1.5.1 Example for Configuring a Device to Communicate with an
NM Station by Using SNMPv1
This section provides an example to describe how to configure a device to communicate with
an NM station by using SNMPv1 and how to specify the MIB objects that can be managed by
the NM station.
Networking Requirements
, two NM stations (NMS1 and NMS2) and the switch are connected
across a public network. According to the network planning, NMS2 can manage every MIB
object except HGMP on the switch, and NMS1 does not manage the switch.
On the switch, only the modules that are enabled by default are allowed to send alarms to NMS2.
This prevents an excess of unwanted alarms from being sent to NMS2. Excessive alarms can
make faults location difficult.
Equipment administrator's contact information needs to be configured on the switch. This allows
the NMS administrator to contact the equipment administrator quickly if a fault occurs.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1.
Enable the SNMP agent.
2.
Configure the switch to run SNMPv1.
3.
Configure an ACL to allow NMS2 to manage every MIB object except HGMP on the
switch.
4.
Configure the trap function to allow the switch to send alarms to NMS2.
5.
Configure the equipment administrator's contact information on the switch.
6.
Configure NMS2.
Data Preparation
