Introduction
This chapter provides specific information for configuring and using the
SNMP agent within the FSM.
The FSM incorporates an Ethernet card that provides connectivity for LAN-
based management stations. The embedded TCP/IP Protocol Stack allows
remote access from both private networks and the Internet.
SNMP Configuration Parameters
To access the SNMP agent, you must have an SNMP management
application, such as HP’s OpenView
â
or Sun’s NetManager
ä
. Access to the
agent is controlled by three community strings: read-access, write-access, and
trap-access (the community string sent with an SNMP trap). Configuration of
these community strings within the FSM is accomplished via the HTTP (web
browser) interface. Please refer to Chapter 3, Web Server Interface, for
instructions on how this is performed.
The defaults for these strings are “public” for read-access, “private” for write-
access, and “public” for trap-access. Ensure that your SNMP management
application is configured for whatever access strings you use.
SNMP MIBs
The FrameStart FSM supports the following industry-standard MIB
(management information base) files:
• rfc1907.mib
−
SNMPv2 entities (initial revision published as RFC 1450)
• rfc1573.mib
−
defines the IANAifType textual convention, and thus the
enumerated values of the ifType object defined in MIB-II’s
