SNMP Support
The Magnia SG20 contains an SNMP management agent that is capable of sending
standard SNMP v.2 alerts, and responding to SNMP agent queries with information
about the current state of the server. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
allows remote network management consoles (NMC) to query and set configuration
values on a hardware device. This enables network management staff to control and
monitor many network devices from a single location. This feature is intended for use in
large scale, managed network environments.
SNMP Agent Services
The version of SNMP supported is SNMP v.2c. The Magnia SG20 server appliance has
an SNMP Agent that will respond to configuration information queries. The SNMP Agent
on the server appliance only supports “Get” requests from the NMC. “Set” requests are
not supported. In other words, you can query device settings but not change them
through SNMP. To change settings on the Server Appliance, the device’s Administration
Website should be used.
SNMP can also alert the NMC when a system problem or specific system state is
encountered. This is accomplished through the use of SNMP traps. The SNMP agent will
send a message to the NMC when specific criteria are met.
The triggering of SNMP agent traps on the server appliance is tied in to the server’s
health monitoring feature. Most of the information available using the Magnia SG20
health monitoring system can be viewed using SNMP. Alerts sent from the Magnia SG20
