Understanding the DAS
Command Line Interface

This chapter provides a description of Dial-Up Frame Relay Command Line Interface (CLI), also known as the INS_CLI. It includes the following sections:

1. List Active PRIs
2. Display CDR Configuration
3. List Configured PRIs
4. List Configured INS Daemon
5. Display Current INS Daemon
6. Display INS Status
7. Display Call Processor Stats
8. Display Layer 3 Statistics (Stats)
9. Display Layer 2 Statistics (Stats)
10. Modify CDR Configuration
11. Configure a PRI
12. Delete a PRI Configuration
13. Configure an INS (DAS) Daemon
14. Delete an INS (DAS) Daemon
15. Set INS Admin Status
16. Quit Command Line

This Command Line Interface is used to view and configure the PRIs providing ISDN signalling information to the DAS Server Shelf and the DAS (INS) Daemon software running on the StrataView Plus Workstation. (Note that INS was an early name for DAS.) In other words, the Dial-Up Frame Relay Command Line Interface provides a way to link the PRIs terminated on the Cisco wide-area switch to the INS Daemon software on the StrataView Plus Workstation. This CLI also provides status information about the DAS Server Shelf and statistics for the ISDN Q.931 (layer 3) and Q.921 (layer 2) messages and frames passed between the DAS Server Shelf and the PRI.

The Dial-Up Frame Relay CLI, which is not integrated with StrataView Plus, can be accessed through a remote connection (i.e., a telnet session) or through a terminal directly connected to the DAS Server Shelf.

Accessing the Dial-Up Frame Relay CLI

To access the DAS command line interface:

1 ) Log in to the DAS Server Shelf through either a telnet session or from a terminal directly connected to the DAS Server Shelf. (Chapter 6 provides instructions for connecting a terminal. You can also telnet from StrataView Plus Workstation.)

2 ) Log in as root and enter the password (if applicable) that you normally use in your UNIX environment. Set path for root/opt/ins/admin:

cd /opt/ins/admin


3 ) If the INS processes are not running, start them:

INS_START


4 ) Type INS_CLI at the prompt. The Dial-Up Frame Relay Command Line Interface main menu appears, as shown in the following example.

As shown in the example, the Dial-Up Frame Relay Command Line Interface main menu presents 16 options. Each option is indexed by a number. You select one of the options by typing its number and pressing Enter. For instance, to display the list of active PRIs, you would type 1 and press Enter. (Throughout the rest of this book, the Dial-Up Frame Relay Command Line Interface main menu will be referred to as the INS CLI main menu.)

Options 1 through 9 select read-only Command Response screens and displays. Options 10 through 15 select configuration screens and menus. Option 16 quits The INS CLI main menu and returns you to the DAS Server Shelf's UNIX prompt.

When you display read-only screens, the following information lines appear on some screens:

When you display the Configuration screens, the following information line appears:

Enter 'c' to Commit Changes or 'q' to Quit

When using these screens to configure an option, type in the value and press Enter to move the cursor to the next field, the square brackets. When you reach the final field, make sure you have entered the desired values in each field, then type c and press Enter to save your changes. If you do not want to save the values you entered, type q and press Enter. You can re-access the configuration menu from the INS CLI main menu.

Some configuration screens will have additional information fields describing a field's parameters.

The rest of this chapter describes the read-only Command Response screens and configuration menus.

To reach any of these screens or menus, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the INS CLI main menu, enter the index number of desired option.

Step 2 Press Enter, the desired screen or menu will appear.

The List Layer 3 Statistics Command Response screen, shown in the example, displays counts of the various ISDN D-channel Layer 3 messages. These messages, which control the process of establishing, controlling, and terminating an ISDN call, are defined in the ISDN specification, Q.931, and recommendations I.450 and I.451.

Since there are both transmitted (Txd) and received (Rxd) messages listed, they can be useful for pointing to which end of the ISDN signalling channel is not responding.

9. Display Layer 2 Statistics (Stats)

The Display Layer 2 Stats option calls up the List Layer 2 Statistics Command Menu, shown in the example. With this screen, you specify the DLCI of the configured PRI whose Layer 2 Statistics you want. It has a Clear Stats After [y/n] option. Selecting y (yes) for this option will clear these layer 2 statistic counters after you have viewed them.

After you have specified the PRI's DLCI and the Clear Stats After option, type c in the Commit Changes field to display the The List Layer 2 Statistics Command Response screen:

List Layer 2 Statistics Command Response Example Screen ******************************************************************************** * cedar * * * * LIST LAYER 2 STATISTICS COMMAND RESPONSE * * ------------------------------------------------ * * * * I Frames Xtd = 7 XID Frames Rxd = 0 * * RR Frames Xtd = 9345 UI Frames Rxd = 0 * * RNR Frames Xtd = 0 Invalid Frames Rxd = 0 * * RJ Frames Xtd = 0 Sabm Errors = 0 * * SABME Frames Xtd = 0 Frame RJ Errors = 0 * * DISC Frames Xtd = 0 * * UA Frames Xtd = 4 * * DM Frames Xtd = 0 * * Frame RJ Frames Xtd = 0 * * XID Frames Xtd = 0 * * UI Frames Xtd = 0 * * I Frames Rxd = 7 * * RR Frames Rxd = 9348 * * RNR Frames Rxd = 0 * * RJ Frames Rxd = 0 * * SABME Frames Rxd = 4 * * DISC Frames Rxd = 0 * ?****UA Frames Rxd = 0*******************************************************?

The List Layer 2 Statistics Command Response screen, shown in the example, displays counts of various ISDN D-channel layer 2 protocol frames. This link-layer protocol, specified in ISDN specification Q.921, is Link Access Protocol D (LAP-D). LAP-D is used to convey user information, i.e., the layer 3 D-channel messages between layer 3 entities, between the DAS Server Shelf and the ISDN switch providing the PRI.

There are transmitted (Xtd) and received (Rxd) frames listed which can be useful for pointing out which side of the ISDN interface is having a problem.

10. Modify CDR Configuration

The Modify CDR Configuration Command menu, shown in the example, allows you to configure the collection parameters for Call Detail Records (CDRs). CDRs which are described in detail in the following appendix, Call Detail Records, are the records of each Frame Relay Dial-Up or Dial-Backup call. A CDR contains the calling Automatic Number Identification (ANI), the called number, the start and stop times for the call, and the cause for the call being terminated.

Modify CDR Configuration Menu Example ******************************************************************************** * cedar * * * * MODIFY CDR CONFIGURATION COMMAND * * ------------------------------- * * * * CDR Interval [ ] * * * * # of backups allowed [ ] * * * * Enter 'c' to Commit Changes OR 'q' to Quit [ ] * * * * INFO: 30 to 1440 minutes.
