Enabling the SNMP Agent
The SNMP agent responds to outside SNMP requests, usually from an SNMP management station. To configure the
SNMP agent, follow these steps from the Equalizer Administration Interface in Edit mode.
1. Log into the Equalizer Administration Interface (see “Logging In” on page 52).
2. Select
Equalizer > Monitoring > SNMP
:
Figure 41 The SNMP settings screen.
3. Enter values for the
system description
,
system location
,
system contact
, and
system name
. Description is
the user-assigned description of the Equalizer. Location describes its physical location. Contact is the name of
the person responsible for this unit. Name is the administrative name for the Equalizer.
4. Enter a value for the
community string
. Any SNMP management console needs to send the correct community
string along with all SNMP requests. If the sent community string is not correct, Equalizer discards the request
and will not respond.
5. Enter an address and port in
trap IP address:port
. This specifies the IP address and port to which trap messages
should be sent. Usually this is the IP address of the machine running the SNMP management station
application. The port number used by default is 162, which is the default port used by SNMP management
stations; it must match the port on which the SNMP management station is listening for traps.
