Configuring the Administrative State of Objects

Configuring the Administrative State of Objects

This chapter contains the following sections:

Overview of Configuring Administrative States

With the Cisco UGM Configure Administrative States option, you can:

Objects That Support Administrative State Configuration

The Configure Administrative State function applies to the following objects only:

You can perform Graceful Shutdown and Accept Traffic actions only for the entire card (not individual ports or channels).

Graceful Shutdown and Accept Traffic are not supported for modem, SPE, VFC, and Carrier cards, the device, and DS0 channels.

About the Graceful Shutdown Function

Before performing this function, set up authentication values for the device. (See the "Task 1: Authenticating the Device Object" section.)

When you start this function, make sure that:

You can also gracefully shut down a selected card object in a normal state (no Graceful Shutdown action is currently in effect).

Graceful Shutdown of an object consists of two steps: busyout and shutdown.

Busyout does not terminate existing calls; instead, busyout allows existing calls to be completed and prevents any new calls from being established on the object.

Busyout phases out all DS0 operation on the card. When no active DS0s remain, the T1, E1, and/or T3 controllers (as applicable) on the card are shut down.

An Action Report appears at the end of a Graceful Shutdown and shows the results of the action.

The Configure Administrative State option and Graceful Shutdown are available only for some Cisco UGM objects.

For details, see the "Objects That Support Administrative State Configuration" section.

Object State Transitions During the Graceful Shutdown Action

Typical state transitions during the processing of a Graceful Shutdown action are:

These transitions are visible in the bottom left corner of the Configure Administrative State dialog box.

Recovering Cards from a Graceful Shutdown on Cisco AS5300 and AS5400 Devices

When you perform a Graceful Shutdown action on a card installed in the Cisco AS5300 and AS5400 devices, the card is removed from the Physical view in Map Viewer. You must bring the card object back into the Map Viewer before performing an Accept Traffic function on the card.

To bring the card object back into the Map Viewer:


Step 1   From the Map Viewer, select and right-click the device in which the card is installed.

Step 2   Select Open Telnet Session.

Step 3   Enter your password to access the device.

Step 4   Enter this command:

no busyout slot_card

Where

slot is the location of the card in the parent device.

card is the description of the card installed in that slot.

The card appears in the Map Viewer's Physical view.


About the Accept Traffic Function


Note   When you accept traffic, make sure that no other configuration activity is in progress for the selected card or for its host chassis.

You can Accept Traffic on a selected card object in the locked state (resulting from a prior Graceful Shutdown action that was previously performed for this object).

By doing so, you can either configure the object to start receiving calls, or undo the effect of a graceful shutdown. The object is now in service.

Accept Traffic activates all T1, E1, and T3 controllers on the card (including those that may have been shut down by means other than the Graceful Shutdown method). Use this Accept Traffic method to activate T1, E1, and T3 controllers that are "down."


Note   If you perform a Graceful Shutdown action on a Cisco AS5350 or AS5400 device, you cannot enter the Accept Traffic command.

For details, see the "Configuring the Administrative State for a Supported Object" section.

Object State Transitions During the Accept Traffic Action

Typical state transitions during the processing of an Accept Traffic action are:

These transitions are visible in the bottom left corner of the Configure Administrative State dialog box.


Note   The Configure Administrative State option (and Accept Traffic) is available only for some Cisco UGM objects. For details, see the "Objects That Support Administrative State Configuration" section.

About Processing Times for Configuring Administrative States

This section describes processing times associated with Configure Administrative State actions:

About the Action Report

Configuring the Administrative State for a Supported Object


Step 1   In the Map Viewer, select an object in the Physical tree.

Step 2   Right-click the object and select Configure Administrative State.
