Router Management Tools

You configure and manage an ASN using

•The Technician Interface, a command-line interface which operates in router

memory. You execute Technician Interface commands and scripts either from

an attached console or from a remote console via a modem.

• Site Manager software, an SNMP-based application with a graphical user

interface. You run Site Manager at a workstation that is connected, along with

the router, to an IP network.

• Optivity

/RM (Router Management), a comprehensive network management

application for administering and troubleshooting large, complex networks.

The Optivity/RM package includes Site Manager, PathMan, and RouterMan

software.

Router Software

Before it can operate, the ASN hardware needs to boot a software image. To

bridge and route traffic, the ASN also needs a configuration file that is tailored to

your network.

The router software image, asn.exe, comprises the following executable files:

•The krnl_asn.exe software image file, which contains the operating system

kernel.

• Application files -- executable files needed to perform the functions specified

in the configuration file. All application files have .exe filename extensions.

(For example, the router needs an ipx.exe executable file to run IPX.)

Boot Configuration Options

This section summarizes your options for getting the ASN software image file and

configuration files.

An ASN boots using one of four configured startup options. The differences

among the four ASN startup options are based on whether the router retrieves boot

and configuration files over the network or from local memory.
