Assigning IP Addresses

To run SNMP properly, every device on your network must have a unique IP address. Use the SET DEVICE IP_ADDRESS command as shown to assign an IP address for the EMM on network 1. Note that you can set separate IP addresses for each of the individual networks on the concentrator backplane.

ONline> set device ip_address 195.36.58.27 network_1 [ENTER]

Creating a Community Table

The community table defines which SNMP stations on the network can access information from the EMM and which station(s) will receive a trap from the EMM when the EMM detects an error. For example, the following command adds a community name of NCS with IP Address195.36.58.217 to have read_write access:

ONline> set community NCS 195.36.58.217 read_write

[ENTER]

Note that community entry names are case-sensitive. For example NCS and ncs are different community names. Use the SHOW COMMUNITY command to view existing community entries.

Configuring the Alert Setting

The SET ALERT command enables or disables the feature used to send an alert to the management workstation. The following command enables the alert feature. Therefore, when a configuration change is made to the concentrator via SNMP, an alert will be sent to the management workstation.

ONline> set alert change enable

[ENTER]

Refer to the SET ALERT command in the ONline Management Commands Guide for information on the different types of alerts available through this command.
