SNMP
section will describe how to install and configure the SNMP Agent. Refer to the specific NMS
documentation for its installation instructions.
SNMP must be configured through CFGEDIT. Before configuring the SNMP Agent, you must have
the following information:
•
the Community Name(s) used in SNMP request messages generated by the NMS;
• the IP address of the NMS; and
• the Community Name to be used in Trap messages received by the NMS.
To properly configure the SNMP Agent on the CyberSWITCH, perform the following steps:
•
enable and configure IP
• enable SNMP
• configure community name information
• configure SNMP trap information (if desired)
• change MIB-2 system group objects (if desired)
For the NMS, follow its specific installation instructions. Note that the NMS you are using must also
have the latest enterprise MIB (the
ih_mib.asn file) compiled on its system.
If you are using Cabletron’s SPECTRUM® Element Manager™ as NMS, this enterprise MIB is
already built into the NMS software.
If you are using a non-Cabletron product for NMS, you must perform the following:
•
copy the MIB file ih_mib.asn onto the NMS
• compile the new MIB
• set up NMS to monitor the CyberSWITCH
Refer to Configuring SNMP for background information on SNMP and details on configuring the
SNMP feature.
U SAGE I NSTRUCTIONS
Normally you will have a GUI NMS (graphical user interface) that will display a picture of the
network. You will then select the desired CyberSWITCH and display the desired MIB information.
As an example, the information displayed in the
dr command would be located in the MIB
structure under:
[private]
[enterprises]
[networkExpress]
[ih000]
[ih000StatusReports]
[ihStatusReportTable]
