Licensing SNMP on Both Broadlinx Boards

SNMP is licensed for a frame type using the hardware Ethernet address
(MAC Address) of the Broadlinx or NR33000 processor. To license SNMP
use the Enter License Key option from the Configuration web page on both
boards with the specific key for each board.

An alternative to licensing both boards is to enable inter-board communi-
cations to save the license key from the active board that has been licensed
to the standby board. To license a newly added standby board either in the
primary or secondary slot type setSnmpCommunicationsEnable and
wait for the SNMP license set message then reboot the board.

When using SNMP on multiple frame systems, the SNMP monitored
Outputs must be on the 1st frame.

The setSnmpCommunicationsEnable command will allow the SNMP
key to be saved from the active board to the inactive board. Inter-board
communications of the license key is verified with the
redundantConfigShow

command.

Follow these steps to save the license key from the primary board:

1.

Start a console or telnet connection to the standby Broadlinx board

2.

Enter setSnmpCommunicationsEnable at the command prompt.
The SNMP license should now be saved to the secondary board.

3.

Enter the redundantConfigShow command at the command prompt
to verify that the communications is active and that the SNMP license
key had been transferred.

4.

Once the key is transferred the board should be rebooted.
