Test the SNMP Connection to the Library

Use this procedure to test the SNMP connection between STA and a selected library. You should use this procedure whenever you add or modify SNMP connection information for either STA or the library. Only one library connection can be tested at a time. This process typically takes just seconds.

Note – Before performing this procedure, you must verify that the library is fully initialized. See “Verify the Library is Operational” for instructions.

1.
In the STA Navigation Bar, select Settings > SNMP Connections.

2.
In the Monitored Libraries table, select the library you want to test. Click Check/Test Connection.

The test is initiated immediately.

•
If the test is successful, an information message appears.

Click OK to dismiss the message and proceed to Step 3.

•
If the test is not successful, an error message appears. Click OK to dismiss the message. See “Troubleshoot an Unsuccessful SNMP Connection” for suggestions.

3.
Note the following updates in the Monitored Libraries table.

•
The “Library Engine ID” field indicates the unique SNMP engine ID of the library.

Note – A mismatch between the library engine ID shown here and the library engine ID specified when creating a trap recipient on the library does not affect the connection test.

•
The “Last Successful Connection” and “Last Connection Attempt” fields indicate the date and time when the connection test was completed and initiated, respectively.
•
The “Last Connection Status” field indicates “SUCCESS”.
•
The “Library Complex” field is still blank; it will be updated after you get the latest configuration data from the library.
4.
Proceed to “Get the Latest Configuration Data From the Library”.
