SNMP
Agent
SNMP
(Simple
Network
Management
Protocol)
is
an
industry
standard
way
of
querying
networking
devices
to
obtain
sta
‐
tuses,
updates,
alerts
and
behaviors.
To
retrieve
SNMP
data
from
the
Red
Lion
device
you
must
have
an
SNMP
manager
or
Server
at
the
head
end.
The
Red
Lion
router
will
only
act
as
an
SNMP
client,
providing
data
it
is
polled
for.
It
will
not
act
as
a
manager
to
poll
other
devices.
The
SNMP
Agent
allows
you
to
query
the
unit
for
information
via
SNMP
using
what
is
called
a
MIB
(Management
Informa
‐
tion
Base).
Standard
MIB
‐
II
queries
are
supported,
as
well
as
a
custom
RED_LION
‐
RAM.MIB.
A
great
deal
of
useful
informa
‐
tion
about
the
unit
interface
status
and
more
can
be
queried.
When
configuring
firewalls
to
allow
SNMP
traffic,
be
sure
to
allow
access
to
port
161
so
that
the
device
may
return
its
results.
This
is
the
industry
standard
port
number
for
SNMP
traf
‐
fic.
You
may
obtain
the
RED_LION
‐
RAM.MIB
by
contacting
Red
Lion
support.
A
complete
listing
of
the
OIDs
found
in
the
RED_LION
‐
RAM.MIB
can
be
found
in
the
Appendix
at
the
end
of
this
manual.
