Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows an SNMP Manager such as OpenView or
Castle Rock to be used to remotely manage the MR-S2 in an automated fashion.
The MR-S2 supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). Two types of
Management Information Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB .
MIB II is the default MIB that is used to gather generic information about the unit, such as
system 'up' time, packets sent or received on an interface, etc. MIB II is designed for only read
access, not write access. To read and write configuration parameters over SNMP requires a
private MIB . The private MIB allows parameters to be set on the Web, Terminal, or Telnet
interfaces.
The elements Object Identifiers (OIDs) of the MIB will be listed in the appendix of a revised
version of this manual. CEFD has been assigned an SNMP designator by the IEEE, which will
be found in all elements of the MR-S2's MIB.
NOTE
The MR-S2 supports configurable community strings for added security. As a security
precaution, passwords cannot be remotely queried over SNMP.
For SNMP access from a remote network via the public Internet, a VPN connection to the MR-S2
will need to be established using third-party VPN client/server access.
The default community strings for the SNMP R/W community is " private " and the R/O
community is " public ".
The assigned designator for CEFD (enterprise OID) is 1.3.6.4.1.18723.
