Ethernet Management Interface Protocols
The user PC facilitates access to Ethernet‐based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the HPOD
through three separately operated protocols:
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This non‐secure interface requires a
user‐supplied Network Management System (NMS) and a user‐supplied Management
Information Base (MIB) File Browser.
•
Telnet Interface. This non‐secure interface requires use of the user PC's Command‐line
interface, or a user‐supplied terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal.
•
HPOD Web Server (HTTP) Interface. This non‐secure interface requires a compatible
user‐supplied web browser such as Internet Explorer.
4.3
SNMP Interface
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet‐standard protocol for managing
devices on IP networks. An SNMP‐managed network consists of three key components:
•
The managed device. This includes the HPOD.
•
The SNMP Agent. This is the software that runs on the HPOD. The HPOD SNMP Agent
supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
•
The user‐supplied Network Management System (NMS). This is the software that runs
on the manager.
4.3.1 Management Information Base (MIB) Files
The following MIB files are associated with the HPOD:
MIB File/Name (where 'x'
is revision letter)
FW-0020546x.mib
