FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 3.15 SNMP Configuration 3.15.1 General The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is one of many protocols in the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. SNMP is the protocol recommended specifically for the exchange of management information between hosts residing on IP networks. Network management allows you to monitor and control network devices remotely using conventional computer network technology.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 3.15.4 MIB Structure The MIB has an inverted tree-like structure (root over leaves), with each definition of a managed instance forming one leaf, located at the end of a branch of that tree. Each "leaf" in the MIB is reached by a unique path.
Manager. Manager configuration is required to tell the agent, who has the authority to access the SNMP via "Get" commands (read) or "Set" commands (write) and where to send "trap" messages (unsolicited messages that are usually generated by alarms in 1000EAS/X). ********************************************* CTC UNION TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.3 System The following page is an example of the 'System' screen of 1000EAS/X. There are three 'Tabs' for different setting windows. 4.3.1 Setup The 'Setup' tab contains the networking settings for IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, hostname, TFTP server IP and image upgrade filename.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.3.4 Firmware Update Occasionally, CTC Union will release new firmware for their products. If new functions are added through software modification or if programming errors are uncovered and resolved, those items will be listed in the firmware release note which is included in an 'upgrade package' along with a detailed upgrade procedure and the firmware image code.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.3.5 Date & Time The Date & Time tab provide manual setting or real time, from PC clock, or NTP network time settings with time zone adjustment from UTC time. Proper time setting is important when the device is managed via SNMP on the network.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.3.7 System Log Alarm Setting Syslog, in 1000EAS/X, can be used for security auditing (login) as well as generalized informational (link down), analysis, and debugging (loop back) messages. The syslog function of 1000EAS/X can be used to integrate log data into a central repository.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.3.9 MAC Table Use this function to view the MAC address table or to clear all dynamic table entries. 4.3.10 ICMP PING (diagnostic) PING (Packet Inter-Network Groper) is a basic Internet program that allows users to verify that a particular IP address exists and can accept requests.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.4 SNMP The SNMP setting window is divided into two tabs, one for Manager Configuration and one for Trap Configuration. 4.4.1 Manager By setting the manager's IP and community string in this window, authority is granted to the...
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.4.2 Trap & Syslog Traps are unsolicited messages issued by the SNMP agent that typically indicate some alarm condition has occurred. The Trap managers (those who receive the traps) are configured here. System log messages are sent to a special syslog server. That server’s IP address is also configured here.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.5 Local Unit Configuration 4.5.1 Fiber 1 This window tab will show current status and provide settings for the first fiber port. Parameters Fiber Speed : 1000EAS/X supports selection of fiber speed for 100Base-FX or 1000Base-Sx/Lx. Be sure to use the appropriate SFP module that supports the selected data rate.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.5.2 UTP 3 This window tab will show current status and provide settings for the first UTP port. Parameters Port Active : When disabled, this port will be completely inactive and no traffic will pass. Negotiation : This sets up the UTP port for either auto-negotiation per 802.3u or sets manual configuration mode.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.5.3 Device Status and Configuration MAC Learning : 1000EAS/X supports disabling MAC learning. The default is enabled. Pause Frame : 1000EAS/X supports 802.3x. The default is disabled. The 'Advanced Functions' for this device are detailed in Chapter 3, 3.6 Advanced Functions.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.5.4 Spanning Tree Protocol The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a link layer (OSI Layer 2) network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged LAN. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the ensuing broadcast radiation (storm).
Page 79
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual The Bridge Priority is a customizable value that you can use to influence which switch becomes the root bridge. The switch with the lowest priority, which means lowest BID, becomes the root bridge (the lower the priority value, the higher the priority). The default value for the priority is 32768 (0x8000).
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.5.5 Static 802.1Q VLAN Please refer to Chapter 3, 3.6.4 Static 802.1Q VLAN for a description of and operation of Static VLAN feature in this device and to 3.6.9 Class of Service for Class of Service settings.

FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual Step 1. Setup the VID for 1, 10, and 20 for the fiber and two UTP ports. Then, from the 'Operate' pull- down, select 'Create' and one by one setup the VID1, VID10 and VID20 static VLANs.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual Step 3. Under the VLAN Configuration heading, enable the Static 802.1Q VLAN by clicking the radio button. Click 'Apply Parameters'. 4.5.6 Storm Control A traffic storm occurs when packets flood the LAN, creating excessive traffic and degrading network performance.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.5.7 Loop Detection and Protection The new port shut down function for loop-detection allows users to enable the shutdown of a port when the loop detection probe packet is received at a port. Loop detection works by sending out broadcast packets with the source MAC address of the 1000EAS/X itself.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.5.8 Counters There are counters for OAM packets, RMON counters for transmitted and received frames, and detailed counters for each port. They can be viewed under the 'Counter' screen. The OAM counters are available for each fiber port. The "All port" will show only the total transmitted and received frames on each port.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.5.9 SFP Modern optical SFP transceivers support digital diagnostics monitoring (DD) functions according to the industry-standard SFF-8472. This optional feature in SFP is also known as digital optical monitoring (DOM) and gives the end user the ability to monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical receive power, temperature, etc.
FRM220A-1000EAS/X Operation Manual 4.6 Remote Configuration By utilizing 802.3ah Organization Specific OAM packets, 1000EAS/X is able to view the status and manage the remote device without using Layer 3 Internet Protocol. All settings are done using the same methods as the local device.
