About the CSX200
Ethernet LAN Connection
The CSX200 provides 10 Mbps Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 support through twelve (11 if Call Backup is enabled) 8-pin RJ45 10BASE-T ports on the front of the unit (see
).
Repeater Functionality — The CSX200 fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3 Repeater, AUI, and
10BASE-T specifications, and provides the flexibility to connect networks using IEEE 802.3,
Ethernet Version 1 or Version 2 equipment. The CSX200 transmits retimed data packets, regenerates the preamble, extends fragments, and arbitrates collisions.
The CSX200 automatically partitions problem segments, and reconnects repaired segments to the network. This feature minimizes the impact on network operation resulting from a problem on one segment by isolating the problem segment. Only devices on the problem segment are affected.
When the problem is solved, the CSX200 automatically reconnects the isolated segment to the network.
Polarity Detection and Correction — Each twisted pair port on the CSX200 incorporates a
Polarity Detection and Correction feature that allows the CSX200 to pass data regardless of the polarity of the twisted pair segment’s receive link. Cabletron does not recommend operating in this condition. When this condition is detected, remove the segment from the network and wire it correctly to reduce the potential for problems if equipment changes are made.
Flash EEPROMs — The CSX200 uses a Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only
Memory (EEPROM) that allows the downloading of new and updated firmware in conjunction with Cabletron Systems QuickSET or any device utilizing BootP or TFTP protocols.
LANVIEW LEDs — Cabletron Systems LANVIEW Status Monitoring and Diagnostics System is a troubleshooting tool that helps in diagnosing power failures, collisions, cable faults, and link problems. The LANVIEW LEDs are conveniently located on the CSX200 front panel.
RESET Button — Resetting the hub with the front panel RESET button reboots the CSX200 and initializes the processor. The RESET button is also used with the mode switches to clear NVRAM.

Optional Features
Rack Mounting Capabilities — The CSX200 can be installed in a 19-inch rack with an accessory package that includes the rackmount brackets, a strain-relief bracket for cable management, and mounting screws. The part number for the accessory package is
CSX200-ACCY-KIT. See
for complete rack mounting instructions.
Hardware Data Compression Module (CSX200-COMP/ENCR) — The same industry standard
STAC Electronics Stacker LZS Compression algorithm supported by CSX200 software is made available by an optional hardware data compression module that accelerates data compression for the CSX200 over PPP and Frame Relay. Depending on the packet type and size, hardware data compression provides a minimum of 2:1 data compression, giving 3 Mbps throughput on a T-1
WPIM interface. To use the hardware data compression module, compatible equipment (such as the CSX200, CSX400, and HSIM-W6 or other vendors’ equipment which conforms to the applicable standards), must be in use at both ends of the WAN link. When the hardware data compression module is installed on the board, it automatically assumes the compression task from software. There is no configuration necessary to prioritize hardware over software compression.

CSX200 Family User’s Guide
About the CSX200
IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
The CSX200 provides a standard 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) layer for Ethernet communications. All bridging and routing protocols are supported across the Ethernet link.
WAN Protocols
This device supports the following WAN protocols over the WAN port:
• Point-to-Point Compression Control Protocol (CCP) as defined by RFC 1962
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) as defined by RFC 1541
• Network Address Translation (NAT) routing as defined by RFC 1631
• Point-to-Point Protocol (LCP) as defined by RFC 1661
• Point-to-Point Protocol (BNCP) as defined by RFC 1638
• Point-to-Point Protocol (IPCP) as defined by RFC 1332
• Point-to-Point Protocol (IPXCP) as defined by RFC 1552
• Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
(CHAP) under PPP as defined by RFC 1994
• Point-to-Point Protocol Line Quality Monitoring (LQM) as defined by RFC 1333
• Point-to-Point Protocol Multilink Protocol (MP) as defined by RFC 1717
• Frame Relay Link Management Interface (LMI) as defined by ANSI T1.617 Annex D and ITU
Q.933 Annex A
• Frame Relay Data Encapsulation as defined by RFC 1490
• Frame Relay Data Compression Protocol (DCP) as defined by FRF.9
PPP is a data link layer industry standard WAN protocol for transferring multi-protocol data traffic over point-to-point connections. With this protocol, options such as security, data compression, and network protocols can be negotiated over the connection. Data compression allows Frame
Relay to negotiate compression over Frame Relay permanent virtual circuits (PVCs).
Frame Relay is a packet-switching data communications protocol that statistically multiplexes many data conversations over a single transmission link.
CSX200 Family User’s Guide 9
About the CSX200
Firmware Data Compression
The STAC Electronics Stacker LZS Compression algorithm provides a minimum of 2:1 firmware data compression for the CSX200 over PPP and Frame Relay. Firmware data compression is supported in software on each WAN interface for line speeds of up to 256 Kbps. per WPIM, which is equivalent to four DS0 channels. To use data compression, compatible equipment, (such as the
CSX200, CSX400, and HSIM-W6 or other vendors’ equipment which conforms to the applicable standards), must be in use at both ends of the WAN link. This firmware method of data compression is used as the default, if the hardware compression module is not installed.
HDLC
Cabletron Systems has provided the High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol which is used in conjunction with the WPIM-HDSL to conserve a user’s WAN bandwidth between two
Cabletron Systems products, over a point-to-point connection. Cabletron Systems products such as the CSX200, HSIM-W6, and CSX400 must be in use on both ends of the WAN link for these functions to work. The HDLC (RAW) protocol reduces the amount of overhead information that needs to be contained within each data packet to direct it to its destination. This decreased packet overhead provides the HDSL functions with more bandwidth to transfer user data.
DHCP and NAT
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Network Address Translation (NAT) method eliminates the expense of purchasing limited public IP addresses for each client on a local network, and the need to re-configure a client if it is moved to a different network.
The CSX200 acts as a DHCP server that allows individual clients (PCs, network equipment) to take turns using a range of private IP addresses (often referred to as local IP addresses), and provides optional secondary setup features for these clients on a per-port basis. The CSX200 distributes these addresses dynamically assigning a local IP address to an individual client from a range of 253 available addresses in its table on a first-come-first-served basis. This local IP address is then “leased” for a predetermined amount of time, which is configured for the particular port.
Each Ethernet port provides DHCP services for one Class C subnet and secondary setup features for individual clients that support the use of a default gateway, domain name and WINs server.
On the Wide Area Network (WAN) side, the Network Address Translation (NAT) routing method is used to enable clients assigned with local IP addresses to use the public IP address(es) of the
CSX200 WAN interface(s) to access the WAN.
10 CSX200 Family User’s Guide
About the CSX200
NOTE
A private or “local” network is referred to as a sub network that is using private or
“local” IP addresses. An “outside” network refers to a Wide Area Network (WAN) commonly known as an Internet, an Intranet is an “Internet” in use on a facility or campus where registered public IP addresses are required.
The NAT method allows several DHCP clients on a sub network to connect to WAN clients by allowing the DHCP clients to share a single public IP address. When the CSX200 uses NAT, the
NAT method modifies the IP headers and addresses, and the selected fields in upper layer protocol headers. This is done to replace the hidden local IP addresses from the sub network with one or more public InterNic assigned IP addresses that can be sent over the outside network on the
CSX400 WAN interfaces. Once the CSX200 is assigned at least one public IP address, over 250 IP clients can share this address simultaneously using NAT. This public IP address is assigned statically by the Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
PPP is a data link layer industry standard WAN protocol for transferring multi-protocol data traffic over point-to-point connections. It is suitable for both high-speed synchronous ports as well as lower speed asynchronous dial-up ports. With this protocol, options such as security and network protocols can be negotiated over the connection.
The STAC Electronics Stacker LZS Compression Protocol is supported over PPP providing up to
4:1 data compression.
PAP and CHAP Security
The CSX200 supports the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol (CHAP) under PPP.
PAP provides verification of passwords between devices using a 2-way handshake. One device
(peer) sends the system name and password to the other device (authenticator). Then the authenticator checks the peer’s password against the configured remote peer’s password and returns acknowledgment.
CHAP is more secure than PAP as unencrypted passwords are not sent across the network. CHAP uses a 3-way handshake and supports full or half-duplex operation.
CSX200 Family User’s Guide 11
About the CSX200
In half-duplex operation, the authenticator device challenges the peer device by generating a
CHAP challenge, and the challenge contains an MD5 algorithm with a random number that has your encrypted password and system name. The peer device then applies a one-way hash algorithm to the random number and returns this encrypted information along with the system name in the CHAP response. The authenticator then runs the same algorithm and compares the result with the expected value. This authentication method depends upon a password or secret, known only to both ends locally.
Full-duplex operation places an additional step to half-duplex operation that mirrors the operation discussed above for a peer to validate the authenticator. The peer device challenges the authenticator by generating a CHAP challenge, and the authenticator returns a CHAP response.
The peer device challenges the authenticator device by generating a CHAP challenge, and the challenge contains an MD5 algorithm with a random number that has your encrypted password and system name.

The peer device then runs the same algorithm and compares the result with the expected value.
This authentication method depends upon a password or secret, known only to both ends locally.
LQM
Link Quality Monitoring (LQM) is a link control mechanism used with PPP to determine when and how often a link is dropping data in units of packets and octets. Link Quality Monitoring accomplishes this by providing Link-Quality-Reports to determine if the quality of the link is adequate for operation. Link Quality Monitoring provides separate measurements for both incoming and outgoing packets that are communicated to both ends of the link. The PPP LQM mechanism carefully defines the Link-Quality-Report packet formats, and specifies reference points for all data transmission and reception measurements. The LQM implementation maintains successfully received packet and octet counts, and periodically transmits this information to its peer using Link-Quality-Report packets.
HDSL
High-bit rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) technology uses existing copper twisted pair cables designed for conventional analog voice transmission from a telephone carrier servicing area as low-cost alternative to the quality and speed of fiber optic cables, and provides high-speed full-duplex digital transmission links of up to 1.544 Mbps. The WPIM-HDSL is easy to install in your network over existing telephone lines, and it is a portable investment if a business, or individual user plans to relocate.
12 CSX200 Family User’s Guide
About the CSX200
HDSL is a direct connection technology that allows connections to be made for distances of up to
12,000 feet over 24 American Wire Gauge (AWG) unconditioned Twisted Pair wire. To obtain the
Full T1 line Rate of 1.544 Mbps, two wire pairs are necessary (four wires). If one pair of wires is used (two wires), then data rates of 772 Kbps are supported, which is equivalent to one-half of a
T1 line.
Bridging and Routing
Bridging — Bridging connects two or more separate networks together. The bridge examines a portion of each network frame called the header. This header contains control information for the frame. The bridge compares the destination address of the frame to a table of source addresses
(bridges dynamically learn the physical location of devices by logging the source addresses of each frame and the bridge port the frame was received on in the source address table). In transparent bridging, the decision to forward the frame is based on this comparison. If the address indicates that the sending station and the destination station are on the same side of the bridge, the frame is not forwarded across the bridge. If the addresses do not indicate that, the bridge forwards the broadcast frame across the bridge to the other network(s).
Bridging allows frames to be sent to all destinations regardless of the network protocols used. It also allows protocols that cannot be routed (such as NETBIOS) to be forwarded, and optimizes internetwork capacity by localizing traffic on LAN segments. A bridge extends the physical reach of networks beyond the limits of each LAN segment. Filters can be used to increase network security in bridged networks, and restrict message forwarding by using user-built address tables (non-transparent bridging).
Routing — Routing provides a way to transfer user data from source to destination over different
LAN and WAN links using one or more network protocol formats. Routing relies on routing address tables to determine the best path for each packet. Routing tables can be seeded (i.e., addresses for remote destinations are placed in the table along with network address masks and a metric for path latency). Routing tables are also built dynamically (i.e., the location of remote stations, hosts and networks are updated through inter-router protocols). Routing helps to increase network capacity by localizing traffic on LAN segments and broadcasts that would result from bridged traffic. It also provides security by isolating traffic on segmented LANs. Routing extends the world-wide reach of networks.
CSX200 Family User’s Guide 13
About the CSX200
CSX200 Bridging and Routing — The CSX200 can operate as a bridge, a router, or both. The
CSX200 operates as a router for network protocols that are supported when routing is enabled and operates as a bridge when bridging is enabled. When both bridging and routing are enabled, routing takes precedence over bridging; i.e., the CSX200 uses the protocol address information of the packet to route the packet to the correct destination. However, if the protocol is not supported, the CSX200 operates as a bridge and uses the MAC address information to send the packet.
Operation of the CSX200 is influenced by routing and bridging controls and filters set during
CSX200 configuration. General IP routing, and routing or bridging from specific remote routers are controls set during the configuration process.
IEEE 802.1d Bridging — The CSX200 supports the IEEE 802.1d standard for LAN to LAN bridging. Bridging is provided over PPP and Frame Relay as well as adjacent LAN ports. The bridging software uses transparent bridging. When the CSX200 is configured as a bridge, the unit bridges data packets to the destination, regardless of the network protocols used.
The CSX200 uses the Spanning Tree Algorithm to provide bridging redundancy while preventing data loops and duplicate data. This is a self-learning bridge, i.e., the bridge builds and updates an address table with each MAC source address and associated information when the packets are received.
IP Routing — IP routing support provides the ability to process
frames at the network layer for routing. IP routing support includes the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) that allows the exchange of routing information on a TCP/IP network. The CSX200 receives and broadcasts
RIP messages to adjacent routers and workstations.
IPX Routing — Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) routing support provides the ability to process
Novell proprietary frames at the network layer for routing. IPX routing support includes both
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) that allows the exchange of routing information on a Novell NetWare network. The SAP provides routers and servers containing SAP agents with a means of exchanging internetwork service information.

Bridging and Routing Protocol Filtering
Filtering is used to allow efficient usage of network resources and provide security for your network and hosts.
IP Internet Firewall — The CSX200 supports IP Internet Firewall filtering to prevent unauthorized access to your system and network resources from the Internet or a corporate
Intranet. Security can be configured to permit or deny IP traffic. The security is established by configuring IP access filters, which are based on source IP address, source mask, destination IP address, destination mask, protocol type, and application port identifiers for both Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) protocols. These IP access filters allow individual IP source and destination pair filtering as well as IP address ranges and wild carding to match any IP address. These Firewall filters can be defined to allow inbound only, outbound only, or bi-directional IP communication up to the UDP and TCP application port level.
Firewall access filters provide a lot of flexibility to establish a powerful IP security barrier. The
CSX200 supports the IP Access Control (from the ctip-mib) Internet Firewall Filter.
Bridge Filtering — Bridge filtering allows a network administrator to control the flow of packets across the CSX200. Bridge filtering can be used to “deny” or “allow” packets based on a “matched pattern” using a specified position and hexadecimal content within the packet. This enables restricting or forwarding of messages based on address, protocol, or data content. Common uses include preventing access to remote networks, controlling unauthorized access to the local network, and limiting unnecessary traffic.
The CSX200 supports the following Bridge Filters:
• dot1dStatic Filters (IETF RFC1493)
• Ethernet Special Filtering Database (from the ctbridge-mib)

10BASE-T LAN Requirements
This chapter contains general networking guidelines for setting up a 10BASE-T Local Area
Network using ports 1 through 12 on the CSX200. Review the requirements and specifications outlined in this chapter before attempting to install the CSX200.
Network Requirements
Take care in planning and preparing the cabling and connections for your network. The quality of the connections, the length of cables, and other conditions of the installation play critical roles in determining the reliability of your network.
10BASE-T Twisted Pair Network
When connecting a 10BASE-T twisted pair segment to any of the CSX200 ports (Interfaces 1 through 12), ensure the network meets the following requirements:
Length — The IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASE-T requires that 10BASE-T devices transmit over a 100 meter (328 foot) link on 22–24 AWG Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) wire. However, cable quality largely determines maximum link length. Lengths of up to 200 meters may be achieved if high quality, low attenuation cable is used. Cable delay limits the maximum link length to 200 meters.
NOTE
Losses introduced by connections at punch-down blocks and other equipment reduce total segment length. For each connector or patch panel in the link, subtract 12 meters from the total length of the cable.
Impedance — Cabletron Systems 10BASE-T twisted pair products use twisted pair cable with
75 to 165 ohms impedance. UTP cable typically has an impedance from 85 to 110 ohms. Shielded twisted pair cable, such as IBM Type 1 cable with an impedance of 150 ohms may also be used.
CSX200 Family User’s Guide 21
10BASE-T LAN Requirements
Temperature — Multi-pair PVC 24 AWG telephone cable typically has an attenuation of approximately 8–10 dB/100 m at 20
°
C (68
°
F). The attenuation of PVC insulated cable varies with temperature. At temperatures greater than 40
°
C (104
°
F), use plenum-rated cable to ensure that attenuation remains within specification.

10BASE-T LAN Requirements
Connecting UTP Cables to Ports 1 Through 12
Before connecting a segment to the CSX200, check each end of the segment to verify wire crossover.
!
CAUTION
To establish a link, you must have an odd number of crossovers (preferably one) between 10BASE-T devices of the same type (i.e., from repeater to repeater or transceiver to transceiver).
Connect a twisted pair segment to the CSX200 as follows:
1.
Ensure that the device at the other end of the segment is connected to the segment and is powered ON.
2.
Refer to Figure 2 . Connect the twisted pair segment to the CSX200 by inserting the RJ45
connector on the twisted pair segment into the desired RJ45 port (ports 1 through 12).

CSX200 Configuration with QuickSET
\
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for configuring the CSX200 using QuickSET.
NOTE
Before configuring the device, you must set up your computer based on the READ ME
FIRST! documentation included with the product and installed the CSX200 based on the QuickSTART Guide located in the QuickSET CD case.
The CSX200 must have a WPIM installed before you can begin configuring the device.
Normally, QuickSET automatically establishes a communication link with the CSX200 being configured. However, under certain circumstances, QuickSET may not be able to locate the
CSX200 automatically. In this case, the IP Address window shown in
displays.
Figure 12 IP Address Window
Enter the IP address of the CSX200 in the appropriate field and the password if applicable (the default password is public). Click on the OK button and QuickSET locates the CSX200 on the network and displays the First Introductory window shown in

CSX200 Configuration with QuickSET
Local Ethernet IP Address — The Local Ethernet IP Address displays the IP address for the
Ethernet interface. Place the cursor in this field and type the preferred IP address in Dotted
Decimal Notation (DDN) format. The IP address must be in this field to continue.
Local Ethernet Subnet Mask — The Subnet Mask takes the same form as an IP address; four groups of three decimal digits, separated by periods. Each group must be in the numerical range of
0 to 255. The first time you use QuickSET, the Subnet Mask field displays a default Subnet Mask, based on the IP address entered, when it is clicked on. If you wish to use a different Subnet Mask, enter it at this time in DDN format.
Secondary IPs — The Secondary IPs window shown in
Figure 16 displays after clicking on the
Secondary IPs... button, and shows the list of current Secondary IP addresses. The CSX200 can support multiple IP Subnets, therefore, there can be multiple Secondary IP Addresses assigned to an Ethernet interface. To add a Secondary IP address, click on the Add IP button and enter the IP
Address, and Subnet Mask in their corresponding fields.
When you have finished making changes, click on the Apply Changes button. Click on the Done button when you are finished.

CSX200 Configuration with QuickSET
This section describes the fields in the first Bridging and Routing configuration window.
MAC Bridging — This field allows you to specify whether or not the CSX200 bridges traffic.
Click on the check box to turn MAC Bridging on.
Spanning Tree Protocol — This field is grayed out until MAC Bridging is turned on. It allows you to configure the CSX200 to use the Spanning Tree Protocol, which lets the remote device check for bridging loops, and other sites that use the Spanning Tree Protocol. Click on the check box to turn on Spanning Tree Protocol.
IP Routing — The IP Routing check box allows you to turn on/off IP Routing. Click on the check box to turn on IP Routing.
IPX Routing — The IPX Routing check box allows you to turn on/off IPX Routing. Click on the check box to turn on IPX Routing.
External Ethernet Network # — This field displays the IPX network number assigned to the external Ethernet network on the Ethernet port. It is grayed out until IPX Routing is turned on.
Frame Type — This field is grayed out until IPX Routing is turned on. It allows you to select the type of IPX frame in which packets are encapsulated for transmission. Select one of the four available frame types.
The Firewall Configuration Window
The Firewall configuration window shown in
displays after clicking on the Firewall... button in the first Bridging and Routing configuration window. The Firewall configuration window is used to configure an Access Control List (ACL), and to allow or deny specified IP addresses to communicate through the CSX200.
The Access Control List option allows you to create access control lists that restrict traffic to, from, or between specific IP hosts, subnets, or networks. You can configure access control restrictions based on the following:
• The source, destination, or a combination of the source and destination address of a packet.
• The upper layer protocol type of a packet such as TCP, UDP, ICMP, or all TCP/IP protocols.
• The TCP or UDP port number of a packet.
CSX200 Family User’s Guide 65
CSX200 Configuration with QuickSET
When an IP Access Control List (ACL) is enabled on a router port, each packet forwarded out this port is first checked against the ACL. If the address(es) of a packet match the address(es) in the first filter in the list, the packet is permitted or denied as specified by that filter. If there is no match, the packet is checked against the second filter, and so on, until a match is found, or until the packet has been checked against all of the filters in the list. If the packet does not match any of the filters, then the packet is permitted to pass through the port.
Figure 28 Firewall Configuration Window
66 CSX200 Family User’s Guide
CSX200 Configuration with QuickSET
The following definitions explain the fields in the Firewall configuration window.
NOTE
The Add Firewall button clears the fields in the Firewall configuration window, allowing you to type in the fields as necessary. The Apply Changes button adds the newly entered filter to the Access Control List.
ACL (Access Control List) — The Access Control List number is a number assigned to a specific list of sequence numbers.
Sequence — A number assigned to individual access filters in an access list. As only one IP
Access Control List can be applied to each port, a single list often includes several access control filters. Each filter permits or denies access to or from a certain host, subnet, or network. When an access control list contains multiple filters, the filters are referenced in order of their sequence numbers.
Source IP — The Source IP field displays the IP address of the source device accorded the permissions set in the permissions field. To set permissions for a source device, place the cursor in the Source IP field and type the IP address of the source that you wish to set permissions.
Source Mask — Displays the mask for the Source IP address specified in the Source IP field. To set the mask for the specified source IP address, place the cursor in the Source Mask field and type the mask.
The default Mask for both the source and destination addresses is 0.0.0.0, which masks the entire address, causing all addresses to match the filter. In other words, the default access control list allows all traffic to pass. Entering a mask of 255.255.255.255 causes only packets matching the exact address you have entered to match the filter.
For a Class C address, entering a mask of 255.255.255.0 causes packets with the same Class C subnet as the IP address to match, thereby causing the access control filter to apply to all hosts on this particular subnet.
Dest IP — The Dest IP field displays the IP address of the destination device accorded the permissions set in the permissions field. To set permissions for a certain destination device, place the cursor in the Dest IP field and type the IP address of the destination for which you wish to set permissions.
Dest Mask — Displays the mask for the Destination IP address specified in the Dest IP field. To set the mask for the specified destination IP address, place the cursor in the Dest Mask field and type the mask.
CSX200 Family User’s Guide 67
CSX200 Configuration with QuickSET
Protocol — Use this pull-down list to select the upper layer protocol that you want to apply to the access control filter. Each access control filter can apply to traffic for all protocols included in the
TCP/IP suite, or just to traffic for a single protocol.
Permission — Use this pull-down list to set the permissions for the specified control filter.
Options for this field include permit, deny, permit bi-directional, or deny bi-directional. Choosing permit allows the specified packets to be forwarded, while choosing deny blocks the specified packets. Choosing permit bi-directional or deny bi-directional either permits or denies traffic to and from a specified source or destination.
Port — Enter the port number in this field to create an access control filter that applies only to
traffic for a specific TCP or UDP service. Table 9

Local Management Overview
Cabletron Systems Local Management is a management tool that allows a network manager to perform the following tasks:
• Configure interconnected devices to form a network
• Monitor the performance of the network
• Control user access to the network and its components for the purpose of security
Management Agent
The management agent is a process within the CSX200 that collects information about the managed network’s operational performance. Local Management communicates with the management agent for the purpose of issuing management commands to network devices.
Local vs. Remote Management
Network management applications are usually described as either local or remote management applications. A Local Management application resides within the circuits of the CSX200 management agent and is accessible by Telnetting into the CSX200 through one of the twelve
10BASE-T Ethernet ports located on the front panel of the device. Remote management applications such as Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM, SPECTRUM Element Manager, or
QuickSET run within the circuits of another device that provides management services. This allows you to perform network management from a remote location.

This key lets you escape from a Local Management screen without saving your changes. For example, “Press ESC twice” means that you must quickly press the ESCAPE key two times to exit the Local Management screen.
These keys cycle through selections in some Local Management fields. Press the SPACEBAR to cycle forward through selections and press BACKSPACE to cycle backward through selections.
These are navigation keys. Use the UP-ARROW, DOWN-ARROW,
LEFT-ARROW, and RIGHT-ARROW keys to move the screen cursor. For example, “Use the arrow keys” means to press whichever arrow key moves the cursor to the desired field on the Local Management screen.
This key combination increments values in some Local Management selection fields. For example, “Press SHIFT-[+/=]” means to hold down the SHIFT key while pressing the PLUS/EQUAL key.
This key decreases values from some Local Management selection fields. For example, “Press [–]” means to press the MINUS key.
The DEL (Delete) key removes characters from a Local Management
Selection field. For example, “Press DEL” means to press the DELETE key.
CSX200 Family User’s Guide 93
General Configuration Using Local Management
Navigating Within Local Management Screens
To navigate within a Local Management screen, use the arrow keys of the terminal or the workstation providing terminal emulation services. The Local Management screen cursor responds to the LEFT-ARROW, RIGHT-ARROW, UP-ARROW, and DOWN-ARROW keys. Each time you press an arrow key, the Local Management screen cursor moves to the next available field in the direction of the arrow key.
The Local Management screen cursor only moves to fields which can be selected or used for input.
This means that the cursor jumps over display fields and empty lines on the Local Management screen.
The Local Management screen cursor provides wrap-around operation. This means that a cursor located at the edge of a screen, when moved in the direction of that edge, “wraps around” to the outermost selectable item on the opposite side of the screen which is on the same line or column.
Establishing a TELNET Connection
The CSX200 is shipped with a temporary IP address of 192.168.254.254 so that your computer can communicate with it over your Local Area Network (LAN) through a TELNET connection.
However, to establish a TELNET connection, your computer must be on the same subnet as the
CSX200. Cabletron Systems recommends that you assign a temporary IP Address of
192.268.254.253 to your computer to ensure that both devices are on the same subnet. TELNET connections to the host device require the community name passwords assigned at the SNMP
Community Names screen or if you are doing an initial configuration, use the default password
public. Refer to the SNMP Community Names section of this manual for additional information about community names.
NOTE
See the instructions included with the TELNET application for information about establishing a TELNET session.

General Configuration Using Local Management
The following definitions explain each System Level screen field. The sections that follow these definitions explain the use of these fields.
System Date — Use this field to enter the system date.
System Time — Use this field to enter the system time.
Host IP Address — Use this field to enter the IP address of the CSX200.
Subnet Mask — This field displays the default Subnet Mask, and allows you to enter a new value for the Subnet Mask if necessary. Subnets are logical divisions of the network that isolate groups of devices. The Subnet Mask determines how the CSX200 directs SNMP traps to a management workstation. If the CSX200 resides on the same network as the management workstation, then the
CSX200 sends SNMP traps directly to the management workstation. If the CSX200 resides on a different subnet as the management workstation, then the CSX200 sends SNMP traps to a gateway or router.
• When the management workstations designated to receive SNMP traps reside on the same network as the CSX200, use the Subnet Mask default setting for the IP address entered on the
System Level screen.
• Set a new value for the Subnet Mask when the management workstations designated to receive
SNMP traps reside on a different subnet (for example, across a gateway or router).
To set a Subnet Mask, refer to the
section.
Phys Address — This field displays the physical address, also known as the MAC Address, of the CSX200. You cannot modify the physical address.
Default Gateway — Use this field to enter the Default Gateway for the CSX200. When routing packets, the CSX200 uses the IP Forwarding Table to find the route to each destination address.
The IP Forwarding Table contains the routes to all networks and hosts within a certain area.
However, the IP Forwarding Table on its own cannot provide all of the routes that may be needed.
The CSX200 relies on a Default Gateway to provide the routes to destinations that are not listed in its own IP Forwarding Table. The Default Gateway is the IP address of the network device
(gateway or router) used to forward SNMP traps to a management station. The default setting for this field is NONE DEFINED. To set the Default Gateway, refer to
.
Default Interface — Use this field to select the default interface for the CSX200 Default
Gateway. The default interface is the channel which is set up to handle SNMP traps sent to an IP station that is not on the same subnet as the CSX200 in an IP routed environment. The default setting for this field is NONE DEFINED.

Configuring the UDP Broadcast Redirector
To locate a server that can provide a particular network service, many IP hosts rely on the use of
LAN broadcasts to send UDP service requests. The UDP port number contained in the broadcast request packet identifies the service being requested.

The UDP Broadcast Redirector enables you to configure any Routing Services enabled device to forward the UDP packets that it receives as LAN broadcasts, directly to the appropriate server.
UDP service requests that are sent as LAN broadcasts by clients of applications such as Host
Name, Domain Name, and Bootstrap servers, can be redirected to any server on any network segment.
To configure the UDP Broadcast Redirector, complete the following steps:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the UDP Port option under System Level Setup.
2.
ENTER the UDP port number of the UDP service request packets that you want to redirect
(refer to Table 13 ) and then press ENTER.

The entry for the UDP Port option reflects the UDP port number that is currently selected. The entry for UDP Type names the UDP service to which that port number corresponds.
Enabling Proxy ARP on a Port
By default, Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is disabled on all ports, and IP Routing
Services respond only to ARP requests addressed to its own IP address.
For one IP host to communicate with another IP host, knowledge of the target host’s MAC address must be known. To learn this MAC address, the IP host sends an ARP request packet as a LAN broadcast with the destination IP address of the target IP host. All hosts receive this broadcast and the one host that matches the target IP address responds with its MAC-layer address. However, because each subnet constitutes a separate broadcast domain and LAN broadcasts are not forwarded across routers, ARP does not work beyond a host’s local network or subnetwork. One of the primary purposes of a router is to confine LAN broadcast traffic to each local network or subnetwork.
A proxy ARP response is generated when the following occurs:
• Proxy ARP is enabled on a router port.
• An ARP request is received as a LAN broadcast (looking for the MAC-layer address of an IP host on another network segment).
• An entry exists in the IP Forwarding Table for the destination host’s network.
Enabling Proxy ARP on a router port allows IP hosts to dynamically obtain the MAC-layer address of other IP hosts attached to different networks or subnetworks by using broadcast ARP request packets. With Proxy ARP enabled, IP hosts are not required to maintain knowledge of specific subnetworks.
To enable Proxy ARP on a router port, complete the following steps:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the Proxy ARP option.
2.
Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ENABLED.

3.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen, and then press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.
Configuring the Network Broadcast Type on a Port
IP Routing Services recognizes, and accepts as network broadcasts, IP packets with the host portion of the IP address as either all 1’s or all 0’s. Other networking devices only recognize all ones as a network broadcast.
To configure IP Routing Services to send network broadcasts addressed to all 0’s, complete the following steps:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the Network Bcast option.
2.
Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ZEROS.
3.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen and then press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.
Enabling the RIP Routing Protocol on a Port
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a widely implemented routing protocol that is used extensively on IP internetworks. IP Routing Services uses the RIP routing protocol to send and gather information about the internetwork topology. This information is used to construct and maintain a database called RIP Route Table, which contains the addresses of the available routes to all the networks and hosts that RIP has learned.
Enabling the RIP routing protocol allows IP Routing Services to build and maintain a dynamic database of route information. The best routes learned by the RIP routing protocol are added to the
IP Forwarding Table to forward IP packets. The ability to switch the RIP routing protocol on and off on a port-by-port basis provides great flexibility. On the same device, some router ports can be running the RIP routing protocol while other router ports are not. If necessary, you can temporarily disable the RIP routing protocol on any port without affecting the rest of your configuration.
To enable RIP Routing, complete the following steps:

IPX Routing over Frame Relay
An additional step is required when routing IPX over Frame Relay. This step requires that entries are created in the IPX Host Map. The IPX Host Map is a database of remote IPX hosts that are defined generally by the WAN Network number and MAC Address, and more specifically by the
Interface Number and Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI). The IPX Host Map helps a routing decision by determining which circuit a packet should be forwarded to in a point to multi-point
Frame Relay connection.
Figure 61 shows how IPX Host Map entries are entered using the circuitmap command. The
circuitmap command is accessed from the
MIB Navigator Screen . Refer to
information on the circuitmap command.

Enabling the IPX SAP Routing Protocol on a Port
IPX Source Advertisement Protocol (SAP) is used by IPX to exchange information about Novell service providing nodes, such as file servers and print servers that are available. IPX SAP builds and maintains a database, the Service Advertisement Table, containing the addresses and routes to specific service providing nodes, and advertises this information over the network.
CSX200 Family User’s Guide 131
General Configuration Using Local Management
Each router running IPX SAP gathers this LAN based information from the locally connected network segments and adds it to its Service Advertisement Table. Each table contains the Novell
Network Number and type of services available on all Novell servers known to the IPX SAP. IPX routing services uses this information to provide internetworked Netware clients with access to these services.

You can utilize Time Slots any way you choose. The CSX200 supports Time Division
Multiplexing (TDM) allowing channelization of circuits (Time Slots) within the public network.
For example, if your CSX200 has access to a full T1 (24 Time Slots), and you want to communicate with two other sites, your network configuration might look like

Managing Device MIBs
The MIB Navigator lets you manage objects in the CSX200 Management Information Bases
(MIBs). MIBs are databases of objects used for managing the device and determining the CSX200 configuration. The commands within the MIB Navigator allow you to view and modify a device’s objects.
174 CSX200 Family User’s Guide
MIB Navigator
The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory.
hierarchy. Each layer is numerically encoded, so that every branch group and leaf object in the
MIB is identified by a corresponding number, known as an Object Identifier (OID). This allows the
MIB Navigator to navigate through the MIB and access the manageable leaf objects.
Root 1
Group 1.1
Group 1.2

1574-27
Figure 81 Hierarchical MIB Tree Structure
Often an ASCII name is assigned to the OID of a leaf object, making it more readable. To identify the value for the object “ipForwarding” you use the OID (/1/3/6/1/2/1/4/1), or its ASCII name (/ iso/org/dod/internet/mgmt/mib-2/ip/ipForwarding).
MIB Navigator Command Set Overview
Use the help command for an on-line description of each MIB Navigator command. For example the MIB Nav-> help branch provides help information for the branch command.
TIP
The MIB Navigator command set provides the following commands:
Navigation Commands — Navigation commands allow you to access and manage the MIB for the device running the MIB Navigator. Some of these commands also provide user community-string information. The commands are as follows: branch dir
Is pwd tree cd get mib2 set whoami ctron grep next su help
CSX200 Family User’s Guide 175

Other Commands — Other commands allow you to access and manage network devices connected to the device running the MIB Navigator. The commands are as follows: arp dhcp ping secondIP snmpnext bridge traceroute ppp show snmpset circuitmap nat reset snmpbranch snmptree defroute netstat route snmpget
Special Commands — commands are as follows:
Special Commands allow you to exit from the MIB Navigator. The done quit exit
Conventions for MIB Navigator Commands
This manual uses the following conventions for denoting commands:
• Information keyed by the user is shown in this helvetica font.
• Command arguments are indicated by two types of brackets:
required arguments are enclosed by [ ].
optional arguments are enclosed by < >.
MIB Navigator command conventions are as follows:
• To abort the output or interrupt a process the escape character is ^C (where ^ indicates the
Control key).
• A slash (/) preceding an OID issues that command from the root directory regardless of where you are in the MIB. If no slash precedes the OID the command issues from your current MIB location.
• Dot notation (1.1.1.1) is equivalent to slash notation (1/1/1/1). Use slash notation with the navigational commands, and the dot notation with the built-in commands that are using SNMP to access and manage network devices.

WPIM-T1, WPIM-E1, WPIM-DI, or WPIM-DDS Installed in CSX200
The port is operating normally. If it is not, and this LED is OFF the port may be disabled.
• Use QuickSET or Local Management to make sure that the WAN interface on the Local device is configured correctly.
WPIM-SYNC Installed in CSX200
The port is operating normally. If it is not, and this LED is OFF the port may be disabled or CTS may be inactive from the CSU/DSU connected to the CSX200.
• Use QuickSET or Local Management to make sure that the WAN interface on the Local device is configured correctly.
WPIM-HDSL Installed in CSX200
The port is in Fractional T1 mode and is operating normally. If it is not, the port is disabled or has been placed into Loopback Test mode.
• Use QuickSET or Local Management to make sure that the WAN interface on the Local device is configured correctly.
• Use QuickSET or Local Management to make sure that the WAN interface on the Remote device is configured correctly.
Status 2 (STS 2) LED is RED WPIM-HDSL Installed in CSX200
WPIM-HDSL is configured for either Full T1 and the WPIM is not able to establish synchronization on Loop 2 with the remote HDSL circuit.
• Verify using QuickSET of Local Management that one of the WPIM-HDSL is involved in the connection is set to Master (Local) Timing and that the other one is set to Slave (Loop) Timing.
208 CSX200 Family User’s Guide
Troubleshooting
• Verify the use of proper cabling for the HDSL connections. Category 3 or Category 5
Unshielded Twisted Pair copper wiring is required. One pair (2 wires) for Fractional T1, two pair (4 wires) for Full T1. The presence of bridged taps and multiple wire segments connected together to form the loop may reduce the maximum distance usable between the Remote and
Local devices. Wire gauge has an impact on the distance which can be supported as well. The maximum distance is 12,000 feet using 24 AWG wiring.
• Verify the gauge and condition of the wire. A trained line technician may be necessary to determine this.
• Verify that the distance between the Remote and Local units is less than 12,000 Feet.
Status 2 (STS2) LED is AMBER
WPIM-T1, WPIM-E1, or WPIM-DI Installed in CSX200
The device is in Yellow alarm mode. A Yellow alarm indicates that the CSX200 is receiving proper framing from the Telco, but the Telco is not receiving proper framing.
• Check for faulty or incorrect cabling between Telco and CSX200.
• Request that the Telco verify the configuration and operation of the circuit.
Status 2 (STS2) LED is GREEN
WPIM-SYNC Installed in CSX200
The Port is operating normally, Clear to Send (CTS) has been received by your WAN device.
• If it is not, check STS 1 to determine if the Port is Sending a Request to Send (RTS) to the CSU/
DSU it is connected to.
• Verify the cabling being used between the CSX200 and the CSU/DSU.
• Check the CSU/DSU for proper operation.
WPIM-HDSL Installed in CSX200
The port is operating normally, Loop 2 has synchronized with the HDSL circuit at the remote end
(Full T1 mode only).
CSX200 Family User’s Guide 209
Troubleshooting
Test (TST) LED is AMBER (blinking)
The device is in test mode.
• The CSX200 is running its Power-up Diagnostic Tests.
• Loopback Testing is underway on a WAN circuit.
Investigating Software Configuration Problems
Software problems usually occur when your software configuration contains incomplete or incorrect information.
Connection to Device Fails During Software Configuration
• For a LAN connection, verify that the IP address matches the IP address previously stored into the configuration of the router. You must have previously (through QuickSET) set the Ethernet
LAN IP address and Subnet Mask, enabled IP routing, saved the Ethernet configuration changes and rebooted the router for the new IP address to take effect.
• Check that your LAN cable is wired correctly and each end securely plugged in.
• Make sure that an IP route exists between your local PC and the CSX200. The PC and CSX200 must be on the same IP subnetwork or the CSX200 must be reachable through a router on your
LAN.
• Check Network TCP/IP properties under Windows 95 or Windows NT, as described in the
Read Me First! document.
User Cannot Communicate with Remote Network Station
If Bridging,
• Check that the Bridging Default Destination is set.
• Check that bridging to/from the remote router is set on.
• Be sure to reboot if you have made any bridging destination or control changes.
210 CSX200 Family User’s Guide
Troubleshooting
If TCP/IP Routing,
• Check that TCP/IP Routing is set on and is enabled at the remote end.
• Check that the IP address of the LAN beyond the remote router is correct, as well as the associated Subnet Mask.
• If the remote router WAN IP address and Subnet Mask are required, check that they have been specified correctly.
• Check that, if required, the source and remote WAN IP addresses are on the subnetwork.
• Check that you have seeded the routing table, if RIP is not allowed to flow on the WAN link.
• Be sure to reboot if you have made any IP address, control or protocol option changes.
