Setting the date, time, time zone and time server of a network element in a network is essential to
track the time at which various activities were carried out (mainly alarms) in the network element.
Based on the configured time and date set, TL1 interface displays the GMT. Modifying the date
and time does not affect any of the previously raised alarms. However, all the new alarms are
stamped with the new date and time. Similarly, the event history does not change even after the
date and time change reflects the change. You can change the network element time settings by
editing values in the web user interface. For changes to take place in the operating system and
logs, a service non-disruptive reset has to be applied.

Setting Time Server for the Network Element

Set Time Server menu enables you to set a server or network element as master clock source in
order to apply a uniform clock cycle in the network. All the network elements connected to the
same server in a network function synchronously. The network element periodically synchronizes
itself with the server to avoid an asynchronous state.
In case a network element has to be synchronized with a NTP server for date and time, the NTP
server address and synchronization interval for the network element should be set. Usually, the
NMS server is nominated as the NTP server.
To set the network time server,
1. Click System Time> Set time server in the Navigation menu. The Set Time Server pane is
displayed.

Performing Forced Switch Over

A forced switchover is needed when the secondary or the slave circuit pack needs to become the
primary or master circuit pack. A forced sync command should be issued before forced
switchover so that the secondary circuit pack is synchronized to the primary, before it can assume
the primary role.
NOTE: Forced switchover from WUI only, in case of slave ready for switchover option is
Yes. When a secondary cross-connect circuit pack is jacked-in, the “Equipment” status for the
circuit pack is changed to ‘Present’ and “Operational Status” is changed to ‘UP’ only after a
few minutes (time is taken for the software in the secondary circuit pack to come up).
After a redundant cross-connect circuit pack is jacked in, wait for the Operational status and
Equipment to “UP” and “Present” in the Node inventory page before performing forced
switchover.

the span between the network element at which the command is initiated and the
adjacent network element to which the command is destined.
Manual Switch – Performs the ring switch from the working channels to the protection channels
Ring for the span between the network element at which the command is initiated and
the adjacent network element to which the command is destined. This occurs if
the protection channels are not in a signal degrade or signal fail condition and are
not satisfying an equal or higher priority bridge request.
Exercise – Ring Exercises ring protection switching of the requested channel without completing
the actual bridge and switch. The command is issued and the responses are
checked, but no working traffic is affected.

Configuring SNMP Traps

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of protocols for managing complex
networks. SNMP is an application-layer protocol that allows network devices to exchange
management information. SNMP trap is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP trap
operation to send information to a network manager. Traps are sent when errors or specific
events occur on the network.
SNMP allows network administrator to find and interpret network problems and plan network
growth. The TejNES SNMP is designed to provide asynchronous event notification to a
Network Management System (NMS).
To configure SNMP traps,

element. The Neighbor information provides the name of the physical device, address, router ID
and the status of the neighboring network elements. Auto-discovery is enabled on a port of the
network element and discovers the next hop neighbors. This feature eliminates the need to
manually create trunks on the nodes.

View Static Routes

Static route is an entry in network element routing table that specifies how to reach an IP address
through a particular gateway (network element or Interface). Static routes are used to provide
static connectivity between routers, meaning the routes do not change automatically unlike
routing protocols. A static route allows the user to access a network element in any network. The
user can do this by adding a destination network IP address and the IP address of next hop
network element. Thus, a user can establish a link.
To view provisioned static routes, click Configuration > DCN > Static route. The Static routes

Managing Proxy ARP Neighbour

The Proxy ARP allows a gateway network element to respond to Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) requests for sub tending network elements that are within the same subnetwork as the
customer DCN address range. The proxy ARP feature removes the need for customers to
provision static routes on their routers and routing protocols (OSPF) between the gateway
network elements and the customer DCN.
NOTE: The user has to manually add all the IP addresses of the network elements for which
the Tejas network element has to respond. The Tejas network element sends a proxy ARP
response for all ARP requests that contain the IP address of an added network element
(regardless of whether that IP address is reachable or not from the Tejas network element).
The network element software supports viewing and adding of proxy ARP neighbors.
Using Proxy ARP Neighbours menu, you can

View Serial Port Information

Serial port enables serial communication between two network elements. Once properly
configured, the serial port can send and receive data. The network element utilizes the serial port
as:
 User Data Channel (UDC)
 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), or
 Terminal Server network.
For UDC application, overhead byte F1 is used for data communication purpose. Serial
communication requires that you specify the transmission baud rate and application. PPP is used
for modem application. The modem facility provides a serial point-to-point connectivity using
PPP protocol and is terminated on IP. Terminal server helps in connecting to a remote node
using telnet in the absence of DiagUser provision in the network element.

Configuration management
The user interface provides options for configuration backup and storing it on a selected server.
The easiest way to save network element configuration is to use back up configuration. In back
up configuration, the existing snapshot of the configuration is copied and stored to the server
mentioned using the FTP protocol. In case of backup config failure- 'Database Save Failed” alarm
is raised. In this process, NE obtains the configuration using the FTP protocol from a remote
server, checks and accepts the configuration if applicable to the network element. In case of
failure, a restore failure alarm is raised.
You can restore the configuration by restoring from remote machine via FTP or from the local
machine using HTTP. The network element gives an error message for the cause of the failure.
The cause of the failure may be one of the following:
 Username, password authentication failure
 Unable to reach the server IP address
 Incorrect permissions to transfer file
The network element can recover from restoration operation failures due to network
unavailability by using FTP timeout of 15 seconds.
The network element verifies the validity of the restored configuration. The activation of restored
configuration shall be non-service affecting for the unaffected configuration. If the verification
fails, the restored configuration is rejected and configuration restore failure alarm is raised.
The network element raises an alarm on detecting configuration corruption or version mismatch
without affecting traffic.

Upgrade Operations
Users with ADMIN privileges can download software and firmware from either the local
machine using HTTP or a remote machine using FTP with all the upgrade binaries available on
the FTP server. The process of downloading and activating software does not affect services.
During the software download operation, existing functionality of the network element remains
unaffected, unless otherwise stated in the release notes.
A firmware upgrade involves the upgrade of boot loader, root file system, and operating system.
The firmware bundle is checked for checksum and the version. Firmware download is non-
service affecting and requires a warm restart to take effect.
The five steps involved in the unified upgrade operations are:

 Software download: Downloads the software from remote or local machine onto the network
element. The upgrade bundle present in the remote server is usually in the form of a tar kit
containing a catalogue, the software, and firmware. If the upgrade bundle does not contain
the software and firmware, the software and firmware needs to be upgraded separately. When
upgrading from a local machine, the software and firmware is usually upgraded separately.
 Check upgrade: Checks the downloaded software files for corruption. Also checks if the
downloaded software file is the correct one required for upgrade.
 Load upgrade: Loads the downloaded content into the proper directory on the network
element.
 Invoke upgrade: Invokes the new software on the network element. The node goes for a
warm reboot. After invoking, the new software and firmware comes into effect and the
network element is upgraded.
 Commit upgrade: On committing upgrade, the user cannot revert to the previous software.
NOTE: Only software image files (with extension .img) can be downloaded using HTTP,
where as firmware files, and software load can be downloaded using FTP.
