SNMP Agent
8-4
8000-A2-GB21-20
November 1997
As a minimum configuration, you must do the following on the SNMP
Communities/Traps screen in order for an NMS to receive SNMP traps:
Assign an SNMP NMS manager to a R/W (Read-Write) or R/O (Read-only)
community by specifying the SNMP NMS manager’s IP address. You can
specify up to three SNMP NMS managers for each community name.
Configure the generation of trap messages by specifying E (for Enable) on
the SNMP Communities/Traps screen.
Enable/Disable the generation of authenticationFailure trap messages.
To enable the set capability, the NMS manager needs the correct Read/Write
(R/W) community name. If security is enabled, the NMS manager’s IP address
must be specified with R/W privileges on the SNMP Security screen. This applies
only to MCC or DSL card SNMP security.
Additionally, you can configure logical entities. Logical entities can be used to
provide various management populations with different levels of management
access to the HotWire DSLAM SNMP agent. These configurations provide a
system-wide view of the SNMP agent. Use the Configure SNMP Logical Entity
Table screens to configure access to logical entities. On an MCC card, logical
entities are all of the active DSL cards in the DSLAM. On DSL cards, the logical
entities are all of the active RTUs.
For detailed information about the various SNMP Agent screens mentioned in this
chapter, see Chapters 5 and 6 of the
HotWire DSLAM for 8540 and 8546 DSL
Cards User’s Guide. Also Appendix C,
SNMP Configuration Worksheets
, in this
guide provides worksheets to help you plan and record your SNMP
configurations.
NOTE:
The HotWire RTUs that operate with the 8540 DSL card do not have their
own SNMP agent. Therefore, limited SNMP support is provided by the
8540 DSL card in the DSLAM (limited support including remote system object
ID, remote system description, and remote system services).
To configure RTU information for an 8540 DSL card, use the HotWire DSLAM
user interface (RTU Config screen). On this screen, you can enter the RTU
type, system name, contact, and location. For detailed information, see the
HotWire DSLAM for 8540 and 8546 DSL Cards User’s Guide.
