SmartCell 6A000 and SNMP | A Client for SNMP Management |
B.3 A CLIENT FOR SNMP MANAGEMENT
Your SmartCell 6A000 must have a connection to the NMS before it can be managed. The default connection between the SmartCell 6A000 and the NMS is the SmartCell 6A000 Ethernet interface. An NMS can also manage the SmartCell 6A000 through one of its ATM ports if the SmartCell 6A000 has a client connection into a VLAN or emulated LAN.
Note that the SmartCell 6A000 itself is not reachable through ATM until a client for the switch is created and participates as a member of a VLAN or ELAN. Your NMS uses the switches client address to access and manage the switch.
To create a client for the switch, use the add IPATMClient command for VLANs, and the add LANEClient command for emulated LANs.
Use the set MyNmAddr command to tell the switch which interface to use when communicating with your NMS. For detailed information about these commands, see the SmartCell
