Introduction

SNMP Configuration Parameters
SNMP MIBs
This chapter provides specific information for configuring and using the
SNMP agent within the WANsuite 5330.
The WANsuite 5330 incorporates an Ethernet card that provides connectivity
for LAN-based management stations. The embedded TCP/IP Protocol Stack
allows remote access from both private networks and the Internet.
To access the SNMP agent, you must have an SNMP management
application, such as HP's OpenView
agent is controlled by three community strings: read-access, write-access, and
trap-access (the community string sent with an SNMP trap). Configuration of
these community strings within the WANsuite 5330 is accomplished via the
HTTP (Web browser) interface (Chapter 3, Web Server Interface) or the
VT100 interface (Chapter 4, VT100 Interface).
The defaults for these strings are "public" for read-access, "private" for write-
access, and "public" for trap-access. Ensure that your SNMP management
application is configured for whatever access strings you use.
The WANsuite 5330 supports the following industry-standard MIB
(management information base) files:
rfc1907.mib − SNMPv2 entities (initial revision published as RFC 1450)
•
rfc1573.mib − defines the IANAifType textual convention, and thus the
•
enumerated values of the ifType object defined in MIB-II's
