The system prvides direct n-line pwer supervisin, cnfiguratin, mnitring and diagnstics f PwerDsine prducts via WEB / SNMPv2c / SNMPv3 / Telnet/SSH. 2.1 Features The principle f peratin is similar fr all Midspan mdels described in this manual. The manager prvides a number f unique features alng with multiple access ptins: Access Optins: HTTP: Web based friendly cnfiguratin interface fr managing remte Pwer ver Ethernet device SSL: Secured WEB based cnfiguratin SNMPv2c/v1 and secured plus encrypted SNMPv3 Telnet: Remte terminal ver Ethernet Netwrk SSH: Remte encrypted terminal ver Ethernet Netwrk RFC3621 Pwer ver Ethernet (PE) SNMP MIBs Private MIB extensin fr RFC3621 PE MIB RADIUS: Authenticatin and accunting fr WEB / Telnet./ SSH remte WEB users SysLg Server: Lg events sent t remte SysLg Server Autmatic Service Cnfiguratin by DHCP: Enables DHCP Server t cnfigure autmatically Midspan SNMP Manager's IP address, SysLg Servers IP address, Radius Servers IP address Easy sftware update during run time withut affecting active PE prts Cnfiguratin and real time mnitring using graphical representatins f remte device System status display Autmatic activatin / deactivatin f PE prts based n weekly schedule cnfiguratin Autmatic deactivatin f lw pririty prts when UPS battery is lw Pwer backup by 2nd Midspan r external Pwer Surce (90xxG series nly) 2.2 System Capabilities The manager can be accessed frm any cmputer using any WEB brwser, SNMPv2c/SNMPv3 management statin, Telnet/SSH, RS232 Terminal r USB virtual COM (Midspan 90xxG series). The Pwer View Pr enables mnitring and cntrlling f ver Ethernet IP netwrks as shwn in Figure 2-1. 8
2.3 Cnfiguratin Optins Figure 2-1: Management Deplyment Serial cmmunicatin cnfiguratin shuld be used t define the unit s IP address, uplad / dwnlad unit cnfiguratin, restre unit cnfiguratin t factry default, r update sftware. Any ther cnfiguratin shuld be carried ut via the WEB brwser. Web based: Via a WEB brwser SNMPv1/2c/3: Via an SNMP management applicatin n a remte cmputer Telnet: Via a Telnet applicatin n a remte cmputer SSH: By using SSH client applicatin n a remte cmputer Serial cmmunicatin prt: Via a DB9 prt using Terminal emulatin sftware such as Micrsft Windws Hyper Terminal, r any similar sftware (excluding Midspan 90xxG series). Serial cmmunicatin prt via USB Virtual Cmmunicatin Prt driver (Midspan 90xxG series nly): Simplifies RS232 cmmunicatin whenever laptp is in use Serial cmmunicatin rate must be set t 38400, n hardware flw cntrl and crss cable shuld be used (pin 2 crssed with pin 3). The Midspan default IP address is 192.168.0.50. Make sure that a cmputer netwrk card is cnfigured t the same IP netwrk (fr example 192.168.0.40). The Telnet/SSH and WEB cnfiguratin ptins are passwrd prtected. 9
2.4 Security and User Authenticatin Different security prvisins are available, depending n the type f cnfiguratin used. 2.4.1 Web Security Web interface has tw user access levels, Viewer and Administratr. Viewer: The user has access nly t Web pages which reprt Midspan status f cnfiguratin summary and can nt change the Midspan cnfiguratin. Administratr: The user has full access t all Web pages and can edit the Midspan cnfiguratin. 2.4.2 SNMP Security SSL (https) ffer encryptin and authenticatin prtectin in additin t Viewer & Administratr access levels. SNMP v1/v2: Cmmunity string is utilized fr Get/Set/Trap authenticatin. SNMPv1/v2 is cnsidered an unsecured prtcl since the cmmunity string passwrd can be easily intercepted by any Netwrk sniffer device. SNMP v3: Overcme SNMPv1/v2 security issues by adding authenticating and encryptin t SNMP packets. 2.4.3 Telnet/SSH Security Since Telnet prvides access t varius cnfiguratin parameters, sftware update and data base uplad/dwnlad, it is always passwrd prtected. The Web interface has a dedicated passwrd, while Telnet and SSH utilize the same passwrds. The Pwer View Pr is prvided with the fllwing factry defaults passwrds: WEB/Telnet/SSH: View (usually user) : user name = user, passwrd = passwrd Cnfigure (usually administratr): user name = admin, passwrd = passwrd. SNMP v3: Guest (usually remte SNMP manager) : user name = public View User (usually user) : user name = view, authenticatin passwrd (MD5) = passwrd, : privacy passwrd (DES)= passwrd, Admin User (usually administratr) : user name = admin, authenticatin passwrd (MD5) = passwrd, : privacy passwrd (DES)= passwrd, 10

4.3.4.5 Manual Override Key Whenever the Weekly Schedule feature is activated, the IT manager can cnfigure ne f the Midspan PE prts t act as a Manual Override Deactivatin key. This enables easy temprary deactivatin f the Weekly Schedule feature, whenever an authrized user arrives at wrk during unexpected hurs. The IT manager selects the verride prt manually via the Web interface and then enables the verride feature; an icn then appears n the selected prt. The Deactivatin key is an ptinal item which may be purchased separately frm. Upn unexpected user arrival t wrk, the user inserts the deactivatin key int the previusly assigned verride prt (Figure 4-8) (usually ruted thrugh the patch panel near the drway entrance). Figure 4-8: Manual Override Deactivatin key As lng as the verride key is inserted, all deactivated PE prts remain active. Upn leaving wrk, the user remves the verride key, which in-turn will causes all Weekly Schedule assigned prts t turn Off (Weekly Schedule time cnfiguratin dependent). In cases where the icn appears but the crrespnding prt LED des nt illuminate, it means that that the prt had been assigned as a bypass prt, but the key has nt been inserted. 4.3.4.6 Weekly Scheduled Activated Prt/s The weekly schedule feature enables (when checked) scheduling f autmatic PE prts activatin/deactivatin as set in the weekly schedule activatin scheme. When the icn appears n a prt, it means that a specific prt had been activated by the Weekly Schedule algrithm, and it can prvide pwer t an external PE device. When the icn appears n a prt, it means that a specific prt was temprary and has been deactivated by the Weekly Schedule algrithm.

This in turn can prvide the user with a viewer access level, administratr access level, r reject the remte user. Any invalid activity (e.g. user was rejected, user tried t access the cnfiguratin sectin), is reprted t the SysLg Server Figure 4-46: RADIUS Cnfiguratin Screen Enable RADIUS Authenticatin: When checked, all remte Telnet/SSH/Web users are authenticated by the RADIUS Server. If RADIUS is cnfigured incrrectly, the nly way t deactivate RADIUS is t cnnect t the unit s lcal RS232 terminal and selecting the Restre t factry default ptin. This actin leaves the unit s IP unchanged and restres mst f the unit s cnfiguratin parameters t their default values. Enable RADIUS Accunting Reprt: When enabled, (checked), the Midspan sends an accunting reprt whenever lgin r lgut f remte Web/Telnet/SSH users ccurs. Nte that the Accunting reprt can be enabled nly if RADIUS Authenticatin is enabled. 48
Authenticatin Methd: Determines whether the remte user, username and passwrd is sent t the RADIUS Server via PAP r CHAP (mre secure). Primary and Secndary RADIUS Server IP Address: IP address f the RADIUS Server. In cases where there is n reply frm the primary RADIUS server after 3 retries, the same authenticatin request will be sent t the backup RADIUS Server. Shared Secret: The same string must be cnfigured bth in the RADIUS server and the Midspan RADIUS client. Authenticatin UDP Prt: Shuld nt be changed, unless yu use a RADIUS Server which utilizes UDP prt 1645. Accunting UDP Prt: Shuld nt be changed, unless yu use a RADIUS Server which utilizes UDP prt 1646. Timeut: A perid f time (in secnds) during which the Midspan RADIUS client waits fr a reply frm the RADIUS Server befre resending a request. Nte that the Midspan RADIUS client retries up t 3 times befre accessing the backup RADIUS server. Fr example, if timeut equals tw secnds, the backup server will be accessed nly after 6 secnds. 4.3.11.1 Cnfiguring RADIUS Server t Prvide Viewer/Administratr a Privileged Access T get administratr privileges, RADIUS Server Authenticatin-Reply shuld cntain a 'callback-number' attribute with an 'admin' value.

The RADIUS server can use it t prvide the apprpriate privilege access level. Whenever RADIUS authenticatin is enabled, Web users will be authenticated regardless f whether r nt the Web username and passwrd validatin was unchecked (disabled). 4.3.12 System Cnfiguratin - Dynamic UPS Pwer Management Dynamic UPS pwer management (Figure 4-47) enables extending UPS peratin time whenever pwer failure ccurs by mnitring the UPS battery level. Whenever the battery level starts t decline, the Midspan autmatically starts shutting dwn lw pririty prts t save verall pwer cnsumptin, which in turn extends the peratin f critical PD devices by extending UPS peratin time. Figure 4-47: Dynamic UPS Pwer Management Parameters t be set by the user are (see Figure 4-48): UPS SNMP Agent Netwrk Parameters Vendr Specific SNMP Parameters 49
Maximum Prvided Pwer Versus UPS Battery Level Whenever Dynamic UPS Pwer Management is enabled, the View - Status screen prvides infrmatin related t the UPS status (battery level, UPS perates n AC/Battery, UPS Battery remaining time). User shuld nt change by SNMP private MIB mainpwerusagebudget OiD while Dynamic UPS Pwer Management is enabled.

Figure 5-5 describes tw PD-9024G/ACDC/M Midspans backing up each ther, while in Redundancy Pwer- Backup mde. Ttal pwer f bth Midspans is limited t 430 watts (due t redundant mde cnfiguratin). Lcal Midspan maximum pwer was reduced by the Midspan pwer manager t 143 watts, while external Midspan maximum pwer was increased t 287 watts. Ttal pwer cnsumptin f bth Midspans is 237.8 watts. 5.3.2 Changing Pwer Limit (%) by SNMP Midspan maximum pwer can be limited by SNMP private MIB Object-Id mainpwerusagebudget (see Figure 5-6), r by Midspan itself whenever Dynamic UPS Pwer Management is enabled. Pwer shift between tw 90xxG Midspans pauses whenever the pwer limit (%) is less then 100% and resumes autmatically whenever pwer limit will be restred back t 100%. Changing pwer-limit (%) in ne f the 90xxG Midspan's will change autmatically pwer-limit n 2 nd Midspan t same value. 63
Figure 5-6: Midspan Pwer Limit by SNMP Table 5-3 describes an example f tw 9024G Midspans which back up each ther in Redundant Mde and whse mainpwerusagebudget SNMP OiD is changed frm 100% t 70%. Table 5-3: mainpwerusagebudget SNMP OiD Vs Midspan Maximum Pwer 5.3.3 Activating Dynamic UPS Pwer Management Dynamic UPS Pwer Management feature shuld be cnfigured nly n a single 90xxG Midspan whenever tw 90xxG Midspans pwer backup each ther. When the cnfigured Midspan detects a UPS pwer failure (UPS switched t battery), it will mdify Pwer-Limit % as per the user cnfiguratin. A Pwer-Limit value n the 2 nd 90xxG Midspan autmatically fllws a Pwer-Limit value f the Midspan which mnitrs the UPS ver SNMP.. mainpwerusagebudget SNMP OiD Maximum Pwer (Pwer Limit = 100%) Maximum Pwer (Pwer Limit = 70%) Midspan-1 Max Pwer Midspan-2 Max Pwer Ttal Pwer 287 watts 143 watts 430 watts Enabled Pwer Transfer Between Midspans 200 watts 100 watts 300 watts Pause (Pwer-Limit < 100%) The user shuld nt change by SNMP private MIB mainpwerusagebudget OiD while Dynamic UPS Pwer Management is enabled. 64
5.3.4 Pwer Failure and Invalid Midspan t Midspan Pwer Backup Cnnectin Reprt Pwer failure: In case f a pwer failure in ne 90xxG Midspan units, an SNMP trap (see SNMP private MIB) and SysLg message is sent t the SNMP Manager and SysLg manager, and an errr message appears in View-Status web page. Anther SNMP & SysLg message is sent whenever pwer is restred. Main Pwer LED will blink whenever 90xxG Midspan is being pwered by external Midspan/RPS due t internal pwer supply failure (n AC pwer). Invalid cnnectin: The fllwing behavir ccurs in cases where a 90xxG Midspan having a 450 watt pwer supply is cnnected t anther 90xxG Midspan having 1000 watt pwer supply: Bth Midspans will reduce maximum pwer t 41 watts which shuld stp pwer t mst PE PD devices. A Midspan reprt invalid cnfiguratin by sending SNMP Trap & SysLg message. An errr message appears n the View->Status Web page. A repeating errr message will appear n Terminal/Telnet/SSH screen. 65
6 SNMP Mnitring and Cnfiguratin Multiple Midspan devices management can be perfrmed by using 3rd party standard netwrk management tls such as HP Openview r SNMPc (Figure 6-1). 6.1 Enabling Midspan SNMP Figure 6-1: Netwrk Management Tl The Midspan manager mdule supprts SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. T use SNMP: 1. Brwse t the System Cnfiguratin SNMP r SNMPv3 Web page and verify that either ne f them is enabled. Fr SNMPv2c, brwse t the System Cnfiguratin SNMP Web page. Make sure that cmmunity strings match yur SNMP manager cnfiguratin. Fr SNMPv3, brwse t System Cnfiguratin SNMPv3 Web page and make sure username, authenticatin and privacy passwrd and encryptin methd match yur SNMP manager cnfiguratin. 2. Brwse t SNMP Web page. Enable PE MIB traps and set remte manager IP address in the Trap list. 6.2 SNMP MIBs Several MIBs are supprted by Midspan SNMP manager. RFC3621: Pwer Over Ethernet MIB which prvides varius management capabilities (see belw) Private MIB: Enhance PE functinality beynd RFC3621 PE MIB. RFC1213: MIB2 which prvides general netwrk statistics, and infrmatin n the device being managed. Varius SNMPv3 MIBs as RFC3413, RFC3414, RFC3415 66
6.3 RFC3621 PE MIB Fr a detailed PE MIB descriptin, refer t s Technical Nte 132, which describes in detail PE MIB functinality. RFC3621 PE MIB is lcated at 1.3.6.1.2.1.105 tree. The MIB is divided int 3 sectins (see Figure 6-2). The 1st sectin deals with PE prts and prvides functinality as Enable/Disable, read prt status, class, etc. Each OiD is accessed as a tw dimensinal array table. The 2nd sectin deals with pwer surce which is respnsible t prvide pwer t a grup f PE prts. It enables reading ttal pwer cnsumptin, pwer supply status, etc. The 3rd sectin enable/disables PE traps t be sent t remte SNMP managers. 6.4 Private MIB Figure 6-2: MIB Tree Structure Midspan's private MIB extend RFC3621 PE MIB with the fllwing additinal management functinalities (see Figure 6-3): 67
Prt Parameters Figure 6-3: MIBs Management Functinalities Readut f each individual prt's pwer cnsumptin. Set maximum pwer that the PD device may cnsume. System Parameters Reslves MIB-II SysbjID descriptin. Read Pwer Supply vltage. Read/Set detectin methd (802.3af+at r 202.3af+at plus legacy). Read/Set Midspan pwer budget percentage (%). Fr example setting t 50% fr Midspan with 400Watt capacity, limits Midspan pwer t 200 Watt. NOTES: 1. Pwer budget limitatin will be canceled whenever the Midspan manager mdule is restarted, r the Midspan is turned ff and n. 2. 65xx, 65xxG, 70xxG - Midspan pwer budget cannt be set belw 37 Watt. Whenever cnfiguring pwer budget in percentage (%), belw 37 watt (e.g. 18% fr a 200 watt unit), Midspan will reprt 18% regardless f user pwer budget cnfiguratin. Fr 400 watt units lwest pwer budget percentage is 9%. 3. 90xxG - Midspan pwer budget cannt be set belw 41 Watt. Read internal Pwer Supply maximum pwer capabilities (regardless f pwer limitatin). 68

Extend PD maximum pwer t 36Watt r limit t 30Watt as per 802.3at specificatin. Reprt pwer backup type (stand alne/rps/2 nd Midspan/Invalid pwer backup device). Reprt internal pwer surce status. Reprt external pwer surce status. 69
7 Sftware Upgrade The fllwing sectins describe hw t upgrade the system sftware. 7.1 Architecture There are tw types f sftware upgrades assciated with the Pwer ver Ethernet (PE) Midspan: Midspan Manager Mdule Sftware: Updates Midspan management applicatin (including all Web pages) that prvide remte Netwrk management capabilities. Midspan Firmware: Update firmware used t manage PE Pwer prts (rarely required). Figure 7-1: System Sftware Architecture 7.2 Sftware Upgrade frm Versin 2.xx t 3.xx, r frm 3.xx t 3.xy 7.2.1 General NOTES: Active PE prts are nt be affected by sftware update. (n intermediate pwer failure t PD devices). A sftware update is required when a newer sftware versin is issued by the vendr, r when a malfunctin ccurs and the current versin must be re-installed. T update the sftware, the user must verify that the TFTP Server applicatin is installed and that an update sftware files package is available (see image belw) Sftware update menu can be accessed nly by Telnet/SSH (remte sftware update) r Cnsle (lcal sftware update). 70
Telnet (using RJ-45): Prvides remte update capabilities, with n need t be in the site Cnsle (RS232 cnnectr): Prvides lcal access t sftware update menus (nt applicable fr PD- 6548). NOTES: 1. In bth cases sftware update is perfrmed by TFTP. The Telnet r Cnsle ptins are utilized t access the apprpriate menu and activate sftware update via TFTP. 2. When accessing the system via Telnet/SSH, the user is prmpted t type user name and passwrd. If upgrading is perfrmed lcally, user name and passwrd are nt required. 7.2.2 Upgrade Prcess T upgrade the sftware: 1. Run the TFTP Server sftware prvided n a CD. 2. Cpy the sftware update files t the required flder n yur TFTP server. It is recmmended that the TFTP server be n the same Ethernet netwrk as the Midspan. 3. Activate the HyperTerminal applicatin. The HyperTerminal main screen appears (empty). 4. Click ENTER r ESC. The main menu appears. 5. Select the Cnfiguratin & Maintenance Menu (2). The fllwing screen appears: 6. Select the Sftware Update Menu. Yu will be asked t type the TFTP Server IP address. 7. Type the apprpriate TFTP server s IP address. The fllwing screen appears: 71
