Imagine Communications Selenio FR3

The Imagine Communications Selenio FR3 is the default controller card slotted into a Selenio chassis at position 0. This connector lists the important parameters of this controller and provides an overview of all the different slots in the chassis.

About

The information displayed in this connector is delivered on different pages, described in the Usage section of this document.

The versioning for the connector is specifically engineered to tie in with the firmware version of the card the connector supports. It uses the following format: X.X.X.Y, with X.X.X being the firmware version of the card and .Y the specific connector iteration for this firmware. For example, 5.0.28.2 means the connector is the second iteration for firmware 5.0.28.

Version Info

Range Description DCF Integration Cassandra Compliant

Installation and configuration

Creation

SNMP main connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
  • Device address: This is always 0. As such, it cannot be modified during element creation.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string needed to read from the device. The default value is public.
  • Set community string: The community string needed to set to the device. The default value is public.

Timing

All data gets retrieved from the device in three ways.

  1. Timers

    • Slow timer that triggers every hour and retrieves non-essential and configurable parameters.
    • Medium timer that triggers every 10 minutes and retrieves status parameters and the connections table.
    • Alarm slow timer that triggers every 30 seconds and retrieves alarm information (see note below).
    • Fast timer that triggers every 10 seconds and retrieves slot information (state, temperature, protection, etc.).
    • Very fast timer that triggers every 3 seconds and retrieves dirty changes, alarm information (see note below) and CPU polling if enabled.

  2. Dirty changes

    • Every 3 seconds, a check is done for any changed configurable values. If such a change is detected, the new value is retrieved and instantly updated in the element. If the change is the cell of a table, the complete table is refreshed. After a change is detected, the check is boosted and performed every 0.5 seconds, until no more changes are detected.

  3. Traps

    • When enabled and set up on the controller, traps can be sent to DataMiner whenever an alarm occurs. The traps are accepted and processed for the controller.
Note

You can toggle alarm information to be retrieved either every 30 seconds or every 3 seconds. The default value is every 3 seconds. It is recommended not to change this to 30 seconds unless you enable traps to be sent to DataMiner.

Usage

The connector consists of the pages and sections described below.

General Page

This page contains version information and controller status parameters.

The Processor Usage page button can be used to monitor the total CPU % of the chassis. Polling for this is disabled by default but can be toggled on.

Alarming Page

This page lists all possible alarms for the controller. If an alarm is active, the Controller Alarm State will indicate what kind of alarm it is.

The page contains a toggle button that allows you to change alarm polling speed to 3 or 30 seconds. It is recommended to set up traps and reduce the polling speed to 30s.

Slot Table Page

This page provides an overview of all slots in the chassis and the cards plugged in at those positions, if any.

It also provides access to the Failover and Failback configuration, and allows you to configure the Slot Protection and Reboot possibilities.

Connections Page

On this page, the Connections table provides a complete overview of all internal connections made in the chassis. The table displays interface data, slot data and services running.

With the Add Connection page button, you can add additional connections. You can clean invalid connections from the table with the Remove Invalids button.

General Section

This section contains information concerning the internal Modules, Reference and TSG.

It also allows you to upload certain system-stored Presets.

Control Section

This section contains parameters to enable or disable certain communication protocols such as SNMP, FTP, HTTP, SSH, CCSP and Telnet. It also contains three pages for specialized SNMP, GPI or Ethernet settings.

Redundancy Section

This section contains the Router page, which contains all information concerning 15 different Levels in the router.
