Status Monitoring and Reporting
SNMP Monitoring
The Grass Valley Modular Control and Monitoring System uses the Simple
Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) internet standard for reporting
status information to remote monitoring stations. The SNMP reporting
from the 8900NET module provides status reports (traps) for various frame
and module faults and warnings as described in
Table 4 on page 33 .
Status reports (traps) are unsolicited reports sent from the SNMP Agent to
one or more SNMP Managers such as Grass Valley’s NetCentral. Once an
SNMP agent has been installed, the Gecko frame and each module slot can
be configured to enable or disable these reports through the Frame SNMP
Reporting web page (see
LED Reporting Web Page on page 48 ).
Note Two of the DIP switches described in Table 2 on page 21 must be enabled for
corresponding SNMP reporting of the system components (S1 segment 5
and S2 segment 1).
SNMP Trap severity can be one of three degrees:
• Warning – a limitation in the module’s intended performance,
• Alarm – a failure in communication with the module, or
• Informational – a configuration change such as a switch setting.
The enabled SNMP traps will be reported to any SNMP manager that is
identified as an SNMP Report Destination in 8900NET configuration (see
8900NET Module Configuration Web Page on page 57 . Trap severity is
read-only hard-coded information that is interpreted and responded to by
the SNMP Manager software configuration.
The SNMP traps available on the Gecko frames and modules are outlined
in
Table 4 on page 33 . The SNMP trap reports available and their severity
are configured on the Gecko Frame SNMP Reporting web page for all
media modules, the 8900NET module, Power Supply 1 and 2, the Frame
Bus Status, and Module Health status (8900TFN Video and GeckoFlex
frames only).
