ADTRAN 1204002L2, TSU IQ+ user manual Snmp Management, Network Manager, Agent

Chapter 1. Introduction

FT1 remains almost exclusively an inter-exchange carrier (IXC) service. Local exchange carriers (LECs) typically do not offer FT1, so the user's proximity to the IXC's point-of-presence (POP) is key in the savings that fractional T1 offers.

SNMP MANAGEMENT

SNMP management capability is provided in-band with support for RFC 1315 (frame relay DTE MIB), RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1406 (DS1/E1 MIB), and ADTRAN Enterprise MIB. MIB files are available from ADTRAN in the support section of the ADTRAN web page at www.adtran.com. Telnet capability is also supported. For non-SNMP environments, VT-100 and front panel operation are supported.

The TSU IQ+'s embedded SNMP feature allows the unit to be accessed and controlled by a network manager in-band at the DTE or network interface, out-of-band at the control port via SLIP or async PPP, or using a LAN connection. LAN connection requires the optional ethernet card (P/N 1204005L1). This card provides a 10BaseT ethernet interface to the LAN.

The term SNMP broadly refers to the message protocols used to exchange information between the network and the managed devices, as well as to the structure of network management data bases. The three basic components of SNMP follow.

Network Manager

Control program that collects, controls, and presents data pertinent to the operation of the network devices. It resides on a network management station.

Agent

Control program that resides in each connected network device. This program responds to queries and commands from the network manager and returns requested information or invokes configuration changes initiated by the manager.

MIB

Index to the organized data within a network device. It defines the operation parameters that can be controlled or monitored.
