5 - Managing inSentry via SNMP

Setting SNMP parameters in inSentry If you intend to manage your inSentry/EMD
via SNMP NMS (Network Management station), you may want to customize some
of the SNMP settings (such as System Name, System Contact and System Location
and so on).
NOTE: Before using inSentry in SNMP environment, the IP address, gateway
must be configured properly. See Chapter 2 for details.

5.1 SNMP Access Control Setting

The inSentry supports SNMP protocol. You can use SNMP NMS to manage EMD
through the network. The IP address of the workstation must be entered in the
inSentry write access table to prevent unauthorized users from configuring inSentry
via HTTP or SNMP protocols.
NOTE: If you do not enter the IP address of the workstation to the Access Control
Table (via Serial Port or Telnet) or the SNMP/HTTP Access Control (via Web
Browser) in inSentry, the SNMP NMS can only view the EMD status; it will not be
able to perform any configuration on inSentry/EMD. (See Pg. 15 Access Control
Table Setting and Pg. 28 SNMP/HTTP Access Control for details.)

5.2 SNMP Trap Receivers Setting

See Pg. 36 SNMP Trap Receivers for details.

5.3 Set up SNMP Manager Software

1. Add the MIB file of inSentry in the inSentry CD-ROM to the MIB database of
the SNMP manager.
2. Search for inSentry in the network
3. To access the inSentry SNMP agent, use 'public' for the GET community
string and the Read/Write password (default is admin) for the SET
community string.
GET Community string: public
SET Community string: admin
For more information, see the MIB file on the inSentry CD-ROM.
