Chapter 3

Using the Software

You can manage the system through VT100 Terminal Emulation, which is accessible by a Telnet
session, HyperTerminal or similar terminal emulation software, a standard SNMP network manager,
and CanogaView.

Setting Up for Network Management

Typically, the 9160 runs within the network on an Ethernet connection, communicating with your
Network Management Platform.

Set Up the Network Management Platform

You must run several Management Information Bases (MIBs) on your Network Management
Platform in order to successfully manage this module. Before you start, check that these industry-
standard MIBs are loaded:

• Standard MIB
• Dot2sd.mib
• Etherlike.mib
• If.mib
• Bridge.mib
• Pbridge.mib

In addition, download these private mibs, available from the Canoga Perkins web site; go to
www.Canoga.com, click Support, then click Software Download, and follow the prompts on screen.

• Cp.mib Supports all Canoga Perkins products
• Cpsysinf.mib Supports SNMP access
• Cphost.mib Supports Host Table and Host Access functions
• Cptraptb.mib Supports the Trap Table

Setting up the VT100 session depends on which connection, serial port or Ethernet, you have
available for access to the VT100 management program. Canoga Perkins suggests that you use
HyperTerminal for your first session. You must set up TCP/IP before you can use Telnet.
