Configuration
Provisioning for SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that allows you to
manage network devices. SNMP is based on a client-server query-response mode that requires an
Ethernet connection. A manager application (software installed on a computer) is the client generating
the queries, and an agent (software on the S80) is the server generating responses. The S80 SNMP
supports traps and the MIB-II system MIB.
S80 supports SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. SNMPv3 provides additional security features not available in
SNMPv2c. In addition to the functions of SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 allows user and trapuser levels that are
based on authentication and privacy settings. The authentication algorithm is either HMAC-SHA-1-96 or
MD5, with a 20-character key. The privacy settings are based on either the CBC-DES or AES encryption
standard, with a 16-character key. All keys are uppercase.
Port 161 is the port of standard SNMP interactive communications and port 162 is the trap port.
SNMP functionality is provisioned on the S80 using the CLI command "set snmp" (see Figure 4-30).
Each alarm trap OID from the S80 represents a unique alarm.
Each container contains the following sub-info in its own OID:
•
Alarm/Event ID
•
Date&Time
•
Severity
•
Alarm/Event Description
•
Index
•
Alarm Action
•
Sequence Number
The alarm OIDs are under 1.3.6.1.4.1.9070.1.2.5.7.3.1.2.
The Alarm/Event ID element should be used to determine which alarm or event was generated. Alarm
and Event IDs are listed in Appendix A, System Messages.
Adding or Deleting a Manager IP Address
Use the "set snmp add manager" command to add a manager IP address. Use the "set snmp delete
manager" command to delete a manager IP address. The S80 will support a single manager IP address.
Example:
To add the SNMP manager IP address 192.100.100.100:
•
Type
set snmp add manager 192.100.100.100
Provisioning to Generate v2 Traps
Use the set snmp trapversion command to provision the trap version to v2.
By default, the S80 will generate v2 traps.
Example:
•
Type
set snmp trapversion 2
Provisioning to Generate v3 Traps
Use the set snmp trapversion command to provision the trap version to v3.
Example
•
Type
set snmp trapversion 3
