Ports
This GUI can monitor and send SNMP messages for a Vi2216LT Midspan. The
Midspan must remain connected to the host computer. While the SNMP is running,
the GUI will remain on the SNMP tab. To use other features of the GUI, you must
first stop the SNMP.
Figure 9: SNMP
An SNMP trap program is needed to receive and view the SNMP messages sent by
the Midspan GUI. Many of these programs can be downloaded from the internet for
free. The trap program can be running on the same computer as the Midspan GUI or
on a separate computer as long as it is connected to the same network. All of the
Midspan SNMP messages are sent UDP to port 162.
SNMP messages will be enabled on each port by checking the corresponding box. All
16 boxes are checked by default.
