7600 Card Management

Transcend Enterprise Manager (SNMP Manager)
Access to the SNMP agent is in-band via any of the Ethernet segments or
ATM port of remote stations. Management of all remote 7600 units is
supported by the SNMP agent, regardless of virtual LAN membership.
Since the 7600 Card is standards-based, other SNMP-based applications,
such as SunNet Manager or HP OpenView can be used.
The SNMP agent is accessed through any of the 100-BaseT Ethernet
ports. It is an in-band connection over IP/Ethernet protocols.
Once the 7600 Card’s IP parameters are set, any SNMP-based network
manager can manage the unit, provided the Management Information
Base (MIB) is installed correctly at the management station.
SNMP Agents
The SNMP agent of the 7600 Card responds to SNMP requests from an
external SNMP manager. Each 7600 Card has one SNMP agent which
monitors objects on the system and reports data to the Administration
Console or a network management system. It acts as an Access Unit
(device) agent for managing generic device objects and configuration,
and as a proxy for all bridge agents (per VN in a device) for managing
bridge-VN specific objects and configuration.
Figure 14-4 shows a 7600 Card being accessed through an SNMP
manager, such as Transcend Enterprise Manager.
