3. NETWORK PROCEDURES
Network Procedures
The network components for the Lucent Technologies Network Component Solution
(LNCS), as described in Section 2.7, consist of a smart Ethernet
1
switch at the host
site, which is connected to routers at both the host site and each remote DRM site.
The procedures that support the administration, maintenance, and provisioning of
these components are included in this chapter.
Whenever any circuit card in any of the routers (host or remote) is faulty the
recommended recovery procedure is to replace the entire unit. To shorten the recovery
time, a backup copy of the unit’s configuration file will be downloaded to the unit. This
means that the configuration files must be stored on another device and backed up
whenever there are any changes to the configuration.
For the remote networking router, the backup copy is stored at the DRM’s AWS in
/dynastar/cnfgload.cmp. A readable ASCII configuration file (filename=config) will also
be backed up. It can be used for maintenance purposes.
For the host networking routers (host_a, host_b, and host_c), the backup copies are
stored on the ASM in:
• /varapp/dynastar/host_a/cnfgload.cmp (host_a)
• /varapp/dynastar/host_b/cnfgload.cmp (host_b)
• /varapp/dynastar/host_c/cnfgload.cmp (host_c).
An ASCII configuration file (filename=config) will also be backed up. It can be used
for maintenance purposes.
Procedures
The procedures necessary to support the administration, maintenance, and
provisioning of the networking components include the following:
• Procedure 3.1 Local Log on to the Networking Router
• Procedure 3.2 Remote Log on to the Networking Router
• Procedure 3.3 Back Up the DynaStar 500

(Base/Growth) Router Configuration
File at the DRM Site
• Procedure 3.4 Back Up the DynaStar 500 (Base/Growth) Router Configuration
File at the Host Site
• Procedure 3.5 Restore the Configuration Settings for the DynaStar 500
(Base/Growth) Router at the DRM Site
• Procedure 3.6 Restore the Configuration Settings for the DynaStar 500
(Base/Growth) Router at the Host Site
• Procedure 3.7 Configure the Router for Serial Asynchronous Interface (SAI) at
the DRM Site
• Procedure 3.8 Set Up the High-Speed Interface for NFM/SCC Data to the Host
Site
