Configuring SNMP
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent allows a network man-
agement station using internet protocol to obtain information from Netlink FRX4000s,
FRX6000s, and Frame Felay Modules. Access to the agent is through any IP interface,
including frame relay or X.25 ports configured for IP, and LAN interfaces.
The agent handles and (for some fields) commands from the SNMP manager
get set
to provide topology information and node status. This information is retrieved by
calling it from the Management Information Base (MIB).
FRX and FRM support parts of the Internet-standard MIB II (RFC 1213), as well as
the frame relay MIB (RFC 1315), the SDLC MIB (RFC 1747), and a Cabletron-pro-
prietary Netlink MIB. The tree structures are shown in the Netlink MIB Reference
Guide.
