You are now ready to manage the system. To change the active
node being managed by your management system, return to step 3.
SNMP Interface Specifications
Verilink vendor
number
SNMP helps you to manage your equipment by providing a simple
indexing method. Each piece of information to be managed is
given an index identifier. To participate in the SNMP management,
individual “enterprises” must obtain an enterprise number if the
vendor intends to provide product specific information in a
vendor-specified MIB.
Verilink’s vendor number is 1.3.6.1.4.1.321
Interface
Numbering
Scheme
An interface numbering scheme allows the SNMP management
system to identify, solicit, and view information about a specific
module in a node. To do this, the management system associates a
unique number with each module. This number is called the
SNMP
ifIndex
.
Calculating the
SNMP ifIndex
According to the DS1 MIB documentation, the network interface
should be an odd number. The equipment interface should be an
even number.
The
SNMP ifIndex
number for either is calculated using this
formula:
(shelf number x 10000) + (slot number x 100) + (port number)
The values needed for calculating the
SNMP ifIndex
number are
found in Table 1 below.
