Chapter 18 Annex Manager and SNMP
18-4 CSMIM/Micro-CS Management Application Guide
Defining Parameters
You must define the
disabled_modules
and
allow_snmp_sets
parameters on the
Annex before you can use Annex Manager.
Defining the disabled_modules Parameter
The Annex’s
disabled_modules
parameter allows you to turn off certain features
during Annex software initialization (e.g., you can enter
LAT
,
PPP
,
SLIP
to turn
these features off. You can use the
na
or
admin
tools to verify and change
disabled_modules
. If you disabled SNMP, the Annex will discard all SNMP
messages sent to it and Annex Manager will not be able to retrieve any
information using SNMP. By default, the SNMP agent on the Annex is
enabled.
Defining the allow_snmp_sets Parameter
The Annex’s default setting for the
allow_snmp_sets
parameter does not permit
parameter value changes because the set command’s header transmits
the community string in clear text, which may be a security risk. To allow
Annex Manager to modify parameters through SNMP, you must use the
na
or
admin
tools to change
allow_snmp_sets
to
yes
. You cannot set this parameter
using SNMP.
Standard MIB Support
The Annex supports the following standard MIBs:
❑
MIB-II (defined in RFC1213).
❑
Character MIBs (defined in RFCs 1316, (Character MIB), 1317
(RS232-like MIB), and 1318 (Parallel Printer MIB)).
❑
Ethernet MIB (defined in RFC 1398).
❑
RIPv2 MIB (defined in RFC 1389).
❑
AppleTalk MIB (defined in RFC 1243).
Some standard MIB objects are not valid or meaningful
for the Annex. For detailed information, see
Annex
Restrictions on Standard MIBs on page 18-6.
