent for CPU utilization and 10 percent free memory. To remove threshold settings, type 0 in the corresponding option. If 0 is set, no alert is created.

Setting Up Router Thresholds for All Routers

You can set up the CPU and memory thresholds for all routers on the ISM : Router Management Parameters panel. For more information about setting up the global router management options, see the "Setting Up ISM Management Applications" section.

Overriding Global Router Thresholds for Individual Routers

You can override the router CPU and memory global thresholds that are set up for all routers on an individual-router basis on the ISM : Router Administration panel (Figure 5-3). Type the percentages that you want to update in the CPU Threshold and Memory Threshold options.

For more information on updating individual router definitions, see the "Updating Individual Router Monitoring Options" section.

Setting Up Router Alert Generation

If you want ISM to send generic alerts to SOLVE:Netmaster's NEWS facility for router performance, memory, and status alerts, then you must enable the alert generation rules for routers. Alert generation to NEWS from ISM is disabled by default when ISM is first initialized.

For more information on setting up router alert generation, see the "Setting Up Router Management Parameters" section.

Disabling Router Interface Archiving

If the Interface Monitoring application has been enabled in ISM, then you can enable or disable interface archiving for individual routers in ISM. By default, the Interface Monitoring application is enabled by ISM and interface archiving is enabled for all routers.

For more information about enabling the ISM Interface Monitoring application and selecting the types of interfaces for ISM to monitor, see the "Setting Up ISM Management Applications" section.

You can set up router interface archiving for an individual router on the ISM : Router Administration panel (Figure 5-3). Type Yes or No in the Interface Archiving? field.

For more information about monitoring interfaces, see the "Monitoring Interfaces" chapter.

Diagnosing Problems

ISM provides a powerful diagnostic function that you can use to obtain information about the most critical problem affecting the router. From the ISM : Router List panel (Figure 5-1), you can type DR next to a router and press Enter to display the ISM : Router Diagnosis Actions List for Router panel (Figure 5-4). This panel displays a list of actions that you can perform to diagnose problems with the selected router. The list of actions available varies, depending on the current status and extended status of the router. You can select one or more actions to perform.

The following actions are always provided:

• Display the VTAM status

• Display a list of NEWS events

• Command Interface

• Re-discover router

• Poll router and reset status

The following actions are provided depending on the extended status:

• Display Router Performance History

• Display CMCC Performance History

• Display Interface List for all interfaces not in desired state

• Display (interface type) Interface List

For example, suppose the selected router is in PERF status with extended status TO E, where:

• PERF means router performance

• TO means TokenRing interface

• E means Ethernet interface

Then the panel is displayed with the actions shown in Figure 5-1.

Filtering Routers

The ISM : Router List panel allows you to view status information for all your routers by scrolling forward (F8) or backward (F7). You can also apply filters to display a subset of routers that are of interest to you.

Filtering by Service Point Name

You can filter the routers that you want to view by using the Service Point Name field on the ISM : Monitoring Menu panel (Figure 5-5).

To filter routers from the ISM : Monitoring Menu panel, in the Service Point Name field, type the beginning characters of the service point name that you want to view, followed by an asterisk (*) (to allow a match for any remaining characters in the name), and press Enter. Only the routers with service point names that begin with the same characters you specified are displayed. For example, to filter the display of all routers beginning with the characters cwb, type cwb* in the Service Point Name field.

Filtering by Logical Groups

Group filtering allows you to view the status for logically grouped routers. For example, a group may include all the routers located in a region or department, or those of a particular device type. The group to which a router belongs is assigned by an ISM administrator when the router is defined to ISM, and only an ISM administrator can define router filters by groups. For more information about assigning routers to groups, see the "Assigning Routers to Management Groups" section.

To view a logical group of routers from the ISM : Monitoring Menu panel, complete the following steps:

Step 1 From the ISM : Primary Menu panel, type M in the Select Option field and press Enter. The ISM : Monitoring Menu panel is displayed (Figure 5-5).

Step 2 In the Select Option field, type R.

Step 3 In the Group Name field, specify the router group name for which you want to view routers and press Enter. You can enter a question mark (?) to display a selection list of group names.

The ISM : Router List panel is displayed, listing routers that belong to the filter group that you specified.

---

Note If you want to view routers for a set of related group names, type the beginning characters of the group names that you want to view, followed by an asterisk (*) (to allow a match for any remaining characters in the name), and press Enter. Only the routers with group names that begin with the same characters you specified are displayed. For example, to filter the display of routers assigned to all groups beginning with the characters cwb, type cwb* in the Group Name field.

---

Tips

You can determine the group to which a router belongs from the ISM : Router List panel (Figure 5-1) or by viewing the definition of a router (Figure 5-3).

Filtering by Status

Status filtering allows you to view the status for routers grouped by status. For example, you may want to include all routers in a particular status, or exclude all routers in a particular status. Do this by defining a status filter on the ISM : Status Filter Details panel (Figure 5-6), as described in the following section.

Updating Your Own Status Filter Details

You can view or update your own status filter details by using the SF action on the ISM : Monitoring Menu panel. To update your status filter details, complete the following steps:

Step 1 On the ISM : Monitoring Menu panel (Figure 5-5), type SF in the Select Option field and press Enter. The ISM : Status Filter Details panel (Figure 5-6) is displayed, showing details for your user ID.

Refreshing and Resetting Routers

Although ISM automatically updates the status of the routers at the intervals specified by an ISM administrator in the ISM setup, you can manually refresh router status information at any time between those intervals.

Refreshing and Resetting Router Attributes

If you are an enabled ISM user, you can rediscover a router and refresh its attributes (interfaces, CMCCs, and DSPUs). You do this by using the Discover action (CHK) on the ISM : Router List panel.

If you are an enabled ISM user, you can reset a router from an operator who is logged in to a router in enabled mode or who is in a busy state with a router. You do this by using the Reset action (R) on the ISM : Router List panel.

Refreshing and Resetting Router Status

You can refresh or check the status of a router from the ISM : Router List panel.

To refresh outdated router status information on the ISM : Router List panel, press F6.

Managing Router Data

If you enable router monitoring, the router history and performance data is stored in its own VSAM database. For each individual router definition, you can perform the following operations on your history and performance data:

• Disabling Archiving of Router History and Performance Data

• Deleting History and Performance Records

• Changing the Maximum Record Counts

Disabling Archiving of Router History and Performance Data

By default, ISM enables router monitoring and archiving of history and performance data, such as CPU and memory utilization statistics. You can disable archiving of router history and performance data for individual routers.

To disable archiving for a router, use the ISM : Router Administration panel (Figure 5-3). Type No in the Interface Archiving option.

For more information on updating individual router definitions, see the "Updating Individual Router Monitoring Options" section.

Deleting History and Performance Records

You can remove the history and performance records for an individual router from the history database using the Delete History function on the ISM : Router Performance History panel (Figure 5-7).

Complete the following tasks to delete router performance history records for an individual router:

Step 1 On the ISM : Router List panel (Figure 5-2), type H beside a router entry and press Enter. The ISM : Router Performance History panel (Figure 5-7) for the selected router is displayed.

Changing the Maximum Record Counts

You can change the maximum number of records that each history database contains before overwriting the data contents. The wrap counts are set for all routers and interfaces. When these values are changed after initializing ISM, the new values will apply to new routers and interfaces defined to ISM. You can apply the new values to existing resources if you delete the history for an individual router or interface. After you delete the history records, the next time that the file is initialized the new values will be used.

For more information on resetting the history database, see the "Deleting History and Performance Records" section. Another method of applying changed wrap counts to previously defined routers and interfaces is to delete the router definition and redefine the router to ISM.

For more information about changing the wrap counts, see the "Setting Up ISM Database Parameters" section.

Viewing Router Management Information

There are several ways that you can view the management information for a router. The following sections describe the ways that you can collect and view the configuration of a router:

• Viewing Router Status from VTAM

• Viewing the Router Administration Definition from ISM

• Collecting and Archiving a Router Configuration

• Viewing Archived Configurations

Viewing Router Status from VTAM

Complete the following tasks to view a router as it is defined in VTAM:

Step 1 On the ISM : Router List panel (Figure 5-1), type V next to the router name and press Enter. The NCS : Node Display panel is displayed (Figure 5-8), showing the router connection as it is defined in VTAM.

Viewing the Router Administration Definition from ISM

Use the ISM : Router List (Figure 5-1) panel to view a router as it is defined in ISM. In the Enter Option field, type S or B next to a router name and press Enter. The ISM : Router Administration panel (Figure 5-3) for the selected router is displayed.

Collecting and Archiving a Router Configuration

If you are an enabled ISM user, you can log in to a router and collect its current configuration. You can also archive the router configuration file that you collect. To collect a current configuration, you must first log in to the router in enable mode. You must know the router password, and if the router is using TACACS+, you must have a user ID defined to TACACS+ to collect a router configuration.

Step 1 On the ISM : Router List panel, type CO next to the router name for which you want to view ISM management information and press Enter. The ISM : Router Configuration Command panel (Figure 5-9) is displayed.

Viewing Archived Configurations

You can display a list of archived configuration files for a router, view the details of a specific configuration file, and use an archived configuration file for disaster recovery.

Step 1 On the ISM : Router List panel, type CV next to the router name for which you want to view ISM management information and press Enter. The ISM : Configuration Records for Router panel (Figure 5-10) is displayed.

Step 2 To view the details of a configuration file, type S or V next to the record that you want to view and press Enter. The ISM : Configuration Details panel is displayed (Figure 5-11) for the selected record.

Monitoring Router Performance

This section describes the router performance data that is available from ISM. It explains how to obtain the performance data that is useful in monitoring the performance of a router.

Setting Router Monitoring and Threshold Values

If you are an ISM administrator, you can set the monitoring intervals and CPU and memory thresholds in the ISM Router Management setup. Specifying a monitoring interval determines the interval (in hours and minutes) when ISM queries and collects performance data from the routers in your network. Specifying CPU and memory thresholds determines the level (expressed as a percentage of the CPU utilization and availability of free memory) that when exceeded will cause ISM to generate an alert. When a performance alert is generated, ISM displays the following indicators:

For more information on setting up the router monitoring and threshold options, see the "Setting Up the Router Monitoring Interval" section and "Setting Up the Router CPU and Memory Thresholds" section.

Viewing Router Performance History

If router monitoring is set to Yes and CPU and memory threshold levels are set, ISM measures the performance of the routers in your network at the specified intervals. The results are archived in the Router Performance History data set. Any ISM user can view the records archived for a specific router on the Router Performance History panel.

To view performance history records for a specific router, type H next to the router's service point name on the ISM : Router List and press Enter. The Router Performance History panel (Figure 5-12) is displayed for the specified router.

Viewing Alerts and Events

If you have enabled alert generation, alerts generated by a router that is being monitored by ISM are forwarded to the host by the service point configured in the router. You can enable ISM to generate alerts for routers, interfaces, and CMCCs when thresholds are exceeded. For information about enabling alert generation in ISM, see the "Setting Up Router Alert Generation" section.

You can access SOLVE:Netmaster's NEWS facility from within ISM to obtain a list of alerts generated by a specific router or router resource and forwarded to SOLVE:Netmaster. For more information on using SOLVE:Netmaster's NEWS facility, see the SOLVE:Netmaster User's Guide.

Displaying Alerts

To display a list of the most recent alerts in SOLVE:Netmaster's NEWS, type EV next to a service point name on the ISM : Router List and press Enter. The NEWS : Events Review panel is displayed listing the alert records generated by the selected router.

Logging in to Routers and Issuing Commands

You can use the ISM : Command Interface panel to connect to a router and issue commands that you would normally be issued in a Telnet session. However, ISM does not allow the use of certain commands such as telnet.

Commands issued from the ISM : Command Interface panel are optionally written to the SOLVE activity log. The name of the operator who issues a command is also recorded. However, as an ISM security feature, if the issued command requires a password, the password is suppressed and not logged. Also, if the issued command requests router configuration information, all security sensitive data is suppressed and not logged.

Issuing Commands From the ISM : Router List Panel

Complete the following tasks to issue commands to a router from the ISM : Router List panel:

Step 1 On the ISM : Router List panel, type CI next to the service point name of the router and press Enter. The ISM : Command Interface panel (Figure 5-13) is displayed.

Issuing Router Show Commands

ISM provides a list of commonly used Cisco IOS software show commands that you can use to obtain additional information about a router. These commands are useful for monitoring and problem determination purposes. If you are an ISM administrator, you can add show commands to the ISM : Router Show Commands panel (Figure 5-14).

The following commands are displayed on the ISM : Router Show Commands panel:

• show version---Displays the configuration of the system hardware, the software version, the names and sources of configuration files, and the boot images.

• show processes cpu---Displays detailed CPU utilization statistics.

• show processes memory---Displays memory utilization.

• show users---Displays the users currently logged in to the router and their status and locations.

• show protocols---Displays the global and interface-specific status of any configured Layer 3 protocols.

• show environment all---Displays the router's temperature and voltage information.

• show boot---Displays the boot Flash memory.

Complete the following tasks to issue router show commands:

Step 1 On the ISM : Router List panel, type SH next to the router for which you want to view ISM management information and press Enter. The ISM : Router Show Commands panel is displayed (Figure 5-14).

Adding Commands to the Router Show Commands Panel

If you are an ISM administrator, you can add Cisco IOS software show commands to the Router Show Commands panel (Figure 5-14). These show commands must be supported by Cisco IOS Release 11.0 and later.

Complete the following tasks to add a Cisco IOS software show command to the ISM : Router Show Commands panel:

Step 1 On the ISM : Router Show Commands panel, press F4 to display an update panel. The ISM : Add Router SHOW Commands panel is displayed (Figure 5-15).

Showing Router Memory

To execute router show commands that display information about the router's memory configuration, use the ISM : Dump Types List panel. To access the ISM : Dump Types List panel, use the DU option on the ISM : Router List panel.

The following commands are displayed on the ISM : Dump Types List panel (Figure 5-16):

• show memory allocating-process---Displays the memory being used by the allocating process.

• show memory dead---Displays the amount of memory being used by processes that are no longer running in the router.

• show memory fast---Displays the statistics for the fast memory.

• show memory free---Displays the amount of available memory in the router.

• show memory io---Displays the free memory input/output (IO) blocks. On a Cisco 4000 router, this command shows how much unused IO memory is available.

• show memory multibus---Displays statistics for multibus memory.

• show memory pci---Displays statistics for program-controlled interruption (PCI) memory.

• show memory processor---Displays statistics for the router's processor memory.

• show memory summary---Displays the amount of memory being used by each allocated process.

• show version---Displays the hardware and software versions in the router.

Requesting a Memory Dump and Viewing Stored Memory Dumps

If you want to issue a router memory command to request a memory dump but do not want to view the output yet, you can use the DU option to request a dump and add it to the list of stored dumps. When you want to view it, you can select it from the list of stored dumps.

To request a memory dump and view it later, perform the following steps:

Step 1 On the ISM : Router List panel, type DU next to the service point name of the router for which you want to view ISM management information and press Enter. The ISM : Dump Types List panel is displayed (Figure 5-16) for the selected router.

Step 2 When you are ready to view the output of a memory dump, on the ISM : Router List panel, type V next to the service point name of the router for which you want to view ISM management information and press Enter. The ISM : Stored Dumps List is displayed (Figure 5-17).

A memory dump panel is displayed, whose format varies, depending on the type of memory dump. For example, selecting a Memory Free dump displays an ISM : Memory Free Dump panel (Figure 5-18).

Requesting a Memory Dump for Immediate Viewing

To request a memory dump and view it immediately, perform the following steps:

Step 1 On the ISM : Router List panel, type DU next to the service point name of the router for which you want to view ISM management information and press Enter. The ISM : Dump Types List panel is displayed (Figure 5-16) for the selected router.

Step 2 To request and view a memory dump, type V next to a memory dump type and press Enter. ISM executes the corresponding command.

If the dump finds any records to process, ISM displays the command output on a memory dump panel. The format of this panel varies, depending on the type of memory dump. For example, selecting a Memory Free dump displays an ISM : Memory Free Dump panel (Figure 5-18) for the selected router.

If the dump finds no records to process, ISM displays a completion message against the selected dump type, advising that the number of records stored as a result of this dump is zero.
