The ME supports remote management access using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is the Internet standard remote management protocol for network devices. Running a remote SNMP application (the SNMP manager) from a PC or workstation, you can communicate with the SNMP component on ME (the SNMP agent) to retrieve information about manageable objects on the appliance as well as edit the appliance configuration settings.
The ME imports into the enterprise MIB (Enterprise MIB objects: cxc.mib):
SNMPv1-SMI
SNMPv2-TC
Standard MIB-II objects (RFC 1213-MIB)
And supports:
GET, GETNEXT, and SET requests
TRAP commands.
For a more detailed description of SNMP, see the Net-Net 2600 – System Administration Guide.
Configures the SNMP protocol on the ME.
config cluster box number interface ethX ip name snmp config cluster box number interface ethX vlan number ip name snmp config box interface ethX ip name snmp config box interface ethX vlan number ip name snmp
admin: Sets the administrative state of the SNMP protocol, either enabled (running) or disabled. When disabled, you can still configure the SNMP parameters, but the settings do not become active until the admin property is set to enabled.
Default: enabled
Values: enabled | disabled
Example: set admin enabled
port: Sets the UDP port over which the system listens for SNMP messages. UDP port 161 is the known port for SNMP messages; UDP port 162 is the known port for SNMP trap messages.
Default: 161
Values: Min: 1 / Max: 65535
Example: set port 150
version: Sets the version of SNMP to run between the remote SNMP manager and the system SNMP agent; either SNMP V1 or V2C.
Default: 2c
Values: 1 | 2c
Example: set version 1
community: Sets the SNMP community string that allows the remote SNMP management system to access the ME management information and statistics. The SNMP community string is similar to a user id or password that is included with all SNMP requests. If the community string is correct, the CMS Desktop responds to the SNMP request. If the community string is incorrect, the system discards the SNMP request.
Enter the SNMP community string using up to 32 alphanumeric characters with no blank spaces.
Default: public
Example: set community private
trap-target: Sets the IP address and optional TCP port of one or more remote hosts to which the system sends SNMP traps. You can configure up to 10 remote trap destinations.
There is no default IP address setting. The default TCP port is 162 if not specified. TCP port 162 is the known port for SNMP trap messages.
Default: There is no default setting
Example: set trap-target 210.123.10.8
trap-retransmit: Specifies whether the system should continue to retransmit SNMP traps until it receives an acknowledgement from the trap target. Use the trap-reset action to send the acknowledgement. If enabled, set the interval, in minutes, between retransmissions.
Default: disabled Values: enabled minutes | disabled
Example: set trap-retransmit enabled 30
trap-filter: Specifies which categories of SNMP traps the system sends to the remote host(s) configured with the trap-target property. You can set as many of the pre-configured trap categories as necessary. If you do not set any trap filters, the system sends all traps. Use the show trap-categories command to list the possible trap types in each category.
Default: There is no default setting
Values: generic | csta | dos | sip | system | tls
Example: set trap-filter sip
