Management
SNMP
Overview
If you are using SNMP to manage/configure the IOLAN, or to view statistics or traps, you must set
up a User in SNMP version 3 or a Community in SNMP version 1,2 to allow your SNMP manager to
connect to the IOLAN; this can be done in the DeviceManager, WebManager, CLI, or Menu. You
must then load the
perle-ds.MIB (found on the CD-ROM packaged with the IOLAN) file into your
SNMP manager before you connect to the IOLAN.
