Digicast Media Router Serial IP (SIP): CMR-5910 (MG-SIP) & CMR-5920 (MR-SIP) Revision A
Device Management via User Interfaces - CMR-5910 (MG-SIP) MN/MDRTRIPDC.IOM
4.6 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) has not been enabled on this product and
is planned as a future release. However, when enabled, SNMP allows an SNMP Manager
such as OpenView or Castle Rock to be used to remotely manage the MG-SIP in an
automated fashion.
The MG-SIP supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). SNMP version
3 (SNMPv3) will be supported in future releases. Two types of Management Information
Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB.
MIB II is the default MIB used to gather generic information about the unit, such as
system ‘up’ time, packets sent or received on an interface, etc. MIB II is designed for
only read access, not write access. To read and write configuration parameters over
SNMP requires a private MIB. The private MIB allows parameters to be set on the
Web, Terminal, or Telnet interfaces.
The elements Object Identifiers (OIDs) of the MIB will be listed in the appendix of a
future revision of this manual. CEFD has been assigned an SNMP designator by the
IEEE, which will be found in all elements of the MG-SIP’s MIB.
NOTE
The assigned designator for CEFD (enterprise OID) is 1.3.6.4.1.18723.
The MG-SIP support configurable community strings for added security. Note passwords
cannot be remotely queried over SNMP as a security precaution.
For SNMP access from a remote network via the public Internet, a VPN connection to the
MG-SIP will need to be established using third-party VPN client/server access.
The default community string for the public elements is
public
and the private
community string is
private
.
