SNMP Support
OnSSI RC-E supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), a standard protocol for monitoring and
controlling network devices, for managing their configuration, or collecting statistics, etc.
OnSSI RC-E will act as an SNMP agent, which can generate an SNMP trap as a result of a triggered rule. A third
party SNMP management console can then receive information about the rule-triggering event, and operators of the
SNMP management console can configure their system for further action as required.
The implementation uses Microsoft Windows SNMP Service for triggering SNMP traps. The SNMP Service must
therefore be installed on recording servers. This will—when the SNMP Service has been configured through its own
user interface—enable recording servers to send .mib (Management Information Base) files to the SNMP
management console.
