Use SNMP
The
SNMP Agent
resides in XL-HCW224C will handle requests from remote
SNMP Manager
. The XL-
HCW224C SNMP agent supports standard SNMP community-based operations (SNMP V1/V2c) as ‗SET‘,
‗GET‘ and ‗TRAP‘.
You need to specify the correct
Read-Only Community Name
into bridge before any SNMP ‗GET‘ operation can
work. Also set up the
Read/Write Community Name
for SNMP ‗SET‘ operation. ‗SET‘ operation can modify the
setting within XL-HCW224C. While ‗Get‘ is read-only operation used to report the requested SNMP data to SNMP
manager.
You may need the accompanying proprietary
MIB file
for some popular SNMP/MIB manager software to manage
the bridge system. The XL-HCW224C bridge system may also be integrated into your original SNMP management
system by this MIB file. Refer ‗
XL-HCW224C Application Notes
‘ for more SNMP configuration details.
Each SNMP manager will assign the name of the community it belongs to in its ‗GET‘, ‗SET‘ and ‗TRAP‘
operations. The community name could be unique to allow set of SNMP managers to access one SNMP agent, any
operation with mismatched community name will be rejected by agent. For security consideration, you should either
change the factory default community name or disable SNMP function in XL-HCW224C.
The default ‗GET‘ community name of XL-HCW224C is ‗
public
‘, and default ‗SET‘ community name is ‗
private
‘.
For the following example, the two ‗
TRAP Server’
with IP address ‗
192.168.1.100
‘ and ‗
192.168.1.101
‘ will
capture all traps emitted from XL-HCW224C SNMP agent,
