SNMP Configuration Worksheets
C
Overview
This appendix provides worksheets to assist you in setting up general SNMP
configurations for your HotWire DSLAM network, such as defining communities,
enabling traps, and preventing unauthorized access to the DSLAM. Use the
worksheets (when configuring both MCC and DSL cards) to record SNMP
configuration parameters such as community names and IP addresses for
associated SNMP NMS managers for a specific card. After the worksheets are
completed, configure the SNMP agent via the HotWire DSLAM user interface.
The worksheets are based on the network model and SNMP agent configuration
theory described in this guide. For an explanation of the network model and
SNMP agent configuration theory, review Chapter 4,
Components of the Network
Model
, and Chapter 8,
SNMP Agent
. For specific information about the user
interface screens and fields, see the
HotWire DSLAM for 8540 and 8546 DSL
Cards User’s Guide.
Summarizing the General SNMP Agent
Configuration
In summary, to configure the SNMP agent:
On the SNMP Communities/Traps screen, do the following:
— Assign an SNMP NMS manager to a community by specifying the SNMP
NMS manager’s IP address to a community name.
— Configure the generation of all trap messages (except for the
Authentication Failure Trap messages, which can be enabled or disabled
independently).
— Enable or disable the generation of Authentication Failure trap
messages.
On the SNMP Security screen, you can enter the IP addresses of specific,
approved SNMP NMS managers to prevent other managers from browsing
the HotWire DSLAM network. Use this screen to prevent unauthorized
access to the DSLAM.
