environment. This section will describe how to install and configure the SNMP Agent. Refer to the
specific NMS documentation for its installation instructions.
SNMP must be configured through SFVRA-CFG. Before configuring the SNMP Agent, you must
have the following information:
• the Community Name(s) used in SNMP request messages generated by the NMS;
• the IP address of the NMS; and
• the Community Name to be used in Trap messages received by the NMS.
To properly configure the SNMP Agent on the SmartSwitch Remote Access Module, perform the
following steps:
• enable and configure IP
• enable SNMP
• configure community name information
• configure SNMP trap information (if desired)
• change MIB-2 system group objects (if desired)
For the NMS, follow its specific installation instructions. Note that the NMS you are using must also
have the latest enterprise MIB (the ih_mib.asn file) compiled on its system.
If you are using Cabletron's SPECTRUM® Element Manager™ as NMS, this enterprise MIB is
already built into the NMS software.
If you are using a non-Cabletron product for NMS, you must perform the following:
• copy the MIB file ih_mib.asn onto the NMS
• compile the new MIB
• set up NMS to monitor the SmartSwitch Remote Access Module

network. You will then select the desired SmartSwitch Remote Access Module and display the
desired MIB information. As an example, the information displayed in the dr command would be
located in the MIB structure under:
