AG 5500
Installing the AG 5500 43
Setting the SNMP Parameters (optional)
You can address the AG 5500 using an SNMP client manager (for example, HP OpenView).
SNMP is the standard protocol that regulates network management over the Internet. To do
this, you must set up the SNMP communities and identifiers. For more information about
SNMP, see
“Using an SNMP Manager” on page 59 .
1.
Enter
c
(configuration) at the AG 5500 Menu . The Configuration menu appears.
2. Enter sn (snmp).
3.
Enable the SNMP daemon, as required. The system displays any existing SNMP contact
information and prompts you to enter new information. If this is the first time you have
initialized the SNMP command since removing the AG 5500 from its box, the system has
no information to display (there are no defaults).
4.
Enter the SNMP parameters (communities and identifiers). The SNMP parameters include
your contact information, the get/set communities, and the IP address of the trap recipient.
Your SNMP manager needs this information to enable network management over the
Internet.
5. If you enabled the SNMP daemon, you must reboot the system for your changes to take
effect. In this case, enter
y
(yes) to reboot your AG 5500.
