SNMP administration elements

On the active network OAM&P server, the SNMP Administration page provides for the configuration of SNMP services. Table 3-35 describes the elements of the SNMP Administration page.

Table 3-35 SNMP Administration Elements

Element Description Data Input Notes
Configuration Mode A configuration mode that determines whether the trap configuration is applied to all servers in the system or only to a specific site.

Format: Option

Range: Global or Per-Site

Manager 1 Manager to receive SNMP traps and send requests. It could be a valid IP address or a valid hostname.
Valid IPv4, IPv6 address or a valid hostname. The port is optional, and can be specified by following the network address with a colon (:) and the port number.

Note:

IPv6 address must be encased in square brackets if the port is to be specified, for example [address]:port.

IPv4 addresses are 32 bits, represented in a dot-decimal notation like this: x.x.x.x where each x (called an octet) is a decimal value from 0 to 255. They are separated by periods. For example: 1.2.3.4 and 192.168.1.100 are valid IPv4 addresses.

IPv6 addresses are 128 bits, represented in a colon-hexadecimal notation like this: z:z:z:z:z:z:z:z where each z is a group of hexadecimal digits ranging from 0 to ffff. They are separated by colons. Leading zeros may be omitted in each group. "::" can be used (at most once) in an IPv6 address to represent a range of as many zero fields as needed to populate the address to eight fields. So the IPv6 address 2001:db8:c18:1:260:3eff:fe47:1530 can also be represented as 2001:0db8:0c18:0001:​0260:3eff:fe47:1530 and the IPv6 address ::1 is the same as 0000:0000:0000:0000:​0000:0000:0000:0001
