Appendix A. MIB User Guide
A.1. SNMP overview
This section applies to the CM5000 version 3.5.2.0 (build 31.3.3.0). It is a guide for interfacing the CM5000 via a
NMS, or through simple SNMP commands. The MIB of the CM5000 can be used to control, configure, and monitor
the unit. Everything that can be done through the web GUI can also be done through SNMP.
Note
All the examples provided in this section are using command-line applications snmpget and snmpset,
part of the Open Source Net-SNMP software package which is available for all major Operating Sys-
tems. Graphical MIB browser software can also be used alternatively. This guide is not intended to cover
the usage of these software that are only used to illustrate our MIB implementation. For more details
about these software, please refer to their respective documentations. In all examples here below the
keyword "$HOST" represents the IP address of the CM5000 interface through which SNMP commands
are performed. To reproduce the example, one shall replace this keyword by the effective IP address
of the CM5000 to be controlled.
Note
All the MIB variables are commented in the MIB itself.
Ethernet interface
All the Ethernet interfaces of the CM5000 can be used to drive the unit through SNMP. Nevertheless, it is highly
recommended to use the "Management" interface as using Stream1/2 may interfere with the decoding process.
Protocol
SNMP version V2.C is supported.
Requests
The CM5000 listens to incoming SNMP requests on the standard SNMP port 161 (not configurable). GET, GET-
NEXT, GET-BULK and SET requests are supported.
Traps
Traps can be sent to notify transitions between variable states, such as alarms. Traps can be sent simultaneously to
up to 4 targets, on a user-specified port (although standard SNMP port 162 is recommended). All enabled traps are
sent to all targets: enabled traps are configurable at the system level, not on a per-target basis.
