Page: 141 / 204

USING THE M204’S ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: Managing With SNMP 133
If you are using Castle Rock Computing’s SNMPc package, you will need to
rename the MIB variable UInteger32 to another name such as U32.
Writing to the Custom MIB
The following example explains how to use the custom MIB variables to set the
M204’s parameters. For example, to set the M204’s com2 properties to 19200,
cs8, ixon, please follow the steps below:
This example assumes that the snmp password has been defined as custommib,
that the M204’s ipname is spike, and that the SNMP manager is the Tricklets
package.
1 Set up an snmp user with root privileges on the M204. Please see Adding an
SNMP User on page 132 for details.
2 Issue the following configuration commands using the snmp user’s password
as the community string.
echo “m204IfComSpeed[1.4]=19200” | snmp-set spike
custommib
echo “m204IfComCharS[1.4]=8” | snmp-set spike custommib
echo “m204IfComIxon[1.4]=2” | snmp-set spike custommib
Setting the M204 to Send Traps to an SNMP Manager
The M204 continuously generates traps but unless the trap table is filled in, no
SNMP manager will receive this information. To set the M204 to send traps to a
particular SNMP manager, please follow the steps below:
This example assumes that the snmp password has been defined as custommib,
that the M204’s ipname is spike, and that the SNMP manager is the Tricklets
package.
1 Set up a snmp user with root privileges on the M204. Please see Adding an
SNMP User on page 132 for details.
2 Set the following M204 trap variables using your SNMP manager. The actual
syntax of the commands will depend on the particular SNMP manager you are
using.
echo “trapCommunity[1]=\”building-A\”” | snmp-set spike
custmmib
where building-A is the string that you want the M204 to send with the trap
