8.1SNMP Management
The SNMP Management screen enables you to set up access to your XL-12000S modem via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). If you are not familiar with SNMP, please consult your Network Administrator or consult SNMP reference material. We rec- ommend these books:
SNMP: A Guide to Network Management by Dr. Sidnie Feit
(McGraw Hill) and SNMP, SNMPv2, and CMIP: The Practical Guide to Network-Management Standards by William Stallings (Addison Wesley).
You must first enable SNMP from the Modem Management screen (see Section 7.2.3.4) before proceeding to set up SNMP configura- tion parameters on the SNMP screen. The XL-12000S contains an SNMPv1 agent on the modem. Tut Systems provides a proprietary SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) on a diskette for use with the XL-12000S. The modem also supports rfc-1213 (MIB II) and rfc-1493 (dot1d bridge MIB).
The SNMP screen serves two purposes:
The upper portion allows you to indicate which SNMP Network Management System (NMS) stations can manage your XL-12000S. The Community Name, NMS network address, and Privileges provide authentication for incoming requests to the modem for information and to configure the modem.
