Step 3. SNMP Service Method
With Areca series RAID cards, there are 3 service methods to get
SNMP:
ArcHttp, onboard NIC and in-band PCIe + SNMP extension agent.
(1). Service Method-1: using ArcHttp proxy server
Pay attention to these:
• Do not check mark the option: “SNMP Through PCI”.
• Make sure you have the latest driver and ArcHttp, from this URL
http://www.areca.com.tw/support/
• ArcHttp supports sending “traps” only, do not support the “get”
command.
(2). Service Method-2: using onboard NIC.
Pay attention to these:
• Do not check mark the option: “SNMP Through PCI”.
• Do need to fill out the “SNMP Trap Config”.
(3). Service Method-3: using in-band PCIe + SNMP extension
agent.
Pay attention to these:
• Download the SNMP extension agent from Areca URL.
• The agent is to be installed on the system which has the Areca
controller.
• Check Mark the option: “SNMP Through PCI”.
• To use in-band PCIe host bus interface, keep space (or zero) on
all “SNMP Tarp IP Address“ options.
Each RAID controller needs to have its own MIBs file. Areca provide
4 adapters MIBs file for users. User can request it if more control-
lers install on one system.
Note:
1.The MIB compiler may be not installed by default with
SNMP manager.
2. Some SNMP managers have unique rule on the format of
MIB files, you may need to refer the error message to modify
the mib file to be able to met the software requirement.
