Chapter 7: Magnum Router GUI Manager ___________________________________________________________________ Display Magnum Utilization The Display Magnum Utilization screen gives the ability to show the Magnum Router status in both a text and graphical format. It also has the ability to capture the sampled data to a file (in a comma separated format). The graphical display shows performance in both a BAR chart format and a LINE chart format.
Chapter 7: Magnum Router GUI Manager ___________________________________________________________________ As can be seen in the previous screen shot, this is a very comprehensive data display that requires some time to actually load and compare all data received. In some cases, it may take several seconds when this function is actually selected before data is displayed. This screen is broken into 3 sections; The Menu bar, the Chart Section and the Data section.
Chapter 7: Magnum Router GUI Manager ___________________________________________________________________ The captured data is saved in a comma-separated format (.CSV) that can easily be imported into another application such as Excel. Using the captured data, it would then be easy to plot such thing as bandwidth usage over a given amount of time. Chart Menu This display supports 2 types of charts supported, BAR and LINE.
Chapter 7: Magnum Router GUI Manager ___________________________________________________________________ Chart Section Overview As stated earlier, there are 2 different types of charts allowed in this display; BAR and LINE. The difference between them is the data that can be displayed. In the case of the BAR chart, all data in the text section can be displayed in a columnar format for each port. In the LINE chart, only 1 column of data can be displayed at a time for the selected ports.
Chapter 7: Magnum Router GUI Manager ___________________________________________________________________ Data Selection Received Bytes Received Frames Transmitted Bytes Transmitted Frames Estimated Bandwidth in use Port Utilization Port Bandwidth Figure 49 - Magnum Utilization Data Selection Bar In the BAR chart mode, all data except the BANDWIDTH can be displayed at one time. In the LINE chart mode, only one data column can be displayed at a time.
Chapter 7: Magnum Router GUI Manager ___________________________________________________________________ Line Chart The LINE chart can show only one column of data for all selected ports. To change the data being displayed on the chart, click on another data column heading. The previous data column will de-select itself and the new selection will be charted.
Chapter 7: Magnum Router GUI Manager ___________________________________________________________________ Port Status Strobe The Port Status Strobe is a convenient way to see each WAN port’s status from the Main screen. It automatically updates every 60 seconds (non changeable) and can supply snapshot information regarding the port status. When selected, a check mark is placed next to the Port Status Strobe menu item. This is used as an indicator as to whether the strobe is active or not.
Chapter 7: Magnum Router GUI Manager ___________________________________________________________________ Figure 54 - Port Status Strobe Snapshot Screen Help Menu Item (ALT-H) Selecting this item shows the Magnum Router Manager version and miscellaneous information that could be helpful in diagnosing problems.

Chapter 8: Magnum Router Specialized Functions ___________________________________________________________________ Chapter 8: Magnum Router Specialized Functions This chapter covers the specialized functions of the Magnum Router. These functions include Virtual Routing of DLCI’s, MVoIP (Micro-Band Voice Over IP) and Hybrid RIP routing. In the case of Virtual Routing and MVoIP, these are proprietary functions and a Magnum Router is required to be at each end-point of a circuit.
Chapter 8: Magnum Router Specialized Functions ___________________________________________________________________ For Example: Below is a simple diagram that could represent one application that would use a virtual DLCI.
Chapter 8: Magnum Router Specialized Functions ___________________________________________________________________ The WAN configuration screen would look like this: What has been accomplished in this example is that the PUBLIC DLCI of 100 now has the capability of sending data from the M1 (Marathon) port and the E1 (Ethernet) port to the remote Magnum Router using a public DLCI of 100. NON-Virtual DLCI’s As noted earlier, the Magnum Router is a Frame Relay switch and an IP router.
Chapter 8: Magnum Router Specialized Functions ___________________________________________________________________ This utilizes the frame switching capabilities of the Magnum Router by directing traffic from the PUBLIC DLCI of 100 to the PRIVATE DLCI of 105 and vice versa. A PUBLIC DLCI cannot be both a virtual DLCI and a “direct connect” DLCI at the same time.
Chapter 8: Magnum Router Specialized Functions ___________________________________________________________________ There is an MVoIP sample in chapter 9 that will assist in clarifying the programming requirements and steps. RIP Routing RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is implemented on the Magnum Router using a “hybrid” approach.
Chapter 9: Sample Configurations ___________________________________________________________________ Chapter 9: Sample Configurations This chapter describes sample configurations available as files on the Magnum Router Manager CD distributed with the Magnum Router Module. The configurations are some of the most common and useful applications for the Magnum Router Module. You can, if you choose, devise many other configurations, and use any of the sample configurations as a starting point.
Chapter 9: Sample Configurations ___________________________________________________________________ Sample 1 - Dedicated Point to Point Network Magnum/Marathon A Magnum/Marathon B Network: 10.1.100.0/24 Network: 172.16.1.0/24 IP Address: 172.16.1.250/24 Ethernet port IP Address: 10.1.100.250/24 Ethernet port A1 to M1 cable CSU/DSU WAN IP Address: 192.168.1.1/24 T1 Network Subnet: 192.168.1.0/24 CSU/DSU WAN IP Address: 192.168.1.
Chapter 9: Sample Configurations ___________________________________________________________________ Below are several screen shots of the Magnum-A and Magnum-B’s configuration. M1 Port Settings for both Magnum A and Magnum B Here, the M1 port is configured to act as a Frame Relay NETWORK port (FR_Dedicated), but to also act as a synchronizing port as well thus is it set for DCE. This means that the M1 port will supply a clocking source of 128k for the attached Marathon.
Chapter 9: Sample Configurations ___________________________________________________________________ WAN1 Port Settings for Magnum A Notice that the WAN1 port is set for DTE and the Link Type is set for DEDICATED_MASTER. As described above, this is the Frame Relay NETWORK port side. Also note that the Baud Rate box that was present for the M1 port has been replaced by a Carrier Rate box. This would be in external clock being supplied by the attached CSU/DSU, in this example 56k.
Chapter 9: Sample Configurations ___________________________________________________________________ WAN1 Port Settings for Magnum B Notice that the WAN1 port is set for DTE and the Link Type is set for DEDICATED_SLAVE. As described above, this is the Frame Relay USER port side.
Chapter 9: Sample Configurations ___________________________________________________________________ WAN Configuration for Magnum A and Magnum B In the above diagram, the main connection between the two sites is a standard DDS line supplied by a carrier. The speed of this line can be anywhere from 9.6k through 2.048m. However this line only supplied clocking information. The Magnum Router must then act as a Frame Relay switch and Frame Relay NETWORK or USER port.
Chapter 9: Sample Configurations ___________________________________________________________________ Master WAN IP Address for Magnum A The following table shows the Master WAN IP Address screen for Magnum A. Master WAN IP Address for Magnum B The following table shows the Master WAN IP Address screen for Magnum B.
Chapter 9: Sample Configurations ___________________________________________________________________ Just like any brand-x router, in order to route IP traffic, there must be an IP address on the WAN port. WAN-IP Route Map Here, the actual routing commands are created to allow Ethernet traffic to flow from Magnum-A to Magnum-B. See Chapter 7 for detailed information on using the Magnum Router Manager to change data in the WAN IP Route Map Table.
Chapter 9: Sample Configurations ___________________________________________________________________ Ethernet Configuration The following window illustrates the Ethernet Configuration associated with this sample configuration.
