Chapter 20 Configuring Network Management
Also, at the workstation, the /etc/hosts table and routing must be set up for each node in the network.
This enables network management using SNMP and statistics collection using TFTP via inband ILMI.
Assuming an isolated network for the nodes, the workstation must be isolated from the NIS reference
pages so that the Cisco WAN Manager workstation consults the /etc/hosts table. Refer to the Cisco WAN
Manager Operations manual.
Example of the display using cnfnwip to configure IP Relay address (required for each node):
beta
Active Network IP Address:
Active Network IP Subnet Mask:
This Command: cnfnwip
Enter active network IP address:
Step 6 Once the workstation and BPX switch interface have been set up, you can start Cisco WAN Manager.
The following example shows the dsplan screen after you've started Cisco WAN Manager and the
communication sockets are active.
"Sockets" is the BSD Unix name for connections between processes, typically used in network
communication.
Example of dsplan after Cisco WAN Manager has been started:
beta
Active IP Address:
IP Subnet Mask:
IP Service Port:
Default Gateway IP Address:
Maximum LAN Transmit Unit:
Ethernet Address:
Control Socket - Ready
Open Socket Descriptor - 2
Last Command: dsplan
Next Command:
Figure 20-4 shows an example of a Cisco WAN Manager workstation LAN connection to a BPX switch
on a network with no gateway router, nor connection to another LAN. This type of LAN connection
could also be connected through a "Hub" which is essentially a signal splitter (passive or active).
