This document explains the fundamentals of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and its configuration on Adtran switch engine (ASE) NetVanta 1570 Series products. Included in this guide is a brief introduction to SNMP concepts and functionality, the basic SNMP configuration steps using both the graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface (CLI), and a brief troubleshooting section.
SNMP Overview SNMP in the NetVanta 1570 The interaction between the SNMP components can be visualized using the network topology as described in Figure ® MENU MENU CANCEL SNMP Agent Public Network NetVanta 1560-48-740W SYSTEM LNK/ACT/SPD (Internet) MODE/RESET CONSOLE ® MENU CANCEL MENU...
SNMP in the NetVanta 1570 SNMP Overview Octets 1 through 4 represent the SNMP private enterprise number (assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)) for the product manufacturer. The leading bit of octet 1 (the most significant bit) will always be a 1 for a default engine ID (making the leading character in the hex string an 8).
3. Hardware and Software Requirements and Limitations SNMP features are supported on the NetVanta 1570 ASE products that are running ASE firmware 20.12-3 or later as outlined in the NetVanta ASE Switch Feature Matrix on the Adtran Support Community. 6AMCCG0018-29A...
NMS. The NetVanta 1570 can be configured using SNMP v1/v2c or SNMP v3 security. NOTE By default, SNMP is disabled on all ASE switches for security purposes. Adtran recommends configuring the ASE device with SNMP v3 security, if possible. Retrieve the ASE Product-Specific MIBs Before you begin configuration, download the MIBs you want to install on your NMS.
Configuring SNMP Using the CLI SNMP in the NetVanta 1570 Step 2: Enter Your SNMP Community Secret Next, enter your SNMP community secret and optionally specify the IP address from which the community will accept SNMP requests. There are typically two community strings defined: one intended for read only access and one intended for read/write access.
Use the snmp-server user command to add a user to the SNMP system and optionally associate a security level to the user and configure security keys. NOTE Even though the authentication and encryption fields are optional, Adtran recommends speci- fying authentication and privacy passwords for optimal security. 6AMCCG0018-29A...
Specifies the SNMP v3 security model is used. name <username> Specifies the security user name that was specified in Step 2 on page 11. Even though the authentication and encryption fields are optional, for optimal security, Adtran recommends specifying authentication and privacy passwords.
SNMP in the NetVanta 1570 Configuring SNMP Using the CLI <name> Specifies a label for the view list being created. View list names cannot exceed 32 characters in length. <OID> Specifies the MIB’s object identifier (OID). OIDs cannot exceed 255 characters in length. Place a ‘.’...
The engine ID can be found using the show snmp command. NOTE SNMPv3 requires unique engine IDs for all systems in the management domain. Adtran recom- mends using the default engine ID to ensure the uniqueness of the numbers. Problems can occur on a management network that contains duplicate engine IDs.
Page 15
SNMP in the NetVanta 1570 Configuring SNMP Using the CLI To change the engine ID, issue the snmp-server engine-id local command from Global Configuration Mode: (config)#snmp-server engine-id local <id> <id> Defines the engine ID for the system. Engine IDs are the 12-octet hexadecimal representation (24 characters using 0 through 9 and/or a through f) defining a system on the management domain.

CLI Configuration Examples SNMP in the NetVanta 1570 6. CLI Configuration Examples The following example scenarios are designed to enhance understanding of how to configure the ASE device for SNMP v1/2c and SNMP v3. NOTE The configuration parameters entered in these examples are a sample configuration only. SNMP should be configured in a manner consistent with the needs of your network.
NMS. The NetVanta 1570 can be configured using SNMP v1/v2c or SNMP v3 security. NOTE By default, SNMP is disabled on all ASE switches for security purposes. Adtran recommends configuring the ASE device with SNMP v3 security, if possible. Retrieve the ASE Product-Specific MIBs Before you begin configuration, download the MIBs you wish to install on your NMS.
Configuring SNMP Using the GUI SNMP in the NetVanta 1570 Configuring SNMP v1/v2 in the GUI NOTE Select the circular question mark icon located at the top-right hand side of the blue menu bar from any page in the GUI for detailed explanations of variables and valid character lengths for the different entries.
