Inband management offers the ability to manage Avidia networks, including attached modems
or subtended systems, from a Network Management System (NMS) or Element Management
System (EMS), such as StarGazer. This management occurs over the same ATM network that
is used for data transmission, but on a ATM PVC that you set up specifically for management.
The NMS/EMS must be running an SNMP utility. See the figure below for an example
configuration.
An IP address is associated with either a physical port or a logical port (ifIndex) that is part of
the Avidia system, including subtended chassis. Through this IP address, the NMS/EMS can
inband manage through an SNMP request.
Out-of-band management of both Avidia systems and modems is also available through a
connection of an NMS/EMS to the Ethernet port on the Avidia Management card (AMC).
SNMP requests, which are UDP/IP, are handled in the same manner by the AMC whether
received inband through the ATM network or out-of-band through the Ethernet port.
See the following sections for information on how inband SNMP requests are handled for:
• Avidia systems
• modems
• subtended systems
