Configuration using SNMP
General
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP V.1 as specified in RFC 1157) allows
monitoring and configuration of the devices on a network from a single central instance.
This instance is commonly termed the “manager” while the devices become “agents”.
The structure permitted for SNMP information exchange is relatively simple. A manager
can access all SNMP-capable devices and services (agents) on the network. The access
rights are controlled via “communities”.
SNMP V.1 has only a very limited set of commands at its disposal, as the table below
shows:
These commands can be used for central monitoring and configuration of SNMP-capable
devices on a network. The SNMP capabilities of the agents are specified in so-called
MIBs = Management Information Bases.
The firmware of ELSA routers includes an implementation for an SNMP V.1 agent (in
accordance with RFC 1157). A part of MIB-2 and a private MIB, included in the product
as a separate file, are supported. This MIB must be loaded and translated by an SNMP
manager (HP OpenView, for example) to allow you to manage a router completely using
SNMP. All menus and parameters of the remote configuration will then be available to
you on a single branch of the SNMP management tree:
iso/org/dod/internet/private/enterprises/elsa/isdn-devices/isdn-router/...
or 1.3.6.1.4.1.2356.400.1...
Accessing tables and parameters using SNMP
Any of the tables and parameters can be read and modified as necessary via the SNMP
interface. This also involves specifying in the MIB the variables which should have 'read-
only' or 'read-write' status. Commercially available SNMP managers indicate 'read-only'
and 'read-write' status using color coding.
