Installation and Timing
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, and as such it is disabled in the configuration screen.
SNMP Settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device. The default value is public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device. The default value is public.
Timing
All data gets retrieved from the device in three ways.
Timers
- Slow Timer: Triggers every hour and retrieves non-essential and configurable parameters.
- Medium Timer: Triggers every 10 minutes and retrieves status parameters and the connections table.
- Alarm Slow Timer: Triggers every 30 seconds and retrieves alarm information (see note below).
- Fast Timer: Triggers every 10 seconds and retrieves slot information (state, temperature, protection, etc.).
- Very Fast Timer: Triggers every 3 seconds and retrieves dirty changes, alarm information (see note below), and CPU polling if enabled.
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 concerns a table cell, the complete table is refreshed.) After a change is detected, the check occurs more quickly and is performed every 0.5 seconds until no more changes are waiting to be detected.
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 received either every 30 seconds or every 3 seconds. The default value is every 3 seconds. We recommend only changing this to 30 seconds when you enable traps to be sent to DataMiner.
Usage
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. This polling is disabled by default but can be toggled on.
Alarming Page
All possible alarms for the controller are listed on this page. If an alarm is active, the Controller Alarm State will indicate what kind of alarm it is.
This page also contains a toggle button to change alarm polling speed between 3 and 30 seconds. It is recommended to set up traps and reduce the polling speed to 30 seconds.
Slot Table Page
This page provides an overview of all the slots in the chassis and the cards they contain, if any. It also allows you to configure Failover, Failback, and Slot Protection and provides the possibility to Reboot.
For the MCP1, only the first 3 slots can be used.
Connections Page
This page contains the Connections table, which provides a complete overview of all internal connections made in the chassis. The table displays interface data, slot data, and currently running services.
Using the Add Connection page button, you can add additional connections. You can clean invalid connections from the table by clicking the Remove Invalids button.
Cross Connections Page
This page is available from version 4.1.0.1 onwards and displays the cross-connections table relationship, which provides a complete overview of all internal connections made in the chassis.
Using the Add Connection page button, you can add additional connections. You can edit connections with the Edit Connection button, and clean invalid connections from the table with the Remove Invalids button.
Module Association Page
This page displays the association relationship between interfaces and modules.
Module Function Page
This page displays the module functionality by module slot.
Module Interface Page
This page displays the interface information by module.
Module Output Page
This page displays the input-output routing relationship.
Repository Page
This page displays the content of the module repository slot use.
Slot Upgrade Page
This page displays information about the firmware versions, and allows you to manage upgrade tests and activate the upgrade process.
VLAN Page
This page displays the VLAN table information for the interfaces in the module.
Module Information Page
This page displays the module map information and allows you to manage the system module slot labels.
General Section
This section contains information concerning the internal Modules, the Reference, and TSG, and allows you to load certain system stored Presets.
It also displays the main, controller and slot power supply status and allows you to manage the External SDI.
Control Section
This section contains parameters that allow you 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 information concerning 15 different levels in the router.
Selenio Controller Page
This page provides access to the internal HTTP portal of the device.
The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
