NMS login

NMS login overview

A Network Management Station (NMS) runs the SNMP client software. It offers a user-friendly interface
to facilitate network management. An agent is a program that resides in the device. It receives and
handles requests from the NMS. An NMS is a manager in an SNMP enabled network, whereas agents
are managed by the NMS. The NMS and agents exchange information through the SNMP protocol. At
present, the device supports multiple NMS programs, such as IMC.
By default, you cannot log in to the device through NMS. To enable NMS login, log in to the device via
the console port and make the configurations described in the following table.
The following table shows the configuration requirements of NMS login.

For a firewall module, you need to configure its management Ethernet interface's IP address on the
network device.
The firewall module and network device are integrated to work as one device. From the perspective of an
SNMP UDP domain-based NMS, however, the network device and firewall module are separate SNMP
agents. They have different software systems and manage their own MIB objects. To access an SNMP
agent, the NMS must get the IP address of the management interface on the agent. By default, the
firewall module does not have an IP address, so you need to specify an IP address for the firewall
module.
Follow these steps to configure the IP address of the management Ethernet interface of the firewall
module on the network device:
To do...
Enter system view
Specify the IP address of the
management Ethernet interface of
the firewall module
CAUTION:
Before configuring the IP address of the management Ethernet interface of the firewall module on the
network device, you must configure the same IP address on the firewall module. Otherwise, the NMS
cannot access the firewall module by using the IP address.
Requirements
Configure the IP address of the management Ethernet interface, and make sure
the device and the NMS can reach each other
By default, the IP address of the management Ethernet interface is
192.168.0.1/24.
Configure SNMP settings
Configure the NMS. For more information, see the manual of your NMS.
