tree for this lab:
1. From the navigation tree, view alarms against objects. Alarms in circles are aggregated alarms. Alarms
in squares are object alarms.

Note
When an aggregated alarm is indicated, and no object alarm is seen for any child
object, change the view
[Inserted Note]of the equipment tree.
An aggregated alarm may not appear in the selected view from the navigation
tree. For example, with the Equipment drop-down menu selected, a critical
alarm aggregated against the device object may appear. However, no object
below the device object has a critical alarm. That is because the critical alarm is
aggregated from the network view of the router. The alarm is based on the
entire object, but the equipment view shows a subset of the entire object.

Note
When downloading
[Inserted multiple
Note and images to multiple devices, Alcatel-Lucent
Warning]
recommends that the automatic reboot option is disabled, to ensure that the
new software is properly transferred.

Warning
When the 5620 SAM client GUI is used to perform managed device software
upgrades and disable the parameter, there is a risk that the bof.cfg file may be
overwritten in these situations:
• when a user performs ‘bof save’ using CLI on the managed device

4. In order to schedule backups based on a time interval or on the number of NE configurations performed
from the 5620 SAM server, configure the Backup Triggering parameters:

Scheduled Backup Scheme specifies whether a scheduled backup to the managed device database
should occur, and, if so, under what conditions.

Scheduled Backup Interval specifies the time interval between scheduled backups to the database.

Scheduled Backup Sync Time specifies the start time for the first scheduled backup.

Scheduled Backup Threshold (operations) specifies the number of times that a database backup
retry should occur if the backup fails.

Auto Backup Scheme specifies under which conditions a backup to the database should occur.

Auto Backup Threshold (operations) specifies how many save operations occur before a backup is
initiated.

For this example lab exercise:

Select Every Scheduled Interval from the Scheduled Backup Scheme drop-down menu and then set
the Scheduled Backup Interval parameter to 1 hour to specify that backups to the database should
occur once every hour regardless of configuration activity.

It is recommended to set the Scheduled Backup Sync Time to a relatively short time after the
current configuration time.

Unless otherwise indicated by your instructor, the Scheduled Backup Threshold (operations)
parameter could be left to the default value of 0.

Choose Every Nth 5620 SAM Server Initiated Save from the Auto Backup Scheme drop-down menu
and set to 20 the Auto Backup Threshold (operations) to indicate that an auto backup occurs after 20
save operations occur.

5. Configure the Backup Settings parameters:

CLI Config File Mode specifies the backup behavior for the CLI config file.

CLI Config Save Details specifies whether to save additional details about the CLI configuration save
changes (Enabled), or to back up only the basic CLI configuration file, not the detailed file (Disabled -
default).

CLI Debug Save Config File Mode specifies whether to save the debug config files in a backup
operation.

Boot Option File Mode specifies the backup behavior for the boot option file.

File Compression. Specifies the compression format of the backup file if compression is used.

For this example lab exercise:

Select New Version Only from the CLI Config File Mode drop-down menu to specify that the 5620 SAM
backs up the device configuration only when a new version is detected.

Unless otherwise indicated by your instructor, leave the CLI Config Save Details parameter unchecked
(disabled) to specify that SAM backs up only the basic CLI configuration file, and leave the CLI Debug
Save Config File Mode parameter unchecked (disabled) to specify that SAM backs up the debug config
files as part of the backup operation.

Select New Version Only from the Boot Option File Mode drop-down menu to specify that SAM backs
up the BOF only when a new version is detected.

Select ZIP from the File Compression drop-down menu to specify that SAM uses zip file compression
when storing backups.

panel.

Auto-Purge Scheme specifies the method of backup purging used to control the number of device
configuration backups files kept by the 5620 SAM. The purge criteria can be the number of files, the
age of the files, or both.

Number of Backups specifies the maximum number of backup files that are saved in the 5620 SAM
database.

Maximum Backup Age (days) specifies the length of time, in days, that backup files are retained by
the 5620 SAM before they are purged.

For this example lab exercise:

Select By Age But Retain A Minimum Number Of Backups from the Auto-Purge Scheme drop-down
menu.

Enter 25 in the Number of Backups parameter to specify that SAM retains at most 25 backup versions.

Enter 15 in the Maximum Backup Age (days) parameter to specify that SAM keeps a back up files for
15 days before deleting it.

3. On the NE MIB Statistics Policy (Create) form, configure the parameters:

Auto-Assign ID specifies whether the 5620 SAM automatically assigns a unique ID to the created
object. This parameter is enabled by default.

Policy ID specifies a unique ID number for the policy. The range is 1 to 65 535. To manually assign a
Policy ID number the operator must disable the Auto-Assign ID parameter.

Displayed Name specifies a unique name for the created policy object. The range is 0 to 80
characters.

Polling Synchronization Time specifies the polling synchronization start time from which the polling
intervals are calculated in hh:mm format based on a 24-hour clock. When the server restarts, the next
appropriate collection interval is calculated and polling restarts. By default, this parameter is
populated with the server time when the window was opened, it may be modified as required.

Polling Admin State specifies whether the polling of managed devices is enabled (up). The options
are:
 Up (default)
 Down
