SSPA Ethernet Management Interface Protocols

As accessed by the LPODnet, the SSPA’s 100BaseT/10BaseTx Ethernet Management Interface

supports three separately-operated management protocols:

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This requires a user-supplied Network

Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base (MIB)

File Browser.

Telnet Interface. This requires use of the user PC’s Command-line interface, or a user-

supplied terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal.

SSPA Web Server (HTTP) Interface. This requires a compatible user-supplied web

browser such as Internet Explorer.

3.4

SSPA 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 SSPA.

The SNMP Agent. The software that runs on the SSPA. The SSPA SNMP Agent supports

both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.

The user-supplied Network Management System (NMS). The software that runs on the

manager.

3.4.1 SSPA Management Information Base (MIB) Files

An MIB file is used for SNMP remote management of a unique device, and consist of a tree of

nodes called Object Identifiers (OIDs). Each OID provides remote management of a particular

function. You should compile these MIB files in a user-supplied MIB Browser or SNMP Network

Monitoring System server.

The following MIB files are associated with the SSPA:
