CMR-5950 Digicast Media Router Inline Scrambler (IS) Revision A
Device Management via User Interfaces MN/INLNSCRDC.IOM
This code modification process can also be conducted via the Web Interface, under the
Administration page, or the Terminal Interface under the Main Menu.
4.6 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) (Future)
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 IS in an automated
fashion.
The IS supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). Two types of
Management Information Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB.
MIB II is the default MIB that is 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 IS’s private MIB allows parameters to be set on the
Web, Terminal, or Telnet interfaces.
Under heavy traffic conditions, the TFTP transfer may take several
minutes. The transfer process reported by Solarwinds may show greater
than 100% transferred, but this is a normal condition. Be patient and
allow the transfer to take place.
IMPORTANT
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 IS’s MIB.
T
The assigned designator for CEFD (enterprise OID) is 1.3.6.4.1.18723.
NOTE
The IS supports configurable community strings for added security. As a security
precaution, passwords cannot be remotely queried over SNMP.
For SNMP access from a remote network via the public Internet, a VPN connection to the
IS 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 .”
