5.5 SNMP
To get detailed status information of
EMC Prof NET (19”)
SNMP
can be used. SNMP communicates via UDP (port 161) with
EMC Prof NET (19”)
.
Supported SNMP commands:
- SNMPGET:
request status information
- SNMPGETNEXT:
request the next status information
You will need a Network Management System, e.g. HP-Open
View, OpenNMS, Nagios etc., or the command line tools of
NET-SNMP to request information of
EMC Prof NET (19”)
via
SNMP.
SNMP Communities
SNMP authentifies requests by communities. The public com-
munity has to be added to SNMP-read-requests. You can see
the SNMP communites like passwords. SNMP v1 and v2c trans-
mit the communities without encryption. Therefore it is simple to
spy out these communities. We recommend to use a DMZ or IP
ACL.
MIBs
All information, that can be requested or changed, the so called
„Managed Objects“, are described in „Management Information
Bases“ (MIBs).
At least, there are so called Object Identifiers (OID) subordi-
nated to those three structures. An OID describes the location of
an information inside a MIB.
You can find more information about configuration of SNMP in
Chapter 5.3 or have a look at
