8.2 Ethernet Management Interface Protocols
The user PC facilitates access to Ethernet-based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the
CRS-500 through three separately operated protocols:
• SNMP with MIB file
• Telnet interface for remote product M&C
• Web Server (HTTP) Interface for complete product management
8.3 SNMP Interface
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for
managing devices on IP networks. An SNMP-managed network consists of three key
components:
• The managed device. This includes the CRS-500 1:N Redundancy System.
• The SNMP Agent. The software that runs on the CRS-500. The CRS-500 SNMP Agent
supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
• The user-supplied Network Management System (NMS). The software that runs on the
manager.
8.3.1 Management Information Base (MIB) Files
MIB files are used for SNMP remote management of a unique device. A MIB file consists of a
tree of nodes called Object Identifiers (OIDs). Each OID provides remote management of a
particular function. These MIB files should be compiled in a user-supplied MIB Browser or SNMP
Network Monitoring System server. The following MIB files are associated with operation of the
CRS-500:
