8.3 Setting up SNMP Communication
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard protocol or language that Network
Management Systems (NMS or SNMP manager) use to control network devices and report information.
A typical SNMP system is often represented as one SNMP manager collecting data from several SNMP
agents or devices.
The CXC HP acts as an agent or device in an SNMP system. This section of the manual describes how
to add a new agent (the CXC HP) to an existing SNMP system. It does not cover how to set up an SNMP
manager nor does it explain how to correctly set up an SNMP system. Those topics are specific to the
SNMP management software chosen which will have its own documentation.
Figure 50: Default Ports: SNMP Manager and Agent
There are two main steps required to add a new agent to your SNMP system:
• Configure the agent with the IP address of your SNMP manager (tell the agent to send information
to the manager).
• Compile the agent's Management Information Bases (MIBs) into the manager (tell the manager
how to interpret information sent by the agent).
8.3.1 Configuring IP Address to Receive Notifications
Configuring an IP address for notifications is referred to as
Subscribing to Notification Services
. Up to
ten IP addresses can be configured. SNMP monitoring systems need to compile and install the
ALPHA-NOTIFICATION-MIB. Please refer to the user guide of the SNMP manager for this process.
From The From field is used as the source of the email and is usually
the same as the Username provided to authenticate the client to
the SMTP server. For example, Gmail requires this value to be
the email address of the account in use.
To The To field is for the destination or receiver of the email
notification. This field allows multiple email address entries
separated by commas.
