Using
the
BB2
7030
02
as
an
SNMP
Client
(Manager)
The BB2-7030 has the ability to be an SNMP client. In “master/slave” terms, this would be the
master. Configuring the SNMP client starts with defining one or more SNMP devices that will be
queried. Then, like the other possible client functions in the BB2-7030, you set up read and write
maps. A “read map” will use SNMP Get to query the device, and a “write map” will use SNMP
Set to write to the device.
The SNMP Client configuration pages are illustrated below along with a summary of how to use
them.
Device number simply shows you where you are on the device list. Click "next" and "prev" to
scroll through the list.
Remote SNMP devices to be accessed by this device are specified here. Enter the IP address of
the remote device, a name to reference in other pages, and a default poll rate. Then
click "update".
This gateway expects to access SNMP devices via the standard port 161.
Connection status will show a non-zero error code if there is a socket error. Possible errors
include:
5 = Connection failed, unable to bind (usually means remote device not connected or not
reachable)
81 = Connection in progress (means unsuccessful connect attempt, still trying)
95 = Network is unreachable
