be held liable for any damages that are a direct or indirect result
of information contained by this guide.
Atrica equipment uses electronic components that are sensitive
to static electricity. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) from your
clothing or other items around you, even at levels that do not
create a spark, can cause damage. You should take all possible
precautions to prevent ESD damage when working with printed
circuit boards. Keep each board in its protective conductive bay
until you are ready to install it. Before you touch a printed
circuit board, be sure to put on a grounded antistatic wrist strap
and leash to free yourself of static. Then place each printed
circuit board on a grounded antistatic mat while config-setting
its configuration. If you lack a grounded antistatic wrist strap,
leash, and mat, be careful to stand in one place when you work
(so you do not generate static electricity by friction), free
yourself of static by touching a grounded metal object before
handling a printed circuit board, and place the board on its
protective conductive bay while you check or config-set its
configuration.

Lab#4 A-2000 Hardware Setup
Lab Objectives: The purpose of this lab is to train individuals how to configure A-2000
devices for network management access. On the front of every A-2000
product there is a DE-9 connector. By plugging a cable into this port
communication with the A-2000 device will be enabled via RS-232.
Commands sent to the device are done through a firmware upgradeable
Command Line Interface (CLI). Qualified technical people may also
access the CLI via Telnet
After completing this lab, you will be able to:
Identify hardware components of A-2000.
Physically build a network using Atrica hardware.

Step 9:
At the command prompt type the command: < clear config startup >
Note: The command shown above will reset the A-2000 to its factory state this
includes all (IP parameters). In reality step 9 would not usually need to be
performed. We only perform this step in a classroom environment so that we can
start working with your groups A-2000 from a known initial state.

LB31008-AE 16
CONFIDENTIAL
There are four possible methods for managing the A-2000 in a network. Each
method of management requires you to configure relevant IP parameters of the
A-2000 so that it can be managed on the network. These methods are called:
1. Sideband Management
2. Out-band Management
3. In-band Management
4. Console Port Management
The first method configures one of the access ports so that management traffic
is redirect through this configured port. This method is called: Sideband
Management and is not supported in the field by Atrica and will therefore not
be used in class.
Using the second method you manage a specific A-2000 device through the Out-
Band port (a.k.a Host Port) located on the front panel. The third management
method is called In-band management. Using In-band management, a Loopback
address is assigned to the A-2000, and it is managed through the network via its
Network ports attached to an IFC port contained within a Core device chassis.
Step 10:
After step 9 is executed and the system completes its reset process as evidenced
by the sequence of power-up messages appearing on your display. Log back into

the system as . Type the following commands to verify that A-2000 has
return to its factory default: < show interface loopback info >.
Next physical connect your teams portion the classroom network supplied by
your instructor. Normally your instructor will either give you a sheet of paper
which containing the classroom network or he/she will draw this network on the
classrooms white board and direct your attention to this drawing.
-
LB31008-AE 18
CONFIDENTIAL
In the cases of Out-of-Band or Inband management before the A-2000 device can
communicate with the external world, hence be managed by ASPEN, the
Console port must be used to initially configure the A-2000 with its required
IP parameters. The required initial IP parameters that must configured are:
1. IP Address (Host-Port or Loopback)
2. Subnetmask
3. Default_gateway:
4. SNMP Community Strings
In this lab we will configure the A-2000 for In-band management, since this is
the most common management method used in the field.
-
19 LB31008-AE
CONFIDENTIAL
Step 11:
Look on the network diagram and configure the A-2000 Loopback Address(s)
assigned to your lab groups A-2000 devices with the correct (if you are not sure
what address have been assigned to your groups devices check with your
instructor)
IP Address
Subnet mask
Default gateway
Snmp community strings
Use the following command line to perform this action:
< Config-set interface loopback ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx >
x=values observed on network diagram
Note: The values for the A-2000 s four IP parameters listed in step 11 must be
configured the using the config-set command to properly communicate on the
network, which you physically setup and cabled during step 10. Your instructor
should have given you a network diagram representing the classroom network
prior to beginning lab one. The instructor should also have assigned your lab
group a specific section of the network to build. Contact your instructor if you
did not receive a network diagram.
-
LB31008-AE 20
CONFIDENTIAL
Step 12:
To verify steps 11 a console prompt type:
Type < show interface loopback info >
You will now observe that the ip parameters assigned to your lab group devices
appears on the display.
-
21 LB31008-AE
CONFIDENTIAL
Step 13:
Next in this lab we will configure SNMP for initial network management access.
Type following lines:
< config-set snmp-server community read-only public >
< config-set snmp-server community read-write private >
-
LB31008-AE 22
CONFIDENTIAL
Step 14:
< config-set snmp-server contact xxxxxxxxx
< config-set snmp-server location xxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx = name and location for the contact person and location of the A-2000
device.
You should repeat steps 11 14 for every 2000 network device, which has been
assigned to your lab group.
The ASPEN network management platform can now be used to manage the
network. Now we want to make sure that as a technical person who maybe
performing OAM&P on the Atrica you will have had the opportunity to analyze
the full power up sequence associated with the A-2000.
In order to familiarize yourself with this sequence perform the steps beginning
on the next page.

Step 16:
The ability to add and remove users is an important tool for the NOC center
personnel. Some times the various users need to have different levels of access
privileges. The commands illustrated in the next few steps will show you how
add and remove users with different levels of access. While logged into the CLI
as root type the following command:
Add a new users to your system called TeamX, with a password config-set to
TeamX, with a privilege level config-set to admin.
(Remember typing a question mark after any command will prompt you, with
the next possible command options.) Note: In creating user TeamX; X = your
assigned lab group number.
-
25 LB31008-AE
CONFIDENTIAL
Step 17:
Now logout of the system as the root user and login as the user you created.
Now that you have been shown an example for adding users try adding users for
each member of your lab group. Give one of the users you add an privilege_level
of read-only, and create another user with a privilege_level of read-write.
Were you successful in adding these users? ____________
Use the show command to verify that you have actual added users.
Step 18:
Logout out of the A-2000 as administrator. Now log back into the A-2000 as one
of your read-only user. After you login try adding an additional users. Were
you successful in adding the new users?
If you were unsuccessful in adding the new user, why?
_______________________________
Step 19:
While still logged in as the read-write users created in step 17, type a
question mark. Is the available command list different now when compared to
when you were logged in as admin?
______________________________________________

LB31008-AE 26
CONFIDENTIAL
Step 20:
Sometimes it is useful verify connectivity when you have a need to troubleshoot
network problems. The Ping command is implemented in the CLI of the A-2000
and useful for verifying network connectivity. The Atrica command line syntax
for using this command is shown in the screen below.
Using the Ping command verify the connectivity for the network built by your
lab group in this lab.
Did you get an is alive message for your lab groups network? ___________
If you did not get an alive message, your lab group must figure out why.
If you need assistance contact your instructor.

27 LB31008-AE
CONFIDENTIAL
Step 21:
For various reasons at times it will become necessary to know the status of the
A-2000 interfaces. Interface information maybe acquired by issuing the
following CLI command < show interface > and its associated submenu
commands. The screen below illustrates this command and its usages.
The status of the Network 1 and 2 connections on the A-2000 can be ascertained
by typing the at the CLI command prompt

First your instructor will assign your lab team a portion of the classroom
network. Review and connect your assigned portion as per the network diagram
shown on the previous page. (Please keep in mind the actual network that
you will configure may vary from the one shown on the previous page,
because the actual network configured will depend upon the
availability of specific equipment located in your classroom/lab
environment. Your instructor will provide you exact instruction in this
regard). Connect the network elements as necessary using the appropriate
Optical Fiber and/or Cat 5 cabling. Although the initial steps in this lab are
applicable to the A-8800 labeled #1 as shown in the diagram on the previous
page, the same steps will be used to configure all A-8X00/4100 network
elements. Your alb team needs to needs to configure all IP addresses to their
respective A-2000 and A-8X00/4100 in accordance with the table listed below:

Step 4
Adding Required Routes and Host to the ASPEN Workstation
The last step which maybe required to allow network management
communications to take place along a point-to-point link between your lab
teams Atrica devices is that you may need to add routes among different
networks and host within your configured network. The screen shots above and
on the next page illustrate the commands used at your ASPEN workstation to
add these routes to the stations routing table.
It must be remembered that in an actual network you will only need to perform
this action only if the network and host are not already present.

Enabling the Host-Port for Network Management
The last step that is required to enable you to manage Atrica A-8X00/4100
device through the host-port is to enable the port itself this done by typing the
following CLI command: < config-set interface host-port 1 admin-state
enable >
Once this command is typed in-band management is disabled. In order to re-
enable in-band management you must disable management through the host-
port.
Please re-enable in-band management NOW before proceeding further in this

Lab Procedure
Configure Edge Groups
Step 1:
Defining Edge Group Virtual Interfaces
Before we can successfully manage rings of A-2000 devices, whether Dual
Attached or Dual Homed to A-8X00/4100/A-4000 interfaces, we must define
special virtual entities called Edge Groups. Configuring Edge Groups allow A-
2000 edge devices to:
Have their Network ports connected to two different physical interfaces of a
Core device. The Core device interfaces will share the same IP address. You
will find this type interface connectivity in a Dual Attached topology.
Have their Network ports connected to different physical interfaces on
different Core devices. The Core device interfaces will have different IP
addresses in the same subnet. You will find this type interface connectivity in
a Dual Homed topology.
Use a special modified RIP packet to help facilitate management traffic flow
between A-2000 and A-8X00/4100/A-4000 interfaces during periods of
interface or link failure.

53 LB31008-AE
CONFIDENTIAL
To verify and define Edge Groups, enter the following CLI command at the
command prompt of the A-8100(s) that attached direct to the A-2000(s) in our
network:. Verify whether or not any Edge Groups are currently configured on
your lap teams A-8X00/4100/A-4000 by entering the following command at the
command prompt:
< show interface ethernet XX/* edge-group >
< show interface edge-group * ip info >
< config-set interface ethernet XX/PP edge-group X
XX/PP = IFC Slot/Port; X = Edge Group Number
< config-set interface edge-group XX ip address/subnet mask >
XX = Edge Group Number
The screen capture above depicts an example of using the edge group command.
Add Physical Port to Virtual Edge Groups
The command below will be used to assign a specific IFC port to a predefined
Edge Group number.
Console> < config-set interface ethernet XX/PP edge-group X
XX/PP = IFC Slot/Port; X = Edge Group Number
At this time look at the network diagram and define the required edge groups
interface connection points for your teams A-8100. You may need to collaborate

Introduction To ASPEN
ASPEN consists of a number of components, including the ASPEN Application
Server
(AS), Backend Server (BES), Database (DB), Element Manager web server
(EM), and
GUI, as well as the OSS Server and the OSS, CNM, and SPM Northbound
clients.
Installation of these components depends on the package you have purchased
and
the configuration of the network management environment.
The AS, BES, DB, EM, and OSS Server can only be installed on Solaris
machines. The
OSS client can only be installed on a Windows computer. The GUI, CNM client,
and
SPM client can be installed either on a Solaris station or a Windows computer.
This chapter provides information about installing and uninstalling ASPEN and
its
components, and contains the following sections:

Updating ASPEN Network Manager Software
Quitting the Installation Process
Solaris Installation General Information
Atrica provides two types of installations for ASPEN:
Typical There are two types of typical installations:
Full Used when all the ASPEN Network Manager server components are
to be installed on a single UNIX station.
Engine Used to install the ASPEN database, Backend Server (BES),
Application Server (AS), and the Element Managers on a single UNIX
station
Custom Used when the ASPEN Network Manager software is to be
distributed over more than one station.
The recommended distribution of ASPEN components for networks with fewer
than 1500 devices is: Database, Application, and Backend Servers on one UNIX
station, a backup Backend Server on a second UNIX station, and the ASPEN
Manager GUI on a Windows 2000/XP computer. Both Full and Custom
installation perform the following tasks:
Install the selected components into an installation directory
Link the installation directory to /opt/atrica
Create new ASPEN database files for database installation.
Set ASPEN database and Application Server IP addresses, including
redundancy settings
Initialize the ASPEN environment
The complete ASPEN Network Manager can be installed on SUN Solaris 8/9
systems. The ASPEN Network Manager Graphic User Interface (GUI) however,
can be installed on either SUN Solaris 8/9 or Windows NT 4/2000/XP. If the
Backend Server and the database are installed on the same UNIX station, the
Backend Server automatically performs a backup of the database once a day. If
the Backend Server and the database are installed on separate UNIX stations,
perform the database backup manually.
