This chapter describes how to connect the AAA to the M2000 and how to manage the AAA
through the element management system (EMS).
Figure 1-1 Networking diagram between the AAA and the EMS
The EMS communicates with the Service Management Point (SMP) of the AAA through the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The SMP obtains the required information
from the iSCC and the MML of AAA. Then the SMP sends the information to the EMS.
This topic describes AAA configurations that must be completed before the AAA connects to
the M2000.
Prerequisites
The AAA has been installed and is running properly.
Procedure
Step 1 Configure M2000 information in the snmp.cfg file.
1. Log in to the AAA server as the smp user.
2. Open the $HOME/smp_run/cfg/snmp.cfg file.
vi $HOME/smp_run/cfg/snmp.cfg
[MANAGER]
IPADDR = 10.137.161.5
PORT = 10163
[AGENT]
IPADDR = itellin156
PORT = 1888
READCOMMUNITY = private
WRITECOMMUNITY = private
NOTE
The default home directory of the smp user is /export/home/smp.
3. Modify the $HOME/smp_run/cfg/snmp.cfg file based on the site requirements.
Table 1-1 lists parameters in the snmp.cfg file.
The SNMP_AGENT default value is yes, indicating that the SNMP agent is used.
4. Save the .cshrc file and exit.
5. Run the following command in the $HOME directory for the modification to take effect:
source .cshrc
Step 3 Restart the SMP and verify that the SMP processes are normal.
1. Run the following command:
l In the single-node system:
restart.sh
l In the SUN Cluster (two-node cluster):
scswitch -n -j app_isms
scswitch -e -j app_isms
l In the VCS two-node cluster:
hares -offline app_isms -sys itellin1 itellin2
----End
Prerequisites
l The M2000 server mapping the AAA has been installed and is running properly.
l The M2000 client has been installed and is running properly.
NOTE
The version number of the M2000 client must be the same as that of the M2000 server.
Context
Basic M2000 configurations are completed by using the M2000 client to add AAA NEs to the
M2000.
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the M2000 client.
Enter the user name, password, and IP address of the M2000 server, as shown in Figure 1-2.
Step 3 Select Physical Root from the Current View drop-down list box, as shown in Figure 1-4.
2. On the Create Topo Object page, click AAA under Core Network Series in the navigation
tree, and set AAA-related parameters, as shown in Figure 1-6.
Port Port number used by the Enter a value in the text box.
AAA to communicate with The value is an integer ranging from 5000
the M2000. to 32765.
This parameter value must be consistent
with the value of [AGENT]PORT in the
$HOME/cfg/snmp.cfg file in the AAA.
Set this parameter based on the site
requirements, for example, 1888.
3. Click OK.

Alarm Overview
The alarm information is classified into the following types:
l Event alarm
An event alarm is caused by an event that happens accidentally during the running of the
device. The alarm state is instant, which means that the device is in the alarm state only at
the current time. Certain event alarms are sent in real time. The event alarms need not be
recovered.
l Fault alarm
A fault alarm is an alarm caused by faults in the device or exceptions in the important
functions of the device. The fault alarms should be recovered. When a fault occurs, the NE
system transmits a fault alarm.
The fault alarm is classified into two types: current fault alarm and history fault alarm.
After generating the alarm information, the HUAWEI AAA actively transmits the alarm t. The
EMS receives, displays, shields, dumps, records statistics, and analyzes the alarm. For details
about the alarm management operations, refer to the manuals of the EMS.
NOTICE
After modifying the configuration file, you need to restart the monitoring server in csh mode to
validate new settings. To restart the monitoring server, run the following commands:
csh
~/AAATools/warn/bin/stop_monitor
~/AAATools/warn/bin/start_monitor
Statistics Overview
The information such as the number of alarms and the number of messages is collected in real
time according to the NE name and alarm level. The results are displayed in a table.
The M2000 records statistics about the following messages of the AAA NE:
l Access-Request
l Access-Accept
l Access-Reject
l Accounting-Request
l Accounting-Response
l Proxy Access-Request
l Proxy Access-Accept
l Proxy Access-Reject
l Proxy Accounting-Request
l Proxy Accounting-Response
Symptom
On the AAA server, restart the SMP. Then the AAA server displays xxxxCONNECTxxxx
repeatedly.
Cause
The database is in abnormal state.
Solution
To rectify the fault, do as follows:
1. Start the database and make sure that the database is in online state.
2. Restart the SMP and make sure that the commmain process is started.
3. Restart the monitoring server in csh mode.
----End
Symptom
When the AAA works normally, the M2000 cannot receive the alarm information transmitted
by the AAA.
Cause
The possible causes are as follows:
l In the EMS, the IP address of the AAA is incorrect.
l In the AAA, the EMS information is incorrect.
l On the AAA server, the AAA applications do not work normally.
l On the AAA server, the database does not work normally.
Solution
To identify the fault cause and rectify the fault, do as follows:
l On the EMS client, check whether the IP address of the AAA is correct. For details, see
the configurations on the EMS side.
l On the AAA server, check whether the values of configurations items related t in the
configuration file are correct. For details, see the configurations on the AAA side.
l On the AAA server, check whether the AAA application is started normally. For details,
refer to the HUAWEI AAA Installation Guide - SUN.
l On the AAA server, check whether the database is started normally. For details, refer to
the HUAWEI AAA Installation Guide - SUN.
NOTE
If the fault persists, contact Huawei engineers.

Description
The EMS takes statistics of the authentication performance of the AAA that functions as a local
RADIUS server. The statistics can be used by the EMS in the maintenance of the AAA. The
statistics can also help to analyze the cause of low authentication success rate and to enhance
the control capability of the EMS.
Measurement Object
SCP module of the AAA that functions as a RADIUS authentication server.
Granularity Period
The recommended granularity period is 30 minutes.
Sampling Interval
The sampling interval depends on the measurement index. The sampling interval can be 1, 2, 3,
5, 15, or 30 minutes.

A Performance Terms
Measurement Index
The measurement index defines what to measure.
The measurement index is referred to as measurement entity in Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd
(hereafter referred to as Huawei) Man Machine Language (MML) specification.
The measurement index consists of the name and unit of the measurement index.
Measurement Unit
For managing a large amount of measurement indexes of the system, the measurement types
can be classified into multiple measurement units. Each measurement unit contains multiple
measurement indexes related to one system function.
Measurement Object
The measurement object defines what to measure.
In the performance management, the measurement object refers to the entity or combination of
the physical or logical resource, such as the service key in an intelligent network and office
direction.
Granularity Period
The granularity period refers to the interval between two rounds of performance data collection
by the EMS from the network element (NE).
Sampling Interval
Certain measurement indexes need to be collected at a specified rate within a granularity period.
The time interval between two rounds of collection is referred to as sampling interval.
The sampling interval refers to the interval for collecting the performance data on the internal
NEs. The sampling interval is equal to or less than the granularity period and is the divisor of
the granularity period.
For example, for the measurement of the CPU average usage rate, the granularity period is five
minutes, and the sampling period is one minute, which indicates that the system collects the
CUP usage every one minute. Thus, the average usage rate of the CPU is the average of the five
values of CPU usage in five minutes.
Threshold Alarm
If the alarm threshold is set in the EMS, an alarm is generated when the measurement index
exceeds the threshold.
