Configuring SNMP
Values
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard that is
defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). SNMP information
is encapsulated in a UDP and IP packet, which in turn, is encapsulated in
an appropriate protocol-specific frame.
This section describes the configurable options on the Management
Module (EME) that relate to SNMP management.
The Administration Consoles of individual switching modules also offer
SNMP commands that you may need to configure.
Interaction Between
the EME and SNMP
The EME interacts with SNMP to:
■
Respond to SNMP requests.
■
Generate SNMP traps.
■
Act as an agent in an SNMP-managed environment, enabling you to
configure your EME.
If you plan to manage your chassis using an SNMP workstation, you must
enable the 10BASE-T front panel Ethernet port and set the following
attributes for the EME:
■
IP connectivity
■
Subnet mask
■
IP address
■
Default gateway
■
Community table
■
Alerts (optional)
■
Trap receive
Setting Up IP
Connectivity
Assigning an IP Address to the EME
Use the
set ip ip_address
command to assign a unique IP address to
the EME.
Example:
CB9000> set ip ip_address 195.36.58.27 ethernet_port
