About SNMP
Tools such as TANDBERG Management Suite
(TMS) or HP OpenView may act as SNMP
Network Management Systems (NMS). They
allow you to monitor your network devices,
including the VCS, for conditions that might
require administrative attention.
The VCS offers basic support for SNMP, and
supports Version 1 and Version 2c of the
SNMP protocol. The information provided by
the VCS is defined by SNMP MIB-2 and is:
system uptime
•
system name
•
location
•
contact.
•
To allow the VCS to be monitored by an SNMP
NMS, you must enable SNMP on the VCS and
provide the name of the
SNMP community
within which it resides. You may optionally
provide the name of a
System contact
and the
physical
Location
of the system for reference
by administrators when following up on queries.
By default, SNMP is
Enabled
with a
SNMP
community name
of
public
.
Note: the VCS does not support SNMP traps
or SNMP sets, therefore it cannot be managed
via SNMP.
To configure the VCS’s SNMP settings:
System Configuration > SNMP

You will be taken to the
SNMP
page.
