Management Domain Features
3-2

April 1998
These SNMP capabilities provided by Paradyne’s OpenLane DCE Manager
provide access to MIB II, Entity MIB, and private-enterprise MIB extensions to
monitor information.
The DSLAM uses a processor card called the MCC card in conjunction with DCE
Manager. The MCC card provides the single management interface to the
Hotwire DSLAM cards and RTUs. The MCC card gathers operational status for
each of the Hotwire DSL cards in the DSLAM and RTUs, and reports events and
alarms to the DCE Manager. For more information, see the
OpenLane DCE
Manager for HP OpenView for Windows User’s Guide
or the
OpenLane DCE
Manager User’s Guide
.
Applications for Management Domain
The Hotwire DSLAM user interface provides the following management
applications:
H Ping
H TraceRoute
H Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) client
H Telnet
Ping
The Ping program is an IP-based application used to test reachability to a specific
IP address by sending an ICMP echo request and waiting for a reply. It is
supported from both the DSL and MCC cards. As a diagnostic tool, the Ping
program from the MCC card can be used to verify reachability in the
management domain to the DSL card, the Hotwire RTU, and the DCE manager.
Similarly, invoking the Ping program from the DSL card can test the service and
management domains by verifying reachability downstream to the Hotwire RTU
and the end-user system (ES), and to verify reachability upstream to the NSP.
NOTE:
Record route and other ICMP options facilitating trace route are also
supported. However, the options field is not reflected back if the Hotwire
DSLAM is the destination address (i.e., the Hotwire DSLAM receives the data
and then returns the packet without the options field). The Hotwire DSLAM
does, however, pass the packet with the options field to the next hop if the
DSLAM is not specified as the destination address.
