To manage the stack with an SNMP network manager from another
vendor, you need to use the appropriate MIB file. The concise SNMP
MIB file for the SuperStack II Hub 10 Series is available free on the
Ask3Com bulletin board (see Appendix B ).
Refer to the manual accompanying your chosen network manager for
details of how to proceed. If you wish to set up SNMP traps, in some
cases you may have to configure the Module l ocally.
3 Com network managers such as Transcend WorkGroup Manager for
Windows can automatically configure the Module t o send traps to
them.
To set up SNMP communications, you first need to connect to the
Module u sing serial port access and enter the IP configuration of the
stack. Use the VT100 interface to set up parameters including trap
addresses. Perform the following steps:
1 Connect a VT100 terminal or emulator to the serial port and logon
using the VT100 interface. Refer to “Getting Started” on page 3-6 for
details of how to do this.
2 Display the Setup screen (see “Setup” on page 3-10). If using IP, enter
the Device IP Address and Device SubNet Mask of the stack, and the
Default Router address if necessary, or use the BootP facility (see “Using
Telnet” on page 2-10 ). If using IPX, the stack will have an address
automatically allocated.
3 Display the Trap Setup screen (see “Trap Setup” on page 3-13). Enter
the IP or IPX address of each network manager that you want to
receive traps.
4 Logoff from the VT100 interface.
5 Reset the Module ( see “Reset” on page 3-48) to bring the IP parameters
into operation.
You can now start a management session from the SNMP workstation.
