SNMP enables managing and monitoring of the MCU status by external
managing systems, such as HP OpenView or through web applications.
The RMX's implementation of SNMPv3 is FIPS 140 compliant.
MIBs are a collection of definitions, which define the properties of the
managed object within the device to be managed. Every managed device
keeps a database of values for each of the definitions written in the MIB.
The SNMP systems poll the MCU according to the MIB definitions.
The MCU is able to send Traps to different managers. Traps are messages
that are sent by the MCU to the SNMP Manager when an event such as
MCU Reset occurs.
Guidelines
• Version 1, Version 2 and Version 3 traps are supported.
• When SNMPv3 is selected only SNMPv3 Queries and Traps receive
responses.
• A mixture of Version 1, Version 2 and Version 3 traps is not permitted.
The H.341 standard defines the MIBs that H.320 and H.323 MCUs must
comply with. In addition, other MIBs should also be supported, such as
MIB-II and the ENTITY MIB, which are common to all network entities.
