SNMP Agent
Introduction
This chapter provides specific information for configuring and using the SNMP
agent within the 8300 Endpoint.
The 8300 Endpoint incorporates an Ethernet card that provides connectivity for
LAN-based management stations. The embedded TCP/IP Protocol Stack allows
remote access from both private networks and the Internet.
SNMP Configuration Parameters
To access the SNMP agent, you must have an SNMP management application,
such as HP's OpenView or Sun's NetManager
controlled by three community strings: read-access, write-access, and trap-access
(the community string sent with an SNMP trap). Configuration of these community
strings within the 8300 Endpoint is accomplished via the web browser interface
(see
The defaults for these strings are public for read-access, private for write-access,
and public for trap-access. Ensure that your SNMP management application is
configured for whatever access strings you use.
