3.1 About This Chapter
This chapter introduces the O&M networking mode and how to set each network device.

3.2 System Networking


3.2.1 Overview of Networking
The M2000 system communicates with NEs through the TCP/IP protocol. The physical layer can use the partial or whole E1/T1, or the DDN/X.25 mode to transmit data. The M2000 supports two networking modes: local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN). The networking plan depends on the geographical location of NEs and user requirements. Use the LAN when all NEs are located in the same network segment; otherwise, use the WAN.

3.2.2 LAN Networking


I. Networking Diagram
For the LAN networking, the M2000 can connect NEs in both star and bus networking modes. It is recommended to use the star networking. That is, to connect all NEs in the LAN to the M2000 through an LAN Switch or concentrator, as shown in Figure 1.1.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary 1

Commissioning Guide iManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System

Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network

Figure 1.1 LAN star networking diagram Figure 1.1 is a general networking diagram. It omits details about connecting some network devices such as the router.

II. Commissioning Procedure


Table 1.1 shows the commissioning procedure for the LAN networking. Table 1.1 Commissioning procedure for the LAN networking No. 1 Operation Use network cables to connect the M2000 server, clients and various NEs to LAN switch A in the public network. 2 Connect devices in the M2000 server system (including the disk array, local console and SC) to LAN switch B through the private network. 3 If there is only one LAN switch, divide VLANs on this switch to distinguish between the public and private networks. Refer to the manual of this switch for details about the configuration.

To set up communication channels from the M2000 to NodeB through RNC, you need to set routes to the NodeB. You should set these routes in two ways:

Through the router. Refer to 3.5Configuring Quidway 2501 Router for setting the router. Through the M2000 server. Configure the default static route or multiple routes

on the M2000 server. For details, refer to M2000 Administrator Guide or M2000 HA System Administrator Guide.

III. Dial-Up Access


The M2000 also supports the dial-up access mode. To use this connection mode, a dial-up server must be installed in the M2000 system. The M2000 client accesses the M2000 dial-up server through the PSTN network, and the dial-up server assigns an IP for this client. In this way, the user logs in the M2000 system through the M2000 client interface. For details about the dial-up connection, refer to Chapter 8 "Commissioning of DialUp Connection.

3.2.3 WAN Networking


I. Networking Mode
A WAN is composed of multiple LANs. The LANs are connected with each other in different modes. Table 1.1 lists details about this networking mode. Table 1.1 WAN networking mode Networking mode Through partial E1/T1 Description This is a common networking mode. It uses idle timeslots in the existing E1/T1 transmission line to transmit the NMS data. The advantage of this networking mode is that every operator has its own E1/T1 transmission network. In this way, it is convenient to provide transmission channels, assign network addresses and maintain the communication channels based on existing resources. This saves the operator investment to the greatest extent. Through whole E1/T1 Compared with the partial E1/T1 networking mode, the whole E1/T1 networking does not require timeslot extract and interchange. The whole E1/T1 with the 2 M bandwidth is available for transmitting the NMS data. This mode suits cases with redundant transmission resources and large quantities of data. Through DDN/X.25 This networking mode uses the conventional Digital Data Network (DDN) or X.25 network to transmit the NMS data. It has the advantages of reliable communications over the private line and stable transmission quality, and the disadvantage of high cost.

IV. DDN/X.25 Networking Mode and the Commissioning Procedure


The network devices and commissioning procedure for the DDN/X.25 networking mode are the same as those for the whole E1/T1 networking mode. The only difference is that the DDN/X.25 mode uses the DDN or X.25 private line.

3.3 Setting Firewall Port


3.3.1 Introduction to Firewall
The firewall functions to filter the traffic and to protect the system from network attack. A firewall device is required between two different security areas.

I. Filtering Traffic
The firewall filters traffic through a set of security check rules. It allows only network data that meets set conditions to pass, and thus ensuring the network security. In the O&M network, the device type, quantity and the type of traffic between device nodes are limited and specific. This makes it possible to set the firewall to filter invalid traffic. In the O&M network, the valid traffics include:

Data stream between the M2000 server and various NEs Data stream between the M2000 server and various clients Data stream between the M2000 server and the NMS Data stream between LMT and devices Data stream for updating virus codes

II. Protecting Against Network Attack


When configuring the firewall, make sure to enable the following functions:

Protecting against the IP fraudulence attack

Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network

Protecting against the Land attack Protecting against the Smurf attack Protecting against the Fraggle attack Protecting against the WinNuke attack Protecting against the SYN Flood attack Protecting against the ICMP Flood attack Protecting against the UDP Flood attack Controlling ICMP redirection packets Controlling ICMP destination unreachable packets Protecting against the address scan attack Protecting against the port scan attack Controlling IP packets with the source site option Controlling IP packets with the route record option Enabling the Tracert packet control Protecting against the Ping of Death attack Protecting against the Teardrop attack Checking validity of TCP packets Checking IP fragmentation packets Controlling oversize ICMP packets

3.3.2 Configuring Firewall


The M2000 server communicates with NEs, clients and the NMS through the TCP/UDP protocol. The firewall security policies work with the IP address and TCP/UDP port number to filter the data traffic. The TCP/UDP port number ranges from 0 to 65535. This range is divided into three segments:

Port numbers 0-1023 are for identifying some standard services, such as FTP, Telnet, SMTP and TFTP. Port numbers 1024-49151 are for Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) to assign to registered applications. Port numbers 49152-65535 are private and can be assigned dynamically to any applications.

According to various networking security requirements, you can set the firewall:

Between the M2000 server and various NEs. For details about setting the firewall port, refer to 3.3.3Setting Ports Between M2000 Server and NEs. Between the M2000 server and clients. For details about setting the firewall port, refer to 3.3.4Setting Ports Between M2000 Server and Clients. Between the M2000 server and the NMS.

V. Interface Cable Numbering


The five interface slots on the back panel of Mercury 3600 are numbered from 1 to 5 from right to left. Each interface module plug-in card corresponds to several interfaces, respectively A, B, C and D. Table 1.1 lists the interface module and cable marks for the BNC interface of the 4channel E1. Table 1.1 Marks of interface cables for the 4-channel E1 interface module on Mercury 3600 Interface A B C D Red Green Blue Black TX Orange Yellow Purple Grey RX

For example:

If you insert a 4-channel E1 interface module in slot 1, 4 channels of E1 links can be accessed, with the interfaces numbered as 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D. If you insert a 2-channel V.35 interface module in slot 2, 2 channels of V.35 links can be accessed, with the interfaces numbered as 2A and 2B.

Caution: Slot 5 shares the same interface resources as slot 4. Set the interfaces to 4A or 4B. Slot 5 is not used when there is still idle interface.

VI. Introduction to RJ48


If the impedance of the E1 transmission equipment for the network connection is 120 ohm, make sure to use the interface module and cables matching this impedance on Mercury 3600, and use the balanced cable (4-core twisted pair) as the transmission cable. In this case, the interface uses the RJ48 interface standard. Table 1.1 defines the interface.

This section uses an instance to introduce the scheme planning and commissioning procedure.

I. Planning Scheme
Figure 1.1 shows the timeslot cross scheme for Mercury 3600.

Figure 1.1 Mercury 3600 timeslot cross scheme

Use idle timeslots in the E1 line from the switch to transmit NMS information. Connect this E1 line with idle timeslots to port 1A on the E1 interface module on Mercury 3600.

Connect the cable from the router to port 2A on the V.35 interface module. Interchange all timeslots at ports 1A and 2A to port 1B. In this way, port 1B integrates all information on ports 1A and 2A. Connect port 1B to the remote E1 network.

II. Installing and Connecting Hardware


Install Mercury 3600 according to Mercury 3600 Installation Manual. Figure 1.1 shows how to connect Mercury3600 with peripheral devices.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary 18

Commissioning Guide iManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System

Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network

Figure 1.1 Mercury 3600 engineering connecting diagram The connection is described as follows:

Insert a 4-channel E1 interface module in slot 1 on the back panel of Mercury 3600. The switch extends a pair of E1 lines with idle timeslots to connect a pair of terminals on the DDF rack in the transmission equipment room. This pair of E1 lines then jumps to port 1A on the E1 interface module. In this way, Mercury 3600 is connected to the switch through port 1A and the corresponding E1 port on the switch. Connect port 1B on this E1 interface module to the transmission equipment, and then connect it to the remote end in the WAN (the E1 network).

Interchange all timeslots at port 1A to port 1B. Insert a 2-channel V.35 interface module in slot 2 on the back panel of Mercury 3600. Connect port 2A on this module to port S (the WAN network port) on the router. Mercury 3600 defines some timeslots at port 2A as channels for transmitting NMS messages, and interchanges these timeslots to port 1B to extend them to the remote end. In this way, port 1B integrates information on both ports 1A and 2A.

At the other end of the network, Mercury 3600 extracts the timeslots for transmitting NMS messages in the same way, and communicates with the corresponding LAN through the router.

3.4.4 Procedure
According to 3.4.3IPlanning Scheme, configure Mercury 3600 as follows:

Huawei Technologies Proprietary 19

3.5.3 Before Configuration


I. Overview of Scheme Planning
Before you configure the router, plan the following information according to the actual networking:

IP address and subnet mask of port E0 in the local Ethernet network IP address and subnet mask of port S0 in the WAN Destination network segment, subnet mask and next hop IP address for the wide-used static route Encapsulated protocols for the WAN
Huawei Technologies Proprietary 26

Commissioning Guide iManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System

Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network

Clock at the WAN port

II. Routes
The route table contains two types of routes:

Static routes. You can set the route in the route table manually. Static routes are commonly used in networking to realize access to the remote network. Dynamic routes. Dynamic routes in the route table are addressed by the bound dynamic routing protocols, such as OSPF, RIP, IGRP and BGP. With these protocols, the router can discover corresponding routes dynamically in the network. The route priority varies according to the corresponding protocol.

III. Encapsulated Protocols for WAN


For smooth communications, communications protocols encapsulated on the WAN port on the local router must conform to those for the WAN port on the peer-end router. The common communications protocols are as follows:

HDLC PPP X.25 SLIP Frame Relay LAPB

IV. Clock at the WAN Port


When using the partial E1/T1 networking mode, the WAN port on the Quidway 2501 router works as a synchronous serial port. The synchronous serial port can work as a DTE and DCE. Therefore, you need to select the clock accordingly.

If as a DCE, it needs to provide clock for the peer-end DET. In this case, select DCEclk. If as a DTE, it receives clock from the peer-end DCE. For the synchronous equipment, the receiving and transmitting clocks are mutually independent. Therefore, you can select the receiving or transmitting clock of the DCE as the receiving clock of the DTE. It is the same case with the DTE transmitting clock. In this way, four combinations are available. That is, the clock at the DTE side has four choices, as shown in Table 1.1.

Table 1.1 Clock selection for the synchronous serial port at the DTE side Selection DTEclk1 Meaning TxClk = TxClk, RxClk = RxClk

Huawei Technologies Proprietary 27

Commissioning Guide iManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System

Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network

Selection DTEclk2 DTEclk3 DTEclk4

Meaning TxClk = TxClk, RxClk = TxClk TxClk = RxClk, RxClk = TxClk TxClk = RxClk, RxClk = RxClk

In this table, TxClk is the transmitting clock and RxClk the receiving clock. The clock in front of = is the DTE-side clock, while that behind = is the DCE-side clock. In the partial E1/T1 networking, the router is a DTE, and Mercury 3600 is a DCE. Therefore, Mercury 3600 provides the clock for the router.

V. Instance
This section uses an instance to introduce the scheme planning and commissioning procedure.

Plan the IP address of port E0 in the local Ethernet network as 129.9.0.1 and the subnet mask as 255.255.0.0. Plan the IP address of port S0 in the WAN as 129.8.0.1 and the subnet mask as 255.255.0.0. Plan the destination network segment of the static route as 129.10.0.0, subnet mask as 255.255.0.0 and next hop IP address as 129.8.0.2. Plan the encapsulated protocol for the WAN as PPP. Plan the clock at the WAN port as DTEclk2.

VI. Installing and Connecting Hardware


Install the router according to Quidway 2501 Installation Manual. Figure 1.1 shows how to connect Quidway 2501 with peripheral devices.

Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network

Execute ping to check whether the remote network is connected. [Quidway] ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP of E0 on the peer-end router)

If the system displays the following information, it shows that this WAN port is not activated:

Serial0 is down

In this case, execute the following commands to activate this WAN port: [Quidway] interface serial 0 [Quidway-Serial0] undo shutdown If still failed, check the cable connection to make sure that all cables are connected correctly and tightly.

If the system displays:

Serial0 is up, line protocol is down......

If you fail to ping the local S0 and the WAN port and E0 corresponding to the peerend router, it shows that the connection is not working. In this case, check and make sure that all cables are connected correctly and tightly. You can use the self-loop to verify whether the communications problem is caused by faulty links. Check further the router configuration, including the IP address, mask, static route, protocol encapsulated on the WAN port, the corresponding timeslot, and the extracted clock. Locate the problem, and make sure that you can ping the peerend LAN successfully.

3.6 Configuring Quidway 3640 Router


3.6.1 Introduction to Quidway 3640
I. Overview
Quidway 3640 is one type of the R2600/3600 series modulized routers of Huawei. It works as the network-side router in the M2000 remote network.

Note: What is described in this section applies only to the common networking. For more information, refer to related technical documents about Quidway 3640.

II. Rear View

Huawei Technologies Proprietary 32

Commissioning Guide iManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System

Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network

Figure 1.1 Rear view of Quidway 3640

III. Interfaces
Quidway 3640 provides up to four slots for network interfaces. You can configure up to four interface modules according to the actual need. This part describes the Ethernet module and WAN module used in the M2000 system network. There are two types of Ethernet modules:

1-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet interface module (1FE) 2-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet interface module (2FE)

The 1FE module provides one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 interface, while the 2FE module provides two. Ethernet ports on Quidway 3640 are numbered from Ethernet 0. For example, if you insert the 1FE module in slot 1 and the 2FE module in slot 2, the Ethernet port for slot 1 is numbered Ethernet 0, and those for slot 2 are numbered Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2. There are four types of WAN modules:

1-port channelized cE1/PRI module (1E1) 2-port channelized cE1/PRI module (2E1) 4-port channelized cE1/PRI module (4E1) 2SA/4SA fast synchronous/asynchronous serial port module

Each cE1 interface is a Controller E1. The Controller E1 ports are numbered as follows:

The first Controller E1 port is numbered Controller E1 0. From slot 0, the Controller E1 ports are numbered increasingly by degrees. The first Controller E1 port on the module in the following slot is numbered as the number of the last Controller E1 port on the module in the current slot plus one.

On the same interface module, the Controller E1 ports are numbered the same as the numbers marked on the module panel.

For example, if you insert a 4E1 module in slot 1 and a 2E1 module in slot 3 on Quidway 3640, the four cE1/PRI ports on the module in slot 1 are numbered from Controller E1 0 to Controller E1 3, and the two on the module in slot 3 are numbered Controller E1 4 and Controller E1 5.

3.6.3 Before Configuration


I. Overview of Scheme Planning
Before you configure the router, plan the following information according to the actual networking:

IP address and subnet mask of port E0 in the local Ethernet network IP address and subnet mask of port S0 in the WAN Destination network segment, subnet mask and next hop IP address for the wide-used static route Type of the WAN port, and the communications protocol to bind to interfaces, such as X.25, Frame Relay and HDLC Network protocol to use, such as AppleTalk, IP and IPX (usually IP selected)

II. WAN Port Working Mode


The WAN cE1/PRI port works in two modes: E1 and cE1/PRI.

When working in the E1 mode, it is an interface with a bandwidth as 2 Mbit/s and with no timeslot division. It has the same logical characteristics as the synchronous serial port. It supports link layer protocols such as PPP, Frame Relay, LAPB and X.25, and supports network protocols such as IP and IPX.

When working in the cE1/PRI mode, it is divided into 32 timeslots physically.


Huawei Technologies Proprietary 35

Commissioning Guide iManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System

Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network

These timeslots are numbered from 0 to 31. When working as a cE1 interface, it divides randomly all timeslots except timeslot 0 into several groups. The timeslots in each group are bound and work as a channel-group interface. This bound interface supports link layer protocols such as PPP, Frame Relay, LAPB and X.25, and supports network protocols such as IP and IPX.

Note: In the partial E1/T1 networking, Quidway 3640 works as the router in the Network Management Center (NMC). It communicates directly with various NE-side routers through port E1. The communication process is as this: Mercury 3600, a timeslot cross equipment, aggregates NMS information of various managed NEs to one E1 port, and then transmits the aggregated information to port E1 on the router. Therefore, it is important to configure port E1 on Quidway 3640.

III. Instance
This part uses an instance to introduce the scheme planning and commissioning procedure.

Plan the IP address of the Ethernet port in the local Ethernet network as 10.11.100.1 and the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.

I. Configuring HyperTerminaling
1) 2) Use the configuration cable delivered with Quidway 3640 to connect port CONSOLE on it and the serial port on the PC. Run the HyperTerminal program, and set up a connection. Use the serial port connection, and set the communications parameters as: 9600 bit/s, no parity check, one stop bit, flow control as Xon/Xoff, no FIFO buffer, and terminal type as VT100. 3) Switch on Quidway 3640, and HyperTerminal displays the self-check information about Quidway 3640. When the self-check is complete, the system prompts you to press Enter. 4) Press Enter, and the system enters the Router state.

II. Configuring Routering


You can configure the Quidway 3640 series routers in two ways:

The setup mode The command line mode

This part describes how to use the command line to configure the router.

Note: The system prompts you to configure the router in the setup mode on the first boot. You can also execute the command setup to enter the setup mode, as follows: [Quidway] setup

The detail procedure for configuring Quidway 3640 is as follows: 1) Log on the router.

Switch on the router, and the system carries out the self-check. When this self-check is complete, the system enters the system view, namely, the Router state. 2) Set the system name as the prompter.

[Quidway] sysname 3) Set the IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet port. //Enter the mode for configuring the specified

[Router] interface ethernet 0 Ethernet port E0.

[Router-Ethernet0] ip address 10.11.100.1 255.255.255.0 //Reset the IP address and mask for E0. 4) Set the WAN port cE1/PRI. //Set the E1 port with the number as 0.

III. Checking Configuration and Debugging Systemand debugging


When the router configuration at both sides of the network is complete, carry out the system debugging as follows: 1) Display the status of the WAN port serial 0.

When the router configuration is complete at both sides of the network, execute the following command on any router to display the S0 status: [Router] display interface serial 0 The displayed port information includes:

Physical status of the port and protocol status Physical characteristics of the port, such as synchronous/asynchronous, DTE/DCE, selected clock, baud rate and external cables IP address of the port Link layer protocols encapsulated on the port and their running status and statistics Input/output message statistics. Check the remote network.

2)

Execute ping to check whether the remote network is connected. [Router] ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP of E0 on the peer-end router) If you can ping the port, it shows that the configuration is correct and the network is usable. Otherwise, check the configuration and the network connection. You can use the self-loop to verify whether the communications problem is caused by faulty links. Check further the router configuration, including the IP address, mask, static route, protocol encapsulated on the WAN port, the corresponding timeslot, and the extracted clock. Locate the problem, and make sure that you can ping the peerend LAN successfully.

Chapter 4 Access of NEs to M2000


4.1 About This Manual
To access NEs to the M2000 means to access NEs to the M2000 O&M system. In this way, you can operate on and maintain all NEs through the M2000. Before accessed to the M2000, all NEs are debugged and working normally. This chapter introduces the order to access various NEs into the M2000 system, and also how to install the NE mediation software, create NEs and verify functions of each interface.

4.2 Before Access


Before you access NEs to the M2000: 1) Check whether the connection between the M2000 system and the NEs to access is normal. Execute the following command on the M2000 server:

ping <NE IP>


If the connection is normal, the NE responds to the ping command. 2) Prepare the mediation installation package for these NEs.

For example, the mediation installation package for the M2000V200R002C02B006 UMG is iManagerM2000_UMG_MATCH_ENG_V200R002C02B006.tar. 3) Check the running status of M2000 services.

Log on the M2000 server as root, and then execute the following command: # svc_adm -cmd status In normal circumstances, the information returned by the system contains [Not Runing : 0 ]. This shows that all the M2000 services are started. 4) Check the running status of the high availability (HA) system, if any.

Log on any of the two M2000 servers as root, and then execute the following command: # scstat In normal circumstances, the system returns the following information:

Cluster Nodes: Both two nodes are online. Cluster Transport Paths: There are two transport paths, and both are online. Quorum Votes by Node: Both nodes are online.

4.4 Installing NE Mediation Software


4.4.1 Introduction to NE Mediation Software
The M2000 software includes the common software and the mediation software. The common software provides basic M2000 functions, and the mediation software mediates various types of NEs to cover them in the M2000 system for uniform management. Make sure to install the mediation software separately after the M2000 common software is installed and running normally. Each NE has its own mediation software installation package. Execute this installation package on the M2000 server. When the mediation software is installed, start the M2000 client, and the system automatically downloads relevant information to the client from the M2000 server. The installation of the different type NE mediation is the same.

4.4.2 Preparing Installation Files


Download the mediation software installation package for the NE to be accessed from the website, and then upload it to the M2000 server as follows: 1) Create the installation package directory /export/home/mediation.

Log in to the M2000 server as user root, and then execute the following command: # mkdir -p /export/home/mediation 2) Upload this installation package in the bin mode to /export/home/mediation through FTP. For example, copy the mediation software installation package for the UMG iManagerM2000_UMG_MATCH_ENG_V200R002C02B006.tar to the M2000 client, and then upload it in the bin mode to /export/home/mediation on the M2000 server through FTP.

4.4.3 Stopping M2000 Services and Collector
