SNMP Support

The Magnia SG30 contains an SNMP management agent that
is capable of sending standard SNMP v.2 alerts, and
responding to SNMP agent queries with information about
the current state of the server. The Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote network
management consoles (NMC) to query and set configuration
values on a hardware device. This enables network
management staff to control and monitor many network
devices from a single location. This feature is intended for
use in large scale, managed network environments.

SNMP Agent Services

The version of SNMP supported is SNMP v.2c.
The Magnia SG30 server appliance has an SNMP Agent that
will respond to configuration information queries. The
SNMP Agent on the server appliance only supports “Get”
requests from the NMC. “Set” requests are not supported. In
other words, you can query device settings but not change
them through SNMP. To change settings on the Server
Appliance, the device’s Administration Website should be
used.

SNMP can also alert the NMC when a system problem or
specific system state is encountered. This is accomplished
through the use of SNMP traps. The SNMP agent will send a
message to the NMC when specific criteria are met.

The triggering of SNMP agent traps on the server appliance is
tied in to the server’s health monitoring feature. Most of the
