11. SNMP Functionality
Network SNMP Monitoring
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), used by most Network Operations Centers (NOC), is
a protocol that allows the NOC to retrieve parameters, set parameters, and receive Alert Notifications
from Ethernet connected appliances though a common interface and language. Each network
appliance feature, that can be read or written to, will have a numeric string assigned to it. For
example, system description (sysDesc) is .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0.
For Network SNMP functionality, consult your network administrator for SNMP setup and
configuration parameters and how the BTRM should be configured for your specific SNMP
requirements and trap receivers.
SNMP Monitoring through a MIB Browser
In order to accept SNMP messages being sent from the BTRM you will need to have an SNMP
monitoring system in your network or a MIB browser loaded onto your laptop.
A MIB browser can be used to capture SNMP traps in place of a network SNMP trap receiver. The
MIB Browser can be loaded onto a PC or Laptop for monitoring of BTRM SNMP Traps. The MIB
browser will need to be on the same network as the BTRM in order to receive the messages.
SNMP network access can be had from interfaces as simple as a command line interface available in
Windows, Linux, and other operating systems, or using a dedicated software browser like the one
shown below from iReasoning, available at www.iReasoning.com, to larger packages such as HP
Openview designed to support and manage larger networks.
IMPORTANT:
Once the MIB Browser is loaded you will need to load the BTRM MIB file. You
can download the BTRM MIB file from the BTRM via the SNMP MIB file page on your web
browser.
