Setup Tool The Setup Tool is a menu-driven tool for the configuration and administration of
X4000 . Configuration with the Setup Tool is much easier and clearer than
configuration with SNMP commands, although not all settings can be made with
the Setup Tool. Besides the Configuration Wizard, this manual mainly explains
how to configure with the Setup Tool. The Setup Tool is independent of the
operating system of your PC. If a configuration step is only possible in isolated
cases with the help of an SNMP command, the procedure for this is also
explained.
SNMP
➤➤
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a
➤➤
protocol that
defines how you can access the configuration settings. All configuration settings
are stored in the
➤➤
MIB (Management Information Base) in the form of MIB
tables and MIB variables. You can access these directly via the SNMP shell.
Configuration
Manager and
other SNMP managers
The Configuration Manager is a Windows-based SNMP manager provided by
BinTec Communications AG. You can use its interface based on Windows
Explorer to access all MIB tables and variables of X4000 . You can also use
other SNMP managers, such as SNM, HP Open View or Transview, to access
and modify the MIB tables and variables. However, more detailed knowledge of
the structure and interrelations of the tables and subsystems of X4000 would be
a prerequisite for handling SNMP shell commands and SNMP managers; this
method is therefore suitable for experienced users. Handling MIB tables and
MIB variables is not described in this manual. You can find this information in
the Software Reference and MIB Reference .
4.3.2 Using the Setup Tool
You can call up the Setup Tool once you have logged in to X4000 :
➤
Type
setup
after the input prompt and press Return.
The main menu of the Setup Tool appears.
