3.3 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:
