1System Administration Manual, Version 5.0.2


Chapter 1 System Administration Overview

GigaVu Functions and CapabilitiesThe GigaVu local manager is an application Alloptic developed that runs over an

embedded web server on each chassis. GigaVu resides in the Switch Controller Module

(SCM) of the edgeGEAR 2000 and the Management port of the edge 200.

Using web-based point and click technology, the operator can easily configure all aspects

of the GigaVu network. Additionally, it actively monitors the status of all system

components and regulates user privileges and security. GigaVu is SNMP compliant. A

common workstation with a 100BaseT Network Interface Card (NIC) that runs

Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher is required to communicate with the

SCM/Mgmt port over a Fast Ethernet Connection.

The GigaVu operator plugs the workstation into the Mgmt RJ45 port, activates the

application, and logs in. The direct connection between the workstation and port requires a

Category 5 Cross-over cable.

An opening Home screen presents a series of top level tabs that allow access to the

GigaVu functions (Figure 1). The tabs displayed are dependent upon the user access

privileges the System Administrator sets up. Click on the appropriate tab to navigate to the

various functions.

Saving Configuration Data

2 System Administration Manual, Version 5.0.2


Saving Configuration Data

Throughout this chapter, you will use a variety of windows to perform system

administration functions. Each configuration window has a Submit Button that allows you

to save configuration changes to system memory. System memory is working memory. As

such, it is dependent on a persistent memory source to maintain configuration data.

A system reset or reboot uses flash-memory for its configuration data source. The File

Services tab provides access to the Save/Erase Configuration window, which allows you

to save your changes in Flash Memory.

System AdministrationGigaVu provides several system administration functions. A System Administrator may

manage GigaVu operator access, chassis configurations, system alarm reporting, and

SNMP configuration. GigaVu also provides tools for maintaining system software

loads. The System Administrator can upload and download both image software and

configuration data.

System control functions are linked to GigaVu to allow hardware provisioning, status

reporting, performance monitoring, and SNMP configuration management from a

workstation. Cascaded navigation tabs provide access to system control windows where

configuration changes are executed and operational status is retrieved. See Figure 2 for the

System Administration tabs.

The Operator Management function governs GigaVu system access. Four default logins

are shipped with the system. Navigation tabs vary according to access privileges. Access

privileges are covered in Add, Delete, Modify Operator Access on page 11.

If the default chassis IP Addresses are changed, and then lost, access the RS232 port to

recover them. See the System Maintenance Manual for the procedure.

GigaVu System Administration Navigation Paths

Login

When you login to the GigaVu system, the Home window is presented. The Home

window is the initial entry point to the system and contains the main navigation tabs

available to you. These tabs are accessible from any window. You select a path to a

function with a single click on its tab. Each subsequent window will present additional

tabs for the navigation options available to you. The System Administration Navigation

Tree (Figure 2) displays a visual representation of the path to each System Administration

function.

Best Practice: Only ten users may be configured for system access. Five can be

logged in simultaneously; however, Alloptic recommends that only one user be

logged in at a time.

Chapter 2 IP Management and Security

Provisioning Out of Band ManagementOut of Band Access allows access to the GigaVu manager through the local 10/100

Ethernet management interfaces. The edgeGEAR 2000 has two management ports

provided on the SCM. The edge 200 has one management port.

To provision Out of Band Access (Figure 3 and Figure 4), perform the following steps.

1. Click on the System Provisioning tab.

2. Click on the Admin tab.

The IP Address Configuration window will open.

3. In the Chassis Primary column, enter the IP Address for the Local Management Port.

4. Enter the Subnet Mask for the Local Management Port.

5. Press Submit.6. Execute the Save Configuration procedure to save the updated configuration in

Flash Memory.


16/76



Provisioning Inband AccessInband Access allows a Service Provider to access the GigaVu manager through the

Gigabit Ethernet ports. Formerly, GigaVu access was limited to just the Out of Band

Fast Ethernet Local Management ports. Now, the Service Provider can set up inband

access to the local GigaVu manager. This helps to reduce costs and the complexity ofhaving to provision local management ports when requirements dictate that it is preferable

to consolidate management interfaces inband.

The edgeGEAR 2000 has two management ports provided on the SCM. The edge 200 has

one management port.

To provision Inband Access (Figure 3 and Figure 4), proceed with the following:



The IP Address Configuration window will open.

3. In the Inband Admin column, enter the IP Address to be used for Inband Access.

4. Enter the Subnet Mask to be used for Inband Access.

Do not use the same IP subnet used for management ports 1 and 2.

5. Enter the VLAN to be used.

The VLAN ID must be unique, not used elsewhere in the Alloptic chassis.

VLANs 0-63 are reserved and cannot be used.

6. Enter the Maximum Bandwidth for the Inband Access Interface (.064Mb to 10Mb.

.512Mb recommended).

7. Select the Egress Port (the Ethernet port that is providing Inband Access).

8. Press Submit.9. Change the status of the Inband Access Interface to Enabled.

10. Press Submit.

11. Execute the Save Configuration procedure to save the updated configuration in

Flash Memory.

NOTE: To modify existing inband configuration, disable the Admin State first.

Then follow the above steps.

Configuring an Access List



Access List OverviewThe Access List window allows a service provider to set up filtered access to a chassis.

Filtered access allows a given management station (or host computer) to gain access to the

GigaVu capabilities based on an IP Address filter. The Access List will allow only what

is configured.

Access Lists can be configured for each SCM/Management port, in addition to the Inband

Access Interface. By default, if there are no addresses specified in the Access List for a

system chassis, any host computer can access it.




3. Click on the Access List tab. The Access List Configuration window will appear.

4. From the drop down box, enter the interface for which you want to filter access.

5. Select an Index for the Access List item you want to provision.

6. Fill in the desired value for the Filter IP Address.

7. If required, add a value for the Filter Mask.

8. Press the ADD button.

9. Execute the Save Configuration procedure to save the updated configuration in

Flash Memory.

Caution: If the first address is not entered in properly, you can loose access to the

system.

Caution: Enter the subnet you are on first to prevent blocking all access.

Note: See the System Maintenance Manual for instructions on clearing the

Access List.

Note: This feature may interact with the Network Address Translation (NAT) and
