SNMP Agent
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an industry standard way of querying networking devices to obtain sta‐
tuses, updates, alerts and behaviors.
To retrieve SNMP data from the Red Lion device you must have an SNMP manager or Server at the head end. The Red Lion
router will only act as an SNMP client, providing data it is polled for. It will not act as a manager to poll other devices.
The SNMP Agent allows you to query the unit for information via SNMP using what is called a MIB (Management Informa‐
tion Base). Standard MIB‐II queries are supported, as well as a custom RED‐LION‐RAM.MIB. A great deal of useful informa‐
tion about the unit interface, including cellular signal strength, interface status, and more can be queried. When
configuring firewalls to allow SNMP traffic, be sure to allow access to port 161 so that the device may return its results.
This is the industry standard port number for SNMP traffic.
A complete listing of the OIDs found in the RED‐LION‐RAM.MIB can be found in the Appendix at the end of this manual.
