Managing Routers and BNX Platforms

1-2

To access the Conﬁguration Manager tool, select Tools

➔

Conﬁguration Manager

from the Site Manager main window. You must then specify the operating mode

(Local File, Remote File, or Dynamic):

• Use Local File mode to create or edit a conﬁguration ﬁle locally on the Site

Manager workstation for later implementation on the router.

• Use Remote File mode if you can access the router over the network but want

to implement the conﬁguration at a later date.

• Use Dynamic mode if you can access the router over the network and want to

conﬁgure the system in real time.

For more information on using the Conﬁguration Manager, refer to

Conﬁguring

Routers

Monitoring Traps and Events

Two types of messages help you manage a router:

•

Trap messages

provide realtime information on the operating status of the

routers running on your network. Routers using the Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP), an industry standard, produce trap messages.

You use the Trap Monitor tool in Site Manager to view these messages.

•

Event messages

also provide information on the operating status of the routers

running on your network; however, event messages provide a more detailed

description. You can use the Events Manager tool in Site Manager to display

event messages.

Alternatively, on UNIX workstations, you can use the Bay Networks

implementation of the UNIX

syslog

facility to specify destinations for event

messages. For example, you can specify a ﬁle on a remote host to which you

want the syslog facility to forward event messages. You can then open or print

the ﬁle to view the event messages.

For an overview of how your routers are functioning, view the trap messages first;

then view event messages for more complete descriptions of the operating status

of the routers.

Note: This section focuses on using the Events Manager to display event

messages. For information on using the syslog facility, refer to Appendix B.
