SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol allows CC-SG to push SNMP traps (event notifications)
to an existing SNMP manager on the network. Only a CC-SG Administrator trained in handling
an SNMP infrastructure should configure CC-SG to work with SNMP.
CC-SG also supports SNMP GET/SET operations with third-party enterprise Management
Solutions, such as HP OpenView. To support the operations, you must provide SNMP agent
identifier information such as these MIB-II System Group objects: sysContact, sysName, and
sysLocation. Refer to RFC 1213 for details. These identifiers provide contact, administrative, and
location information regarding the managed node.
MIB Files
Because CC-SG pushes its own set of Raritan traps, you must update all SNMP managers with a
custom MIB file that contains Raritan SNMP trap definitions
⎯
see
Appendix E: SNMP Traps
.
This custom MIB file can be found on the CD included with your CC-SG unit and also under
Firmware Upgrades
on http://www.raritan.com/support.
