Configuring the SNMP Proxy: SNMP Proxy Configuration Information

SNMP Proxy Configuration Information
At a high level, the following information must be configured for the SNMP proxy
feature:
SNMP NE name and associated host information, points, and events
The address of the SNMP Manager
SNMP Templates
The mapping of incoming SNMP traps to mediation events utilizes a template
mechanism which allows for a common mapping to be shared among multiple
mediation SNMP NEs or multiple instances within the same NE. The templates define
how the proxied device’s SNMP MIB is used by the proxy SNMP NE.
There are two types of mappings: events and points, thus two types of templates that
are user-definable.
Point Template
The point template defines how a stateful item on the proxied device is managed by
Remote RMM-1400. For each state, the following information is configurable:
severity; message; varbind; offline state message and severity; and trap OID. The
varbind and trap OID are used to match incoming traps.
Event Template
Events are simple stateless mappings between an SNMP trap and a mediation event.
Events are not mapped to the Remote RMM-1400 alarm table. An event template
consists, at a minimum, of a trap-oid and a message parameter.
NE Template
The NE template contains device model definitions for a proxied SNMP network
element. This template can then be referenced by other NEs of that model. The
templates can be stored and applied as individual patch configurations for easy
distribution to multiple Remote RMM-1400 units.
Measurement Template
The measurement template describes parameters such as poll OID, trap OID, and
varbind value used to obtain the value for a point on a proxied NE. This template can
then be applied to other proxied NEs.
Using Variables in Templates
Template events and points can contain variables in their OID and varbind values.
The values of the variables are defined when the template is referenced in the event
or point configuration of a mediation SNMP NE.
