Procedure 7-1: Provision system administration parameters
Overview
Use this procedure as a reference for provisioning optional system administration parameters from the System View Administration menu.
Administration parameters allow you to:
-
Change your own password (Change Password)
-
Provision User and Network Element Security
-
Provision Data Communications
-
Set TL1 Message Map
-
Change NE Login Banner
-
Set Date and Time
-
Set TID (system name)
-
Set NE defaults (FTP, AGNE, remote NE status)
-
Provision Network Time Protocol
Depending on local procedures, types of configurations, and shelf equipage, some of the optional parameters may need to be set. It is assumed that local system administration is responsible for determining these parameter settings.
Some of the parameter values may be set during the initial shelf turn-up. Other parameter values may be set after the system is integrated into the network configuration.
Steps
Use the sections in this procedure as reference for setting system administration parameters.
1 |
Reference the sections in this procedure to provision the required Administration parameters from your work instructions. Important! Some of the parameters may have already been provisioned from earlier procedures. End of steps |
Change Password
This command allows any user to change his/her own password.
Administration → Change Password
Procedure 7-2: Change your own password
Security
This command allows privileged users and in some cases also administration users to perform the following:
-
User Security Provisioning
Administration → Security → Provision User Logins
Procedure 7-3: Edit, delete, or enter a user's login
Creates or modifies another user's security data (for example, user IDs and passwords).
-
Enable/Disable Lockout Security State (privileged users only)
Administration → Security → Enable Lockout Security State
Administration → Security → Disable Lockout Security State
Procedure 7-4: Enable/disable lockout security state
Enables or locks out non-privileged user ID access to the NE.
-
Enable/Disable User IDs
Administration → Security → Enable User Login
Administration → Security → Disable User Login
Procedure 7-17: Enable/disable user IDs
Enables/disables one or all non-default user logins.
-
Log Out Other Network Element Users
Administration → Security → Logout NE User
Terminates the login session of the user executing this command in addition to either one user, or all non-privileged, or all non-administration users. Privileged or administration users must be terminated one user at a time.
-
Network Element Security Provisioning
Administration → Security → Provision NE Security
Procedure 7-18: Provision network element security
Provisions network element level security parameters (for example, User ID Lockout Threshold).
-
SNMP User Provisioning (privileged users only)
Administration → Security → Provision SNMP Users
Procedure 7-21: Edit, delete, or enter SNMP users
Related SNMP provisioning may require LAN port provisioning, IP Routing, TCP/IP access.
-
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) Provisioning
Administration → Security → Provision RADIUS Server
Procedure 7-22: Provision RADIUS authentication for user logins
Provisions RADIUS server information (for example, IP address).
Allow/Inhibit Autonomous Message Reporting
This command allows any user to enable or disable autonomous messages for their login session.
Administration → Allow/Inhibit Autonomous Message Reporting → Current Session
Procedure 7-5: Allow/inhibit autonomous message reporting
Allows/Inhibits reporting of autonomous alarm and status messages on a user basis per login session. Select Enabled or Disabled as required.
Change NE Login Banner
This command allows a privileged user to add a user-defined proprietary notice at login to enhance system security.
Administration → Change NE Login Banner
Procedure 7-6: Create or edit login banner
Set NE
This command allows a privileged user to provision the NE defaults for the following:
-
Enable/Disable remote NE status
-
Enable/Disable the NE as an Alarm Gateway Network Element (AGNE) and assign alarm group numbers
-
Enable/Disable File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
-
Enable/Disable FTAM-FTP Gateway Control
-
Provision the Security and History Log warning thresholds.
Administration → Set NE
Set Date and Time
This command allows a privileged user to manually provision the network element Date and Time.
Administration → Set Date and Time
Instead of manually provisioning the network element Date and Time, the following command allows a privileged user to provision the network element to use Network Time Protocol.
Administration → Set Network Time Protocol
Procedure 7-8: Set date and time
Set TID
This command allows a privileged user to provision the Target Identifier (TID) for this NE. The most common time to change the TID is prior to placing the system in service. However, this procedure can also be used to change the TID of an in-service system.
Administration → Set TID
Procedure 7-9: Set/change system TID
The TID is a character string from 1 to 20 characters and must be unique for each NE in the network.
Data Communications
This command allows a privileged user to provision data communications functions.
Administration → Data Communications
Selecting one of the following tabs allows a privileged user to provision Data Communications parameters:
-
IP Routing
Use this procedure to provision IP Routing functionality to utilize DCC Channels for IP communications.
-
TCP/IP Gateway
Use this procedure to enable or disable the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 as a TL1 TCP/IP GNE and provision authorized IP calling OS host addresses.
Note that TCP/IP functionality must also be enabled and the required TCP/IP parameters provisioned for the LAN-1 port.
Procedure 7-14: Provision/enable/disable the NE as a TL1 TCP/IP GNE
-
Serial Port
Use this procedure to provision the CIT-1 serial port parameters. The user of a serial port may provision the echo and baudrate parameters. Only a privileged user may modify the parameters without using the serial port.
-
SNMP Management
Use this procedure to provision system SNMP management features.
Related SNMP provisioning may require LAN port provisioning, IP Routing, and TCP/IP access.
-
NSAP Threshold Alarming
Use this procedure to provision the NSAP count threshold level for monitoring the number of NSAPs in the level 1 area.
-
OSI LAN Management
Use this procedure to enable or disable the OSI-LAN port status for LAN-1.
-
Network Layer
Use this procedure to provision the NSAP address, Router ID, and Level 1 or Level 1&2 router functionality.
Values should not be changed from default values except by users who intend to provision the SONET/SDH subnetwork and partition DCC communications.
-
TARP, TARP Data Cache, and TARP Manual Adj.
Use this procedure to provision user settable fields and functions relating to TARP Propagation and Origination parameters, TARP Data Cache entries, and TARP Manual Adjacencies.
-
TCP/IP
Use this procedure to provision, enable, or disable TCP/IP on the LAN-1 port. This is also used to enable or disable proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) on the LAN-1 port.
Set TL1 Message Map
This command allows a privileged user to map TL1 autonomous message types to an OS type application context ID (ACID). TL1 autonomous messages are not reported unless they are assigned to an OS type.
Administration → Set TL1 Message Map
Procedure 7-16: Map TL1 message types to OS applications
Set Network Time Protocol
This command allows a privileged user to provision the Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server properties for this NE.
Administration → Set Network Time Protocol
If Network Time Protocol is not used, the following command allows a privileged user to manually provision the network element Date and Time.
Administration → Set Date and Time
Procedure 7-8: Set date and time
If you are using NTP, it is assumed that either IP Routing has already been established or each node has its own IP address.
