SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol allows CommandCenter to push SNMP traps (event notifications)
to an existing SNMP manager on the network. Only a CommandCenter Administrator trained in handling
an SNMP infrastructure should configure CommandCenter to work with SNMP.
Setting up for SNMP
Because CommandCenter pushes its own set of Raritan traps, you must update all SNMP managers with a
custom MIB file that contains Raritan trap definitions. This custom MIB file can be found on the CD
included with your CommandCenter unit.
Configuring SNMP in CommandCenter
1. On the Setup menu, click Configuration Manager. When the Configuration Manager screen
appears, click on the SNMP tab.
Figure 130 Configuration Settings Device Settings Screen
2. Check the box marked Enable SNMP to enable the SNMP feature of CommandCenter.
3. Click on the radio button before SNMP V1 or SNMP V2 , depending on which protocol your SNMP
managers use.
4. The Read-Only Community and Read-Write Community will populate automatically depending on
your SNMP V1 or V2 selection.
5. Check the box(es) before the trap(s) you want CommandCenter to push to your SNMP managers:
Under
Trap Sources , there is a list of SNMP traps grouped into two different categories: System Log
traps, which include notifications for the status of the CC unit itself, such as a hard disk failure, and
Application Log traps for notifications generated by events in the CC application, such as
modifications to a user account. To enable traps by type, check the boxes marked System Log and
Application Log. Individual traps can be enabled or disabled by checking their corresponding
checkboxes Use Select All and Clear All to enable all traps or clear all checkboxes.
6. Type the Host IP address and Port number used by SNMP managers in the Trap Destination panel.
