Chapter 1: Starting a Management Session

SNMP Management Session
You can also manage the AT-MCF2000 chassis remotely using an Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management program such as
HP Openview. This method, however, does not use the management
interface.
To manage the chassis from a management workstation using an SNMP
management program, you need to load the Management Information
Base (MIB) file, atMCF2000.mib, that was included with the AT-S85 and
AT-S97 software onto the management workstation. (The MIB file is
available from the Allied Telesis web site.)
This requires that you use a MIB compiler to compile the file. A familiarity
with MIB objects is necessary for this type of management. To load the
MIB file onto a management workstation, follow the instructions included
with your MIB compiler. For instructions on how to compile the MIB file
with your SNMP program, refer to your SNMP management
documentation.
To establish a SNMP management session for a unit that is remotely
managed, the chassis must have a management card and an IP address.
Before performing the SNMP management session, note the followings:
ˆ The 10/100Base-TX port on the management card must be connected
to the network.
ˆ The remote management workstation must reach the chassis through
the subnet of the management card.
