This chapter includes the following procedures for using Cisco Wireless Manager to manage Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers:
 |
Note The installation log files are stored in the /tmp directory and show a record of the installed components. |
Step 1 To start Cisco Wireless Manager server for the first time, log in as root.
Step 2 Enter the following commands:
cd /opt/cemf/bin
./cemf start
Step 1 Ensure that you start the Cisco Wireless Manager server.
Step 2 From the Cisco Wireless Manager server console, go to the /opt/cemf/bin directory and enter ./cemf session.
or
From a UNIX workstation or PC
a. Open a display session (rlogin, Telnet, rsh) to the Cisco Wireless Manager server or Cisco Wireless Manager client.
b. Go to the /opt/cemf/bin directory.
c. Enter ./cemf session.
|
Note If you are using a display session, be sure the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly. |
Step 3 Enter admin for both the username and for the password. Admin or root users can add additional users and passwords.
The first step in managing a device is to deploy Cisco EMF management containment levels and objects.
The Cisco EMF management levels are:
Cisco Wireless Manager includes Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers, RF line cards, and upstream and downstream channels.
Wireless subscriber unit objects appear under the upstream channels, and the customer premises equipments appear under the Wireless subscriber unit objects.
By default, performance polling is disabled for the deployed or discovered objects. You can activate performance polling per Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router.
See the "Enabling/Disabling Performance Polling" section.
|
Note Do not rename the parent node objects. |
In Cisco EMF, you can deploy actual or soon-to-be installed hardware devices by using the following procedures. Cisco recommends that you discover each Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router individually.
|
Note When you insert a new card in a previously discovered Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router, Cisco Wireless Manager automatically discovers and commissions the card as a Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router object. |
Step 1 To deploy containment levels and objects, click Map.
The Object tree appears with the default Manager level as the top level.
Step 2 To assign additional levels and objects from the right-click menu, select Deploy Wireless uBR.
Step 3 Select the level that you want.
Use the Cisco EMF Autodiscovery function to automatically discover and get a CEMF tree view of existing Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers and their objects that are already physically installed on your network.
|
Note During the discovery process, when you enter the IP addresses, SNMP
read-only string, and physical path, make sure that the read-only string
matches the Cisco uBR7200 string setting. If the strings do not match,
Cisco Wireless Manager cannot discover the Cisco uBR7200 series universal
broadband routers. To set the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router community strings individually, use the CEMF Open Configuration menu command. |
 |
Tip Before running the autodiscovery process, ensure that sufficient system resources are available. For large networks, the autodiscovery process may require a significant amount of time and resource to complete. |
Step 1 In the Cisco EMF tree view, right-click the level under which you want to deploy devices.
The Options menu appears.
Step 2 Select Autodiscovery.
The Discover Network Devices dialog box appears.
Step 3 Run the Discovery process as described in your Cisco EMF documentation.
|
Note Do not select "IP only" autodiscovery because it does not use the SNMP capabilities of the devices and marks all devices as generic IP devices. Use the SNMP or IP and SNMP autodiscovery options. |
Step 4 To check the status of the autodiscovery process, select a Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router.
Step 5 From the right-click menu, choose Commission/Decommission Object.
The status of the object appears. A "normal" status indicates that the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router and its components have been discovered.
By default, performance polling is disabled for the deployed or discovered objects. You can activate performance polling for subscriber units, uBRs, radio line card, and upstream, and downstream objects per Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router and use it to collect data for the subscriber unit customized report.
To enable performance polling for a Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router:
Step 1 Select the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router in the Object or Map View.
Step 2 From the right-click menu, select Start/Stop Performance Polling.
A performance polling dialog box appears.
Step 3 Click Start to start performance polling or Stop to stop performance polling.
If performance polling has already been started on the object, an error message appears.
After a device is discovered and deployed, you can add devices to be managed (commission) and remove devices from being managed (decommission).
You can commission or decommission a single:
You can also commission all the objects under a Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router by decommissioning the router; then, by re-commissioning it.
Step 1 To commission or decommission an object, select the object.
Step 2 From the right-click menu, select Open commission/decommision.
The Commission/Decommision dialog box appears.
This is a feature of the Cisco uBR7200 series router Fault Management.
For more information, see the "About Fault Management" section.
|
Note By default, event messages are stored for seven days. This setting is controlled by the alarmDirServer.ini file located in the /{CEMFROOT}/cemf/config/init directory. |
To view event messages:
Step 1 For all active objects, click Browser in the Cisco EMF Launch Pad.
The Cisco EMF Event Manager window appears displaying the received event messages.
Step 2 For a specific object level or device, select the containment level or object in a Map View or Object Tree.
Step 3 From the right-click menu, select Event Browser.
The received event messages for the selected object level appears.
Make sure that the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers are configured to send traps to the Cisco Wireless Manager. This configuration involves:

You can use CEMF to log information by using log files located under the /opt/cemf/logs.
|
Note Of all the log files, the file named ciscop2mpCtlr.log and ciscop2mpCtlr.old are most important. These ASCII files contain all Cisco Wireless Manager application specific log messages. |
By default, the log files do not include DEBUG entries. To view log messages of DEBUG severity (this includes all other severities):
Step 1 Go to the loggercommon.include file located in the /opt/cemf/config/init directory.
Step 2 To log all DEBUG level messages, change the setting to 15. By default the loggingLevelMask is set to 10.
|
Note Changing the level to 15 affects how quickly the log files are archived as .old files. |
Step 3 Stop CEMF.
Step 4 For the changes to take effect, reboot the system.
You can also control the size of the ciscop2mpCtlr.log file by using the ciscop2mpCtlr.ini file located in the /opt/CEMF/config/init directory.
Whenever the ciscop2mpCtlr.log file reaches its maximum size as specified in the control file, it is archived to a ciscop2mpCtlr.old file and a new ciscop2mpCtlr.log file is created.
Numerous other log files are also available for troubleshooting.
Log files are stored in the /opt/cemf/logs directory.
Step 1 Go to the /opt/cemf/config/init directory.
Step 2 Specify, in KB, the size of the log file in the logger section of ciscop2mpCtlr.ini.
Step 3 Stop and re-start CEMF.
See the following example of a section of the ciscop2mpCtlr.ini for the logger section in order to specify a 5 MB ciscop2mpCtlr.log file:
[logger]
#include "loggercommon.include"
loggingName = ciscop2mpCtlr
maxLogfileSize = 5000=
With Cisco EMF, you can back up and restore databases (typically found under /opt/cemf/db). Backups and restores are performed by using the Cisco EMF script cemf located under /opt/cemf/bin.
