C H A P T E R 5 Network Element Management This chapter describes how to manage chassis using the Cisco 7600 Router Manager, and consists of the following primary sections: • Chassis Layer2/Layer3 Management Window • Network Element Management Window • MAC Address Query Window Cisco 7600 Router Manager User Guide OL-6563-01 5-1
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Chassis Layer2/Layer3 Management Window Chassis Layer2/Layer3 Management Window The Chassis Layer2/Layer3 Management window provides capabilities to enable or disable Cisco discovery, unidirectional, LAN and IP routing protocols on the network element. To launch the Chassis Layer2/Layer3 Management window, perform one of the following: • Right–click a Site object within the Network or Physical containment views, then choose CSM/7600 Manager > Chassis Mgmt–IP.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Chassis Layer2/Layer3 Management Window Figure 5-1 Chassis Layer2/Layer3 Management Window The Chassis Layer2/Layer3 Management window includes the following areas: • Layer 2 Configuration • Layer 3 Configuration Cisco 7600 Router Manager User Guide OL-6563-01 5-3
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Chassis Layer2/Layer3 Management Window Layer 2 Configuration The Layer 2 Configuration area provides the following information: • CDP—Displays the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) global status on the network element, enabled or disabled. • UDLP—Displays the UniDirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLP) global status on the network element: enabled, aggressive, or disabled. The “aggressive” option is not applicable for CatOS. • 802.1x—Displays the 802.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Network Element Management Window Network Element Management Window The Network Element Management window provides monitoring and management information for properties related to the Cisco 7600 series Internet Router. These properties include the Telnet and Enable passwords, global performance logging, and SNMP properties for the entire switch.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Network Element Management Window Figure 5-2 Network Element Management Window The Network Element object list (left-hand side of the window) allows multiple objects to be selected, so that configuration changes can be applied to multiple Network Element objects at the same time.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Network Element Management Window • SNMP Trap Tab • Device Management Tab • Additional Notes Tab Configuration Tab The following areas are available on the Configuration tab of the Network Element Management window: • System • IP Address • Operating System • IOS Session • Cat OS Session • Reset System • Actions System The System area provides the following information: • System Name—Fully qualified name of the switch or router.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Network Element Management Window • Expected OS Type—This attribute is used by a client that initiates a deployment context to indicate the type of operating system expected on a managed device. This can only be changed when the device is decommissioned. Values are: – Catalyst OS Only – Hybrid OS – Native OS • Active OS Type—The operating system type detected on the managed device.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Network Element Management Window Note • Password—Password to establish a CatOS management session with the device over telnet. • EXEC Password—Password to enter privileged EXEC mode in a CatOS session. If the above passwords are incorrect, some window values may report as ERROR. Reset System The Reset System area provides the following information: • Last Restart Reason—Text message displaying why the switch or router was restarted.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Network Element Management Window Actions The Actions area provides the following information: • Commission— Commissions the object manually. You can commission the object only if the object is in a decommissioned state. Clicking this button forces a subchassis discovery to be executed, and propagates the commissioned status to all subobjects. • Decommission—Decommissions the object manually and propagates the decommissioned status to all subobjects.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Network Element Management Window • Cat OS SNMP IOS SNMP Note The attributes within this area are inactive for Catalyst OS devices. The IOS SNMP area provides the following information: • SNMP v2c Read Community—The v2c community string used to read data from the agent. • SNMP v2c Write Community—The v2c community string used to write data from the agent.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Network Element Management Window SNMP Trap Tab The following areas are available on the Configuration tab of the Network Element Management window: • Trap Generation • SNMP Trap Trap Generation The Trap Generation area provides the following information: • SNMP Trap Status—Indicates the level at which SNMP traps are enabled. The level is one of these values: – disabled – layer2Only—SNMP traps are enabled on the datalink layer only.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Network Element Management Window •layer2Only—SNMP trap client is defined on the datalink layer only. •layer3Only—SNMP trap client is defined on the network layer only. •layer2And3—SNMP trap client is defined on the datalink and network layers. Note • The IP address of the Cisco EMF server host should be in this list at all times.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management Network Element Management Window The SNMP Trap Client Configure window provides the following: – SNMP Trap Client Address—The IP address to which SNMP traps are sent. – SNMP Trap Client Community String—The community string used within the SNMP trap. – SNMP Version—The SNMP version running on the device, snmpv1c or snmpv2. – Add Client—Adds a client to the client list. – Remove Client—Removes the client from the client list.
Chapter 5 Network Element Management MAC Address Query Window MAC Address Query Window MAC Addresses are used within a network to identify specific ports on an interface. Other devices in the network use MAC addresses to locate ports in order to create and update routing tables and data structures. The MAC Address Query window allows you to query a Network Element for a MAC address.

Chapter 5 Network Element Management MAC Address Query Window The following areas are available on the MAC Address Query window: • Network Element • MAC Address Query Network Element The Network Element area consists of a listing of all network elements available via the selected object. MAC Address Query The MAC Address Query area provides the following: • MAC Address—Indicates the MAC address to be queried. The MAC address should be entered in xxxx.xxxx.
