For more information about configuring the NMS, see the NMS manual.
Verifying the configuration
• After the configuration, an SNMP connection is established between the NMS and the agent. The
NMS can get and configure the values of some parameters on the agent through MIB nodes.
•
Shut down or bring up an idle interface on the agent, and the NMS receives the corresponding
trap.
SNMPv3 configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 272 , the NMS (1.1.1.2/24) uses SNMPv3 to monitor and manage the interface status
of the agent (1.1.1.1/24), and the agent automatically sends traps to report events to the NMS.
The NMS and the agent perform authentication when they set up an SNMP session. The authentication
algorithm is MD5 and the authentication key is authkey . The NMS and the agent also encrypt the SNMP
packets between them by using the DES algorithm and the privacy key prikey .
