Chapter 2 Monitoring the System Alarms Alarms This section describes alarms, which indicate problems on the Cisco ICS 7750 or on systems with which it is communicating. Alarms are associated with the following: • Events—Physical problems, such as system overheating or loss of power, detected by the SAP card and reported to the ICS System Manager software. Events are associated with the following system components: – Chassis/backplane – Fans – Power supply modules • Traps—Problems, such as a

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System Logging Alarm Levels The system has the following two alarm levels: • Major alarm (amber LED)—Any state that indicates a system malfunction that can immediately result in a service outage or that indicates a system problem that can seriously degrade service. Examples include: – System overheating because of high ambient air temperature, an air intake or exhaust blockage, or fan failure – A power supply module outage – SPE memory parity or disk read/write erro

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System Logging Handling Log Messages with ICS System Manager ICS System Manager provides several options for handling the log messages directed to it. By default, the system sends log messages to the SPE, where they are stored on disk. ICS System Manager includes an Event Manager that enables you to view system events (messages) and define policies (a set of rules) that specify how you want the system to respond to a particular type of message. For example, for cert

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System SNMP Basics SNMP Basics The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) facilitates the exchange of management information among network devices. SNMP is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. SNMP enables you to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. SNMP Components An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components: managed devices, agents, and network manag

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System SNMP Basics • An SNMP management application, together with the computer it runs on, is called a network management system (NMS). An NMS executes applications that monitor and control managed devices. NMSs provide the bulk of the processing and memory resources required for network management. The Cisco ICS 7750 is compatible with the following NMSs: – ICS System Manager – CiscoWorks2000 – HP OpenView Figure 2-1 shows the relationships between the managed dev

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System SNMP Basics The following system components, though not SNMP-managed devices, receive SNMP support through ICS System Manager: • System alarm processor (SAP) card • Power supply modules • Fans • Chassis SNMP Management Information Base A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of information that is organized hierarchically. MIBs are accessed using a network management protocol such as SNMP. They comprise managed objects, which are identified by obj

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System SNMP Basics On the Cisco ICS 7750, the ICS System Manager software (the NMS) typically sends SNMP requests to a single IP address to access the SNMP MIBs of any system component. The SNMP agent can then respond to MIB-related queries being sent by the NMS. Similarly, if CiscoWorks2000 is the NMS, it uses the MIB variables to set device variables and poll devices on the network. You can then display the data that CiscoWorks2000 collects as a graph and analyze

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System SNMP Basics Cisco ICS 7750 Traps Cisco ICS 7750 ASI cards, MRP cards, and the SSP card can generate traps such as the following: • coldStart—Indicates power-up reset of a card. • warmStart—Indicates that software running on a card has been upgraded or that the card has been reset. • linkDown—Indicates that a port changed to a suspended or disabled state due to a secure address violation (mismatch or duplication), network connection error (such as a loss of Li

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System Monitoring with ICS System Manager • Number represents the target physical slot number (slots 1 through 8) of the SNMP request. Note All SNMP requests with a composite community string of @SLOT9 or higher are directed to the SSP, which determines the proper SNMP message destination. For example, assuming that a particular SNMP request needs to reach an MRP card in slot 3, the following composite community string could be used: ICS7750@SLOT3 where ICS7750 repr

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System Monitoring with Cisco IOS Software SNMP and the CiscoWorks2000 Interface Using SNMP, CiscoWorks2000 retrieves CDP information by polling Cisco CallManager. After the discovery process is completed, a topology map reveals all the Cisco CallManager installations in the network. CiscoWorks2000 also polls other MIB tables in the CISCO-CCM-MIB to gather information required by other components, such as User Tracking (refer to the CiscoWorks2000 Campus Manager onli

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System Monitoring with Cisco IOS Software Evaluating Reachability and Response Times Polling remote parts of the network enables you to test reachability and measure response times. Response-time measurements consist of sending a ping (packet internet groper) packet and measuring the round-trip time (RTT) that it takes to send the packet and receive a response. The ping packet is sent and received as an ICMP echo packet. Note For information about ping command usage

Chapter 2 Monitoring the System Monitoring with Cisco IOS Software With in-band monitoring, network management data is sent over the same paths as user traffic. This means that any problems on the network will be more difficult to solve because collecting troubleshooting data will take longer. Using management tools is beneficial even when the internetwork is congested, failing, or under a security attack. With out-of-band monitoring, network management data travels on different paths than
