Setting SNMP Values
If you plan to manage the Bridge Module through an SNMP workstation you must set the following attributes:
❑IP Address
❑Community Table
❑Default Gateway
❑Subnetwork Mask
❑Alerts
IP Address
To manage via SNMP, every device on your network must have a unique IP address. Use the SET DEVICE IP_ADDRESS command to assign unique IP addresses to your Bridge Module ports. The following example shows the command to assign an IP address to port 1 of the Bridge Module.
OEBM> set device ip_address_port1 195.24.25.36 | [ENTER] |
Community Table
The community table defines which SNMP stations on the network can access and/or modify information from the Bridge Module, and which station(s) will receive traps generated from the Bridge Module. Use the SET COMMUNITY command to create a community table entry. For example, the following command adds a community name of NCS with IP address 195.337.36.58 to have read_write access:
OEBM> set community NCS 195.337.36.58 read_write | [ENTER] |
You can use the SHOW COMMUNITY command to view the existing community entries.
