SNMP/NetCentral Monitoring
When enabled, the Trinix SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
agent allows the Grass Valley NetCentral application to monitor the Trinix
router. The Trinix SNMP agent is supplied with the 2.2 version (and newer
versions) of the Broadlinx software. By default, the SNMP agent is dis-
abled; a hardware address (MAC) based license key must be obtained for
the agent to become active. This license can be purchased as part of the orig-
inal system or can be purchased later by contacting Grass Valley Technical
Support. The MAC address is shown in the SNMP section of the Configu-
ration Broadlinx web access display. Clicking the
Enter License Key
button
will allow the entry of the Grass Valley-supplied license key.
Because the license is stored in the NR-33000 (Broadlinx) board’s flash
memory, a new key will have to be obtained if the board is ever replaced.
However, in the case of redundant NR-33000 installations, the Primary
Broadlinx board enables SNMP on the Secondary Broadlinx board. If either
the Primary or Secondary Broadlinx board is replaced, the remaining
Broadlinx board enables SNMP on the new Broadlinx board.
NetCentral
NetCentral is a suite of software modules that can reside on one or more
computers. These modules work together to monitor and report the opera-
tional status of SNMP-enabled devices. For example, Trinix, Encore,
7500NB/WB frames, Concerto Fast Controllers, and so forth.
When the Trinix SNMP Agent is activated, it will automatically send mes-
sages, or reports the device status to the NetCentral Monitoring Station.
(Up to five Monitoring Stations are supported.) These messages are given
a Status Level ranging from “Informational” to “Critical.” The NetCentral
Monitoring Station can be configured to listen to and, depending on Status
Level, respond to these messages in a variety of ways, including:
•
Play a sound file or a computer beep.
•
Send an E-mail message to one or more addresses.
•
Send an E-mail message to pager or cell phone.
•
Run a selected program.
•
Open web browser and go to specified URL.
For example, when a Critical message is received, NetCentral can be
configured to open an Internet Explorer window and then go to the
Broadlinx web page’s Home page.
This configuration step is described in the
section.
The Trinix SNMP Agent provides support for NetCentral, but does not
include the actual NetCentral product, which is available separately. Once
the Trinix SNMP Agent is installed and configured, it can be monitored by
