ATM and SNMP
Two of the ATM standards supported by the SunATM software (the User Network
Interface (UNI) and LAN Emulation (LANE) specifications) include definitions of
SNMP-style Management Information Bases (MIBs) relevant to those standards.
These MIBs are referred to as the ATM Forum (ATMF) and LAN Emulation (LANE)
MIBs, respectively.
The ATM SNMP daemon (
atmsnmpd
) handles requests for information in both
MIBs, as well as the system MIBs, from SNMP-based network management systems
(such as the SunNet Manager program), and from
ilmid
, when it is required, for
SNMP requests coming from the switch.
atmsnmpd
can be used as a forwarding agent. If you configure it as a forwarding
agent,
atmsnmpd
will forward SNMP requests for unknown MIBs to the port
specified with the forward option,
-f
. This allows a system to have two SNMP
agents respond to requests received over the SNMP port.
illustrates the
required configuration. To set up this example configuration,
atmsnmpd
must be
started with the parameter
-f 1000
and
other_snmpd
must be started so that it
listens on port 1000.
