1.2 RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 Overview

RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 provides a complete management solution for monitoring and controlling the ACE-201/622 device. This network management solution conforms to the ITU-T Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) recommendations for SNMP management systems, known as the FCAPS model:

• Fault management – detects and correlates fault in network devices, isolates faults, and initiates recovery actions.

• Configuration management – tracks configuration changes and configures, installs, and distributes software and configuration files across the network.

• Accounting management – collects accounting data and generates network usage reports.

Chapter 1 Introduction User's Manual

1-2 RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 Overview RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622

• Performance management – continuously monitors network performance (QoS, CoS) and resource allocation.

• Security management – controls and restricts access to network resources.

The following are the management tasks for ACE-201/622:

• System level operations

• Port level operations.

Changing Priority

You can assign one or more priorities to each VCL. The valid range for priorities is 0 to 64. A priority that was already assigned cannot be assigned to another VCL.

If you assign priority 0 to a VCL, you cannot assign any other value to that VCL. In addition, a priority of 0 automatically includes all unselected priorities. These unselected priorities belong to this VCL or queue until they are assigned to another VCL.

The Priority field appears in the Connect VCL and Change Prioritydialog boxes. The Priority field is presented as a row of cells.

To change VCL priority:


2. Click <Tables>.

3. Select the desired cell to assign the corresponding priority to the VCL or que.



Cell colors indicate the following:

Blue – Priority is already assigned to a VCL or queue, indicated by the text inside the cell. Blue cells are not selectable.

Gray – Priority is available to be assigned to a VCL or queue.

Yellow – When you select a gray cell, the cell turns yellow.

Configuring the LAN Table for a Bridge

The LAN Table (also known as the forwarding database) holds up to 2048 static or dynamic entries. The user configures static entries, while dynamic entries are added to the table by the learning process. When a frame arrives, the source MAC address is checked against the database. If a static entry already exists in the database, no learning is done. If a dynamic entry exists, the aging time of that entry is updated. If no such entry exists, a new one is created.

Assigning VLAN Membership to the Second ATM Bridge Port

Defining the VLAN members associates the bridge port to a group of bridge ports according to VLAN membership. When a frame arrives at the ACE-201/622, its VID is examined and admitted only to the group of ports that are members in this VLAN. For example, in order to allow a VLAN frame that is tagged with VID 100 to flow via a certain ATM bridge port (VCC), this ATM bridge port and the ETH bridge port should both be members of VLAN 100.

To assign VLAN membership:

1. In the Connect VCL dialog box, click <Next>.

Configuring the LAN Table for the Bridge (Optional)

The LAN Table (also known as the forwarding database) holds up to 2048 static or dynamic entries. Static entries are configured by the user. Dynamic entries are added to the table by the learning process. When a frame arrives, the source MAC address is checked against the database. If a static entry already exists in the database, no learning is done. If a dynamic entry exists, the aging time of that entry is updated. If no such entry exists, a new one is created.

In this case, the necessary information is dynamically learned.

RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 Changing User Names 6-1

Chapter 6

Security Management RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 provides for secure access at the menu, dialog box, and function (add, change, delete, view) levels.

6.1 Adding Users

Part of security management is creating and adding users in the system. Each user has to have a username and a password to be identified when logging in. Each user is normally assigned a set of permissions, as follows:

• Administrator – Unlimited access to all operations including User Administration

• Operator – Full Write mode and access to all except for User/System Administration (read only)

• Technician – Limited access to configuration operations and read-only mode for Event Browser

• Monitor – Read-only mode for configuration operations, and has no access to other applications.

For details about how to add users, see Chapter 4, RADview Functions Security in the RADview-EMS/NGN (PC/Unix) system manual.

6.2 Changing User Names

A unique username identifies the user when accessing a multi-user system. A user name is assigned to the user and can later be changed.

For details on how to change a user name, see Chapter 4 in the RADview-EMS/NGN (PC/Unix) system manual.

Chapter 6 Security Management User's Manual

6-2 Setting Management Access Authorization RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622

6.3 Changing Passwords

A password together with a corresponding username is necessary in order to gain access to the system. You can personalize and change your login password to easily remember it. To be able to change to a new password, you have to know the old one for verification purposes. Only letters and numbers are valid password characters.

For details on how to change passwords in RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622, see Chapter 4 in the RADview-EMS/NGN (PC/Unix) system documentation.

6.4 Setting Management Access Authorization

Using the EMS Security Console

The EMS Admin Console hosts the EMS administration tools, which are called consoles. The EMS Security Console is a tool that enables users with security administrative rights to do the following:

• View and manage the EMS Security profiles in a graphical interface

• Create and edit security profiles

• Manage user accounts.

Figure 6-1. EMS Admin Console – EMS Security Administrator

User's Manual Chapter 6 Security Management

RADview-EMS/NGN ACE-201/622 Setting Management Access Authorization 6-3

The main application window is split into three parts:

• Left upper side – A tree of the security profiles

• Right upper side – A list of users that share the selected profile

• Bottom – A list of all of the users.

The operations specific to the EMS Security Administrator are:

• Profile – Add, edit, and remove profiles

• Users – Add, edit, and remove users

• Login – View the list of users who are currently logged in and log out a user

• Options – Configure password policies, user’s account policies, and user’s audit policies.

For a complete description, see the RADview-EMS/NGN (PC/Unix) User’s Manual.

Setting a Security Profile

A profile is a hierarchical tree that is comprised of permissions (actions).

Each action that is subject to security has a function label for a specific operation. A profile is composed of labels.

Each function label has a predefined place in the profile tree structure, according to the category in which it is assigned, that is, permissions for an agent, a range, configuration, and so forth.

A label can have different permission rights:

• Write (which includes Read)

• Read

• Not Available.

Setting Permissions

Figure 6-2 shows the available permissions on the right pane and the individual permissions that have been assigned to a profile on the left pane.

The types of profiles are:

• Mandatory – Administrator, Operator, Technician, and Monitor

Mandatory profiles cannot be edited or deleted.

• User-defined – Created from scratch or derived from an existing profile.

A user is assigned only one role (profile); however, a role (profile) can be assigned to many users.

Note

The hierarchical permission tree shows:

• Available permissions that have been loaded (on the right pane)

• Group permissions

• Individual permissions that have been assigned (and can be modified) for the new profile (on the left pane)

• Permissions that have been modified for a range of IP addresses (on the left pane)

• Permissions that have been modified for a specific slot or port instance (on the left pane).
