6.1.11. SNMP Agent
SNMP configuration
The equipment supports multiple destination addresses for notifications. However, only the Main
Manager has the authority to acknowledge notifications. With “INFORM” type messages, automatic
answers from secondary managers are ignored by the unit.
The user can download the MIB. Simply click on the button to save the .mib file locally or on the
network. In the MIB, you will find specific and unique tables such as the ScriptEasy alarm table, the
Notifications pending acknowledgement table and the I/O table.
SNMP Traps configuration
SNMP Notification Type / Trap Community / System Description: trap settings
Life Sign Trap / Minutes between Life Signs: sends life signs every X minutes.
Trap sending test:
sends a ‘Warm start’ trap to the destination(s) according to the trap settings.
6.1.11.1.1
Supported SNMP versions
The Unit SNMP agent is compatible wiht SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c versions. GET and SET commands
are supported, as well as GETBULK in SNMPv2c. Notifications can be transmitted in TRAP V1 or V2c
form or with an INFORM V2c type.
6.1.11.1.2
Notification mode
To make sure traps reach their target via the protocol, the GOLDENEAGLE TV offers 2 methods; with
both methods, traps are sent until acknowledgment is received by the manager.
Automatic acknowledgement
for sending with INFORM. These notifications are only available
with the version 2c of the protocol. This protocol checks that the manager responds to the
notification sent by the SNMP transmitter. This process is simple and reliable, no specific
configuration is required for the manager.
Manual
acknowledgement
for
Traps
V1
and
Traps
V2c.
A
specific
OID
(“alarmPendingAlarmsalarmAck”) is extracted and its variables are sent with the trap. The
manager must then execute a SET command. This method is more complex but is the only one
that can work with the version 1 of the protocol.
