Enabling and configuring SNMP

SNMP is a protocol used to communicate management information between network management applications and KVM switch. Other SNMP managers can communicate with your KVM switch by accessing MIB-II and the public portion of the enterprise MIB. When you select the SNMP category, the web interface will retrieve the SNMP parameters from the unit.

In the SNMP category, you can enter system information and community strings. You may also designate which stations can manage the KVM switch as well as receive SNMP traps from the KVM switch. For more information on traps, see Enabling individual SNMP traps on page 65. If you enable SNMP, the unit will respond to SNMP requests over UDP port 161.

To configure general SNMP settings:

1.Click the Configure tab in the web interface, then click the SNMP category in the left column.

2.Click to enable the Enable SNMP checkbox to allow the KVM switch to respond to SNMP requests over UDP port 161.

3.Type the system’s fully qualified domain name in the Name field and a node contact person in the System section.

4.Type the Read, Write and Trap community names. These specify the community strings that must be used in SNMP actions. The Read and Write strings only apply to SNMP over UDP port 161 and act as passwords that protect access to the KVM switch. The values can be up to 64 characters in length. These fields may not be left blank.

5.Type the addresses of up to four management workstations that are allowed to manage this KVM switch in the Allowable Managers fields. Alternatively, you may leave these fields blank to allow any station to manage the KVM switch.

6.Type the addresses of up to four management workstations to which the KVM switch will send traps in the Trap Destination fields.

7.Click Save to save the settings and close the window.
