MX-2100 Communities
The SNMP agent of the MX-2100 is programmed to recognize the following
community types:
•
Read - SNMP community that has read-only authorization, i.e., the SNMP
agent will accept only
getRequest
and
getNextRequest
commands from
management stations using that community.
•
Write - SNMP community that has read-write authorization, i.e., the SNMP
agent will also accept
setRequest
commands from management stations
using that community.
•
Trap - SNMP community which the SNMP agent will send within trap
messages.
C.3 IP Environment
General
The SNMP agent of the MX-2100 can communicate either out-of-band, or
in-band:
Out-of-Band
Out-of-band communication is performed via the serial ports ‘Serial Link Internet
Protocol’ (SLIP) or Ethernet of the KCL.2 module.
In-Band
The user can select the main bandwidth allocated to management, and the
transmission and routing management protocols.
The bandwidth for management can be one of the following: 2.4, 3.2, 4.8, 9.6 or
19.2 Kbps and depends on main link speed. The user can select the bandwidth for
main link A and/or main link B.
The following are the minimum recommended management bandwidths:
•
SNMP - 9.6 kbps
•
TELNET - 4.8 kbps
•
PING - 2.4 kbps
In the transmit direction, the SNMP agent encapsulates the management messages
in frames and sends them at the selected rate through the selected main link
(KML-A or KML-B).
