Preliminary Issues
There are several pieces of information to collect before setting up the RemotEye II
and an NMS. As a bare minimum, know the following prior to system setup:
The IP Address of the RemotEye II.
The Gateway Address of the RemotEye II.
The IP Address of the Network Management Station.
RemotEye II (Agent) Settings
Before using the RemotEye II in an SNMP environment, the RemotEye II must be
programmed to coordinate with a particular NMS.
Examining Network Pathway
Several RemotEye II parameters determine the networks available for RemotEye II
data transmission. These parameters are the IP Address, the Gateway Address, and
the MIB System Group.
The IP Address of RemotEye II must place it on the same network as the NMS. If the
two elements are not located on the same network, a gateway between the RemotEye
II and the NMS must exist.
The Gateway Address indicated in RemotEye II must identify a network device
providing access to the network of the NMS. For instruction on defining which
gateway RemotEye II uses, consult the System Group section on page 30.
The MIB System Group of RemotEye II must match that of the NMS (see the section
titled System Group on page 30 for further information). This parameter will allow an
NMS within the group to access RemotEye II data.
