SNMP monitoring and configuration

SNMP monitoring and configuration
Multiple units can be monitored and managed by using third-party standard network management tools such as HP Openview,
IBM Tivoli, SNMPc etc.

Enable SNMP

The network manager interface supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3. The unit accepts and replies to SNMPv1 packets, but since
SNMPv1 is obsolete, SNMP traps and notifications are sent in SNMPv2, SNMPv3 or both.
Note
Due to security reasons, the unit is shipped with SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 disabled. Prior to enabling SNMP, it is highly
recommended to modify SNMP community strings before enabling it.
To enable SNMP:
• Go to Security > SNMMP configuration and enable SNMPv2 or SNMPv3.
• Make sure that SNMPv2 community strings match your SNMP manager configuration.
• Make sure SNMPv3 username, authentication password, privacy password and encryption methods match your SNMP
manager configuration.
To enable traps:
• Go to Remote IPv4/IPv6 SNMP trap managers and configure the remote manager IP address.
• Make sure SNMPv3 notification username, authentication password, privacy password and encryption methods match your
SNMP trap manager configuration.
• Go to PoE MIB and enable PoE notifications to get notifications about changes in PoE port status, unit power consumption
exceeds or falls below a certain level etc.

SNMP MIBs

Several MIBs are supported by the SNMP manager.
Network MIBs - Various network MIBs, such as RFC1213 MIB-II, can be used for providing network statistics. Note that these MIBs
are not intended to be used for network configuration over SNMP.
RFC3621 - Power over Ethernet (PoE) MIB which provides various PoE capabilities. See RFC3621 PoE MIB on page 18.
Private MIB - Enhances PoE functionality beyond RFC3621 PoE MIB. See Private MIB on page 19.
RFC3621 PoE MIB
RFC3621 PoE MIB is located under the 1.3.6.1.2.1.105 SNMP MIB tree. The MIB is divided into three sections.
Port parameters - The first section handles PoE ports and provides functionality such as enable and disable ports, read port status,
class, etc. Each OiD is accessed as a two-dimensional array table.
Main PSE parameters - The second section handles the power source that provides power to a group of PoE ports. It enables
reading the total power consumption, power supply status, etc.
PoE traps - The third section enables and disables PoE traps to be sent to remote SNMP managers.
