Configuring SNMP Values

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol defined by the Internet community. All TCP/IP-type traffic is encapsulated in Ethernet frames. The EMM supports SNMP by responding to SNMP requests and generating SNMP traps. An EMM acts as an agent in an SNMP- managed environment, enabling you to configure your EMM and all modules in the concentrator through SNMP. It has a community table that can contain up to 10 IP addresses.

An IP Address entry in a community table may have one of the following attributes assigned:

read-onlyallows the specified IP address to read SNMP variables via the SNMP GET command

read-writeallows the specified IP address to read and write SNMP variables via the SNMP GET and SNMP SET commands, respectively

trap sends a trap to the specified IP address when an SNMP variable is changed

read-trapallows the specified IP address to read SNMP variables and receive traps

all (read-write, and trap) allows the specified IP address to read SNMP variables, change the variables via the SNMP SET command and receive traps whenever an SNMP variable is changed.

oldtrap access means that the IP Address you specifywill receive alerts from the EMM based on the 3Com MIB I.

read_oldtrap access means that the IP Address you specify can display information about the EMM and it will receive alerts based on the 3Com MIB I.

oldall access means that the IP Address you specify has read_write and trap access to the EMM based on the 3Com MIB I.
