Step 3. SNMP Service Method
With Areca series RAID controllers, there are 2 service methods to
get SNMP: in-band Thunderbolt port and onboard NIC.
(1). Service Method-1: Using in-band Thunderbolt port (ArcHttp
proxy server)
Pay attention to these:
• Do not check mark the option: “SNMP Through PCI”.
• Make sure you have the latest driver and ArcHttp, from this URL
http://www.areca.com.tw/support/
• ArcHttp supports sending “traps” only, do not support the “get”
command.
(2). Service Method-2: Using onboard LAN port.
Pay attention to these:
• Do not check mark the option: “SNMP Through PCI”.
• Do need to fill out the “SNMP Trap Config”.
C-3-1 Using ArcHttp
The HTTP management software (Archttp) runs as a service or
daemon, and has it automatically start the proxy for all control-
lers found. This way the controller can be managed remotely
without having to sign in the server. The Archttp has also inte-
grated the ability of sending SNMP trap. Please reference the
manual Chapter 3 “ArcHttp Configuration” section to install and
setup its configuration.
To enable the controller to send the SNMP traps to client SNMP
Each RAID storage needs to have its own MIBs file. Areca provides
4 RAID storage MIBs file for users. User can request it if more con-
trollers install on one system.
Note:
1.The MIB compiler may be not installed by default with SNMP
manager.
2. Some SNMP managers have unique rule on the format of
MIB files, you may need to refer the error message to modify
the mib file to be able to met the software requirement.
