Console Server & RIM Gateway User Manual
Note: Initially only advanced console server models were equipped with an SNMP Service. With V3.0 (and later)
firmware this support was extended to all console servers . Also the MIBS were extended (and renamed for
compliance) with this firmware release.
All console servers can also be configured to send SNMP traps/messages to multiple remote SNMP Network Managers
on defined trigger events. Refer Chapter 7 for configuration details
15.5.1 Retrieving status information using SNMP
Console servers can provide serial and device status information through SNMP. This includes

Serial port status

Active users

Remote Power Control (RPC) and Power Distribution Unit (PDU) status

Environmental Monitoring Device (EMD) status

Signal alert status

Environmental alert status and

UPS alert status
The MIBs in your console server are located in /etc/snmp/mibs. You also can view the current MIBs online at
http://opengear.com/download/snmp/ and they include:
OG-STATUS-MIB This new MIB contains serial and connected device status
information (for snmpstatusd &
snmpalertd )
OG-SMI-MIB Enterprise structure of management information
OGTRAP-MIB SMIv1 traps from old MIBS (as smilin t will not let SMIv1
structures coexist with SMIv2)
15.5.2 Check firewall rules

Select System: Firewall and ensure the SNMP daemon box has been checked for the interface required. This
will allow SNMP requests through the firewall for the specified interface.
