Configuration Using Snmp; General - ELSA Lancom DSL/10 Office Manual

With TFTP, other configuration commands can be performed too. The syntax is best
demonstrated with the following examples:
tftp 10.0.0.1 get readconfig file1: Reads the configuration from the device with the
K
address 10.0.0.1 and saves it as file1 in the current directory.
tftp 10.0.0.1 put file1 writeconfig: Writes the configuration from file1 to the device
K
with the address 10.0.0.1.
tftp 10.0.0.1 get dir/status/verb file2: Saves the current connection information in
K
file2.

Configuration using SNMP

General

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP V.1 as specified in RFC 1157) allows
monitoring and configuration of the devices on a network from a single central instance.
This instance is commonly termed the "manager" while the devices become "agents".
The structure permitted for SNMP information exchange is relatively simple. A manager
can access all SNMP-capable devices and services (agents) on the network. The access
rights are controlled via "communities".
SNMP V.1 has only a very limited set of commands at its disposal, as the table below
shows:
Command Target/Source
GetRequest Manager—Agent
GetNextRequest Manager—Agent
SetRequest Manager—Agent
GetResponse Agent—Manager
Trap Agent—Manager
These commands can be used for central monitoring and configuration of SNMP-capable
devices on a network. The SNMP capabilities of the agents are specified in so-called
MIBs = Management Information Bases.
The firmware of ELSA routers includes an implementation for an SNMP V.1 agent (in
accordance with RFC 1157). A part of MIB-2 and a private MIB, included in the product
as a separate file, are supported. This MIB must be loaded and translated by an SNMP
manager (HP OpenView, for example) to allow you to manage a device completely using
SNMP. All menus and parameters of the remote configuration will then be available to
you on a single branch of the SNMP management tree:
iso/org/dod/internet/private/enterprises/elsa/lancom or 1.3.6.1.4.1.2356.1.
