The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) facilitates
the exchange of management information between network
devices.
An agent residing in the XstreamCORE takes information from
the XstreamCORE and translates it into a form compatible
with SNMP.
Consult your network administrator for further
assistance with SNMP.
SNMP Agent Setup
1. If you are not already in the XstreamVIEW™ interface,
type the IP address of your XstreamCORE in a standard
browser as found in
Using XstreamVIEW™ System
Manager, click Enter Here, type in your user name and
password, and click OK.
2. On the left-hand menu, click Remote Management.
3. The Remote Management page appears.
4. Click on the enabled radio button next to the SNMP
heading.
5. Click on the appropriate radio buttons for SNMP Traps
amd SNMP Extended Traps.
6. SNMP Traps and SNMP Extended Traps are notifications
for SNMP functions such as device transitions and device
errors.
7. Enter a SNMPv3 Username.
This username and password are separate from the
Administrator and Read-Only credentials set in the
Password
section of the manual. The SNMPv3 credentials are
only used for SNMPv3.
8.
Enter and confirm a SNMPv3 Password.
9.
Enter the IP addresses of those who should receive
messages (SNMP trap recipients) in the text boxes on the
left.
10. Select the type of message you wish each recipient to
receive from the drop down box next to each address.
11. Click Submit.
SNMP Client Setup
The SNMPv3 client configuration method will depend on your
client, but the following information will be needed:
1.
The username and password entered above in the
Remote Management page.
2.
The SNMPv3 Engine ID from the Remote Management
page.
3.
The XstreamCORE management IP address.
4.
The XstreamCORE uses AES as its SNMPv3 privacy
protocol, and SHA as its SNMPv3 authentication protocol.
SNMPv3 trap handlers will require the same
information as the client.
