Overview
Overview
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enables network operations centers (NOCs) to monitor
and manage network elements across an internetwork. The Access Navigator supports SNMP through its
Ethernet port (see Figure C-1), which provides access to the carrier’s TCP/IP management network.

The Access Navigator SNMP Agent is based on the SNMPv1 standard. It implements the following two
industry standard specifications for the TCP/IP and DS1 interfaces, plus an Enterprise MIB developed for
managing CA’s Access Bank II products:
l RFC 1213 – Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets:
MIB-II
l
RFC 1406 – Definitions of Managed Objects for the DS1 and E1 Interface Types
The Access Navigator supports all mandatory objects defined in RFC 1213 for the TCP/IP network
interface.
The Access Navigator supports the DS1 mandatory objects in RFC 1406 Near End Configuration Group,
including the Near End Current, Interval, and Total objects. The Far End Object Group is optional and is
