Monitoring Your Device with an SNMP Management Tool
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides information about the state of the px4-400d
Network Storageto various administrative computers, known as managers. When the SNMP protocol is
enabled on a device, SNMP agent software on the device reports information to the managers, and an
administrator user can perform some configuration of the px4-400d through the manager. Information that
comes from the px4-400d is called a trap. Managers and the px4-400d must be running on the same
network.
SNMP should be disabled unless you are specifically providing information to a management system that
requires this information.

SNMP MIB File for the px4-400d
The management information base (MIB) file is a database of various device object types, which a
manager can change. Examples of MIB objects are:
deviceName — the name of the px4-400d network storage device
diskName — the name of drives on the px4-400d network storage device
conTable — a table for the connected client count
raidStatus — a description of the RAID status. Values are Normal, Rebuilding, Degraded, RebuildFS,
and Faulted.
The MIB file is available for downloading by entering the following URL in your browser:
