Chapter 1
Introducing the Contivity 600
The Nortel Networks Contivity 600 provides scalable, secure, manageable
extranet access for up to 30 simultaneous users across the Public Data Network
(PDN).
The Contivity’s features include the most popular tunneling protocols: IP Security
(IPsec), Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), Layer 2 Forwarding Tunneling
Protocol (L2TP), and Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F). IPsec uses digital certificates,
password-based keys, and tokens for authentication; PPTP, L2TP, and L2F use
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) or Password
Authentication Protocol (PAP) for authentication. The PPTP and L2TP
implementations for the Contivity support MS-CHAP authentication with 56- to
128-bit key encryption.
The Contivity provides more security than traditional remote access schemes due
to the combination of authorization, authentication, privacy, and access control on
a per user basis. Additionally, the IPsec protocol and related Internet Security
Association and Contivity Key Management Protocol (ISACKMP) and Oakley
key establishment protocol support further enhance the security offering.
For authentication and access control, the Contivity supports an internal or
external Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, and external
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers. To restrict
access, the Contivity uses packet filtering based on Protocol ID, Direction, Source
and Destination IP addresses, Source and Destination Ports, and TCP connection
establishment.
The unique quality of service (QoS) mechanisms include call admission and
packet forwarding priorities, and support for Resource ReSerVation Protocol
(RSVP).

LAN interface connections
The Contivity has two LANs built in. LAN0 is the Private LAN and is also the
LAN to use for Web management. LAN1 defaults to a Public LAN. The Contivity
software refers to the LAN1 port as Slot 1, interface 1.
At least one LAN interface connection is for Web management.
100BASE-TX connections require Category 5, twisted-pair wire. The
100BASE-TX specification supports 100 Mb/s transmission over two pairs
of Category 5 twisted-pair Ethernet wiring; one pair each for transmit and
receive operations.
The maximum recommended cable segment length is 100 meters between a
100BASE-TX repeater and a workstation (due to signal timing requirements).
This wiring scheme complies with the EIA 568 wiring standard.
Figure 3 shows the Contivity connector’s 10/100BASE-TX pinouts.

Single WAN interface V.35 or X.21 (optional)
The V.35/X.21 WAN connector is located on a PCI card that offers a separate
DB28S connector that provides the signals needed to interface to V.35/X.21
equipment. Included in the accessory box is a cable that must be ordered
separately; one that maps the signals to a standard V.35 connector, or one that
maps the signals to an X.21 connector. You will need a DSU/CSU (digital service
unit/channel service unit) between the WAN connection and the Contivity. This
section documents the connector and cables used with the V.35 and/or those used
with X.21 WAN Synchronous Adapters.
The cables provided with the WAN PCI card enable the WAN adapter to function
as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). Figure 4 shows the single V.35/X.21 WAN
interface.

Serial interface cable
Nortel Networks ships a serial cable with the Contivity to enable configuration of
the Management IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address, and other
configurable parameters. Nortel Networks recommends that you use the IP
Address Configuration Utility diskette for easy initial IP address configuration.
Later, you can use the serial interface configuration menu to perform management
functions.
Note: For information on serial interface connection, refer to Managing
the Contivity Extranet Switch, Chapter 2, “Getting Started.”
The serial cable provided with the Contivity is a DB9/DB25-to-DB9/DB25. This
provides a crossover (transmit-to-receive and receive-to-transmit). The DB9
connector goes into the Contivity and the other DB9 or DB25 connector goes into
your workstation. Table 5 shows the multiple cable DB9/DB25 serial interface
cable pinouts.

Changing Hardware Configurations
The expansion slot is renamed to Slot 2 by the Contivity software.
Warning: Wear an antistatic band when handling electronic
components for the Contivity to avoid damaging them.
Note: Unplug the Contivity 600 before installing LAN or WAN
interface cards.
To install LAN or WAN cards you must remove four screws on the bottom of the
Contivity and slide the inner chassis out of the casing. You will need to unscrew
the PCI interface bracket screw and remove the PCI interface card or blank PCI
bracket. Then you will install a new PCI interface, being careful to completely
press the card into the PCI connector on the mother board. Next you will replace
the chassis (along the guide rails) in the outer casing and replace the bottom
screws. This procedure is detailed in the steps that follow.

Chapter 4
Using Recovery Mode
The Contivity 600 recovery mode is build into the onboard flash operating
system. Other than having recovery built into the unit, recovery in a 600 runs the
same way as the floppy-based Contivity products do. Use the recovery mode to
restore software to an existing Contivity 600 unit.
Some web pages refer to the diskette or recovery diskette. In the case of the
Contivity 600, this is a virtual diskette. There is no diskette to remove; the image
is built into the flash operating system.
In addition, there is no reset button on a Contivity 600 unit. Resetting the
Contivity 600 is accomplished by removing power from the 600 and then
restoring power.
To enter recovery mode, use the following procedure:
1
Plug in the console cable, the LAN0 cable, and the DC input cable from the
Contivity 600 power supply.
2
Run hyperterm on your PC and connect to the console port of the Contivity
600.
3
Apply AC power to the power supply.
4
Depress the switch on the rear of the Contivity, accessible with a paper clip
through the hole marked RC in the chassis. The RC (recovery) switch is on
the rear of the unit between the DC input cable and the LAN0 cable.
On your console you will see the BIOS banner and the Nortel Networks
Contivity banner. You will then observe the unit execute its power on self test.
You can press the switch anytime during the power tests. A momentary press
is all that is required. There is no need to hold the button down.
Note: After executing power on self test, the console displays “Booting
recovery image.”
Getting Started with the Contivity 600
52 Chapter 4 Using Recovery Mode
Booting the recovery image takes approximately 40 seconds. After the
recovery image boots, the Contivity 600 displays the welcome message, the
recovery image version, and a prompt for you to enter the administrator’s user
name. At this point you are in recovery mode.
5
Enter a management IP address, subnet mask, and gateway if they are not
already assigned. You do this from the console menu after logging in as an
administrator.
Once the unit has a management IP address, you can manage the unit from the
web interface.
Note: The switch marked FD is reserved for future use. Depressing this
switch has no effect.
At your Web browser, enter the Management IP address of your Switch. The
Recovery mode display shown in Figure 23 appears, which allows you to:

Restore the configuration:
To restore the factory default configuration or the backup configuration, do
one of the following:
➨ Restore the factory configuration by selecting Restore Factory Configuration,
then clicking Restore to return the Switch to its original factory default
configuration. This erases data contained in flash memory and also in the
configuration file.
Warning: Selecting this option requires you to rebuild your entire
Switch configuration again from scratch.
An online message specifies the result of the Factory Configuration reset
action.
➨ Or, you can restore the Switch’s previously backed-up configuration by
clicking Restore. If you previously chose to automatically back up the file
systems, then the Backup Server Host (or IP address) and Path Name, User
ID, and Password appear in the table.
Click the radio button of the preferred backup server. The backed-up file
system, including software image and configuration files, from the latest
backup copy residing on the designated server will be restored onto the hard
drive of your Switch.
You can use the same backup server for multiple Switches. Each Switch
creates a unique directory based on its serial number. The following example
shows the host, path, and serial number:
C:/software/backup/v101/SN01001
The serial number is used to differentiate backup configurations from multiple
Switches that are saved on the same backup server. The serial number
uniquely identifies each Switch’s backup data.
A blank row in the server backup field always appears to allow you to
manually enter a backup server in case you did not configure automatic
backup server locations.
311862-A Rev 00
Chapter 4 Using Recovery Mode 55
Alternatively, a new factory default software image and file system can be
restored to the Switch’s hard disk. Specify the name or address and path of the
network file server onto which the software from the Nortel Networks CD has
been installed.
Note: This will restore the disk to an operable but “clean” condition (for
example, configuration values will be at factory defaults).
To view your Switch’s serial number when the Switch is operational, click
Status→System from the Navigational Menu. The serial number is also listed
on the bar code label on the back of the Switch.
2
Click Reformat your Switch’s Hard Disk if you must reformat the hard disk;
for example if you:
— Have problems restoring your configuration that are not caused by the
network or the file/backup server from which the file restoration is being
retrieved.
— Want to reconfigure the Switch from scratch.
Caution: Selecting this option will completely wipe out anything that
previously resided on the hard disk.
An online message indicates whether the reformatting of the hard disk was
successful.
3
Click the drop-down list box to view the available software image and file
systems that are stored on the remote disk and select the image version that
you want to activate.
4
Click Files to bring up the File Maintenance display, which allows you to
view the entire hard disk file system.

Click View to display the Event Log beneath the Recovery Diskette display.
This is especially useful if a Restore operation fails.
6
Reset the system after recovery operation by unplugging the unit. Either AC
or DC power may be interrupted momentarily to accomplish this. Then
reposition your Web browser to the Management IP address, and press Reload
or Refresh from your browser menu to access the management page of the
software running on the hard disk.

Chapter 5
Assigning a System Identity
This section describes how to assign a Management IP address, subnet mask, and
optional default gateway address to your Switch. The Management IP address is
used for all system services, such as HTTP, FTP, and SNMP. The Management IP
address enables you to manage the Switch from a Web browser.
Table 10 describes the choices you have when first configuring the required
Switch parameters.
The IP Address Configuration Utility diskette, which comes with your Switch,
searches for the serial numbers of unconfigured Switches. It then displays a table
for you to enter the Management IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
(optional).
To configure the Switch from the serial interface configuration menu, you must
first connect the serial interface cable to the Switch. Then you can use a terminal
emulation application to enter the Management IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway (optional).

58 Chapter 5 Assigning a System Identity
Startup configuration requirements
This section describes the fields that you must complete with either the IP Address
Configuration Utility or the serial interface configuration menu procedure.
Management IP address
Enter a Management IP address for the system. You need this address to manage
all system services, such as HTTP, FTP, and SNMP. This address must be
accessible from one of the Switch’s private physical interfaces. Therefore, the
Management IP address must map to the same network as one of the private
interfaces.
For example, if you plan to assign IP address 10.2.3.3 with subnet mask
255.255.0.0 to the private physical interface, then the Management IP address
must reside in the 10.2 network.
Carefully record the Management IP address. Later, during the Quick Start or
the Guided Configuration, you will be asked to supply IP addresses for the
physical interfaces.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask defines how many bits of the IP address represent the network
the device is on and how many bits represent the host’s ID on the network.
The device uses the subnet mask to determine which IP addresses are directly
reachable on the network and which ones must be routed through a gateway. A
sample IP address is 10.2.3.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. This indicates
that all hosts with addresses 10.2.n.n, where n is any number 0 - 255, are directly
reachable.
Default gateway
The default gateway is where packets are routed onto the private or public
network if there is not a specific route in the routing table to the desired location.
311862-A Rev 00
Chapter 5 Assigning a System Identity 59
IP address configuration utility
Use this utility for the initial Switch configuration.
Requirements
To assign the Switch a Management IP address with this utility, you need:
•
•
•
A PC running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000
with a functioning TCP/IP stack
The PC running on the same subnet as the Switch you are configuring
The PC connected to an operational network connection
If your environment does not match these requirements, then you must use the
serial interface configuration.
To test the function of your TCP/IP stack, send a PING command to any host.
Running the IP configuration utility
The program ExtNetIP.exe is on a diskette labeled IP Address Configuration
Utility that accompanies the Switch. You can copy the utility to your hard disk and
execute it from there, or you can load it from the diskette drive. The ExtNetIP.exe
program launches the IP Address Configuration Utility, which allows you to
assign a Management IP address and subnet mask to the Switch. To run
ExtNetIP.exe:
1
Insert the diskette into the A: drive and select Start → Run, and then type:
a:\ExtNetIP.exe
or open the “My Computer” icon on the desktop and open the “3½ Floppy
(A:)” drive, and then double-click on the icon shown in Figure 24.

Assign a Management IP address and subnet mask to the Switch; the
Default Gateway address is optional and can be added later (refer to
“Startup Configuration Requirements” for descriptions of the
required fields).
3
If you have more than one Switch, click Search to automatically add the
additional Switch serial numbers. To verify the switches that have been
discovered, you can refer to the serial number on the bar code on the bottom
of the Switch.
4
Click Apply to configure the Management IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway on the Switch. The Extranet Address Configuration
Utility display disappears.
5
When the Switch has completed updating its configuration with the
Management IP address, subnet mask, and optional default gateway, your
default Web browser will open automatically to the Contivity Extranet Switch
Welcome display.
6
Click Close to shut down the Extranet Address Configuration Utility.
Note: Before moving the Switch from one network to another, change
the Management IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
Otherwise, you will need to follow the Serial Interface Configuration
procedure to access your Switch because it will not be accessible from a
Web browser with an invalid address.
Serial interface configuration
Use the IP Address Configuration Utility to configure the Switch with its initial IP
address.
Alternatively, you can use the serial interface configuration menu to access the
Switch via the serial interface of your PC. The serial interface configuration menu
allows you to give the Switch a Management IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway IP address so that you can use a Web browser for management.
