SNMP
The Cheetah Matrix Frame Controller contains an SNMP v2c agent, which is also compatible with
SNMP v1 management stations. The agent supports the following standards:
RFC 1903 – SNMPv2 Textual Conventions
RFC 1904 – SNMPv2 Conformance Statements
RFC 1905 – SNMPv2 Protocol Operations
RFC 1906 – SNMPv2 Transport Mappings
RFC 1907 – SNMPv2 SNMP MIB Objects
RFC 1908 – SNMPv1 Coexistence
RFC 2011 – SNMPv2 IP MIB Objects
RFC 2012 – SNMPv2 TCP MIB Objects
RFC 2013 – SNMPv2 UDP MIB Objects
Two enterprise MIBs are used to provide full control of Cheetah Switchers. The first, PESA-
TC.MIB, is a MIB, which defines some textual conventions. The second, PESA-MATRIX.MIB,
contains objects, which allow SNMP-based control and monitoring of one or more Cheetah
Switchers.
Note that the agent within the Matrix Frame Controller implements a subset of the PESA-MATRIX
MIB. The optional Group tables are reserved for implementation within the System Controller.
The agent is capable of managing multiple Cheetah Switchers. This is accomplished in two steps:
a) Connecting the Cheetah Switchers via the RS-422 Aux Frame Port described in this manual.
b) Set the Matrix Frame Controller, which is to communicate with your SNMP management
application to NETPRC Master. Note that if you have redundant Matrix Frame Controllers
in the Switcher, BOTH must be configured as NETPRC Master. Refer to the Ethernet
section described earlier in Appendix A to accomplish this.
c) Set all other Matrix Frame Controllers, which you have connected, to the NETPRC Master
controller to NETPRC Slave.
The agent will then be able to configure and control all of the Cheetah Switchers in the connected
collection.
Once you have configured the Matrix Frame Controller's SNMP agent (as described in Appendix
A), you may issue SNMP commands. The following commands were issued on a PC running
Linux against a pair of small Cheetah Switchers.
