SNMP Support
Simple Network Management Protocol is an application layer protocol that performs
network management operations over an Ethernet connection using a User Datagram
Protocol (UDP/IP).
The Simple Network Management Protocol allows:
■
Libraries to inform the systems administrator of potential problems.
■
Systems administrators to query the library for configuration, operation, and
statistical information.
The SL500 libraries support:
■
SNMPv2c: read-only support primarily for machine status queries. With this version,
any information transmitted is not secure.
■
SNMPv3: both read and write support; transmitted information is secure.
SNMP configuration requirements include:
■
SL500 library firmware must be version 1067 or higher.
■
SL Console software must be version FRS_2.95 or higher.
Trap Levels
SNMP traps provide data that are a source of log entries, containing:
■
Severity (indications such as error or warning)
■
Result codes (such as “0000 = success,” or “5010 = robotic posn error”)
■
Activity string (such as “HLI move” or “CLI version print”)
■
A descriptive text string
■
Date and time
■
Other information might include:
■
Device address associated with the event
■
User name associated with the activity (such as “HLI host,” “advsrv”)
■
The interface-specific request identifier (such as “HLI000001”)
Trap levels are generally filtered to include only those traps that you wish to monitor.
These levels are specified when entering the trap information.
