Configuration Methods 35
SNMP
Connecting to an Terminal Server Using SNMP
Before you can connect to an Terminal Server through an SNMP Management tool or MIB browser,
you need to set the following components through another configuration method.
1.
Configure a known IP address on the Terminal Server.
2.
Configure a read-write user for SNMP version 3 or a community for SNMP version 1 or 2 on the
Terminal Server.
3.
Reboot the Terminal Server to make sure the changes take effect.
To connect to an Terminal Server through an SNMP Management tool or MIB browser, do the
following:
1.
Load the
blackbox-ds.MIB
file from the Terminal Server CD-ROM into your SNMP manager.
2.
Verify that the read-write user for SNMP version 3 or a community for SNMP version 1 or 2
match the configuration on the Terminal Server.
3.
Type in the Terminal Server’s IP address and connect to the Terminal Server.
You are now ready to start configuring the Terminal Server using SNMP.
Using the SNMP MIB
After you have successfully connected to the Terminal Server through your SNMP Management tool
or MIB browser, expand the
BLACKBOX-Terminal-Server-MIB
folder to see the Terminal Server’s
parameter folders.The first variable in each folder is the
Status
variable, for example,
serviceStatus
.
When you perform a
GET
on this variable, one of the following values will be returned:
z
1
—Indicates that the container folder is active with no changes.
z
2
—Indicates that the container folder is active with change(s).
Once you have completed setting the variables in a folder, you will want to submit your changes to
the Terminal Server. To do this, set the
Status
variable to
4
. If you want to discard the changes, set
the
Status
variable to
6
.
z
4
—Indicates that the changes in the container folder are to be submitted to the Terminal Server.
z
6
—Indicates that the changes in the container folder are to be discarded.
If you want to save all the changes that have been submitted to the Terminal Server, you need to
expand the
adminInfo
container folder and
SET
the
adminFunction
to
1
to write to FLASH. To
make the configuration changes take effect,
SET
the
adminFunction
to
3
to reboot the Terminal
Server.
Note:
You need to have the following MIBs installed in your SNMP manager (these are
usually part of the standard SNMP client/MIB browser):
z
SNMPv2-SMI
z
SNMPv2-TC
z
IPV6-TC
