Access Node Software
Read this section for summary information about the AN/ANH router software. It
describes
• Tools available for configuring and managing an AN/ANH
• Kernel and application files
• Boot configuration options
AN and ANH models support all major LAN and WAN protocols, standard IBM
transport, and dialup services. A choice of protocol suites (IP Access Suite,
Remote Office Suite, or Corporate Suite) provides site-specific software
configurations at remote AN and ANH installations.
As for all Bay Networks routers, the Access Node family provides extensive MIB
variable support, including
• Standard MIB II
• Bay Networks proprietary MIB
• Managed Hub (RFC 1516 MIB) for ANH models
• Remote Monitoring (RMON RFC 1757) for ANH models with a DCM option
Software Management Tools
You configure and manage an AN or ANH using
• The
Technician Interface
, a terminal-based command-line interface that
operates in router memory. You run Technician Interface commands and
scripts for SNMP-based MIB access from an attached console or from a
remote console, via modem.
• The
Diagnostics Monitor
, a firmware diagnostics agent with a command-line
interface. You use the Diagnostics Monitor to configure the router’s boot
configuration.
•
Site Manager
software, a platform-independent, SNMP-based router
management and configuration application with a graphical user interface.
You run Site Manager at a workstation that is connected, along with the
router, to an IP network.
