Carrier Access Access Navigator user manual Snmp

Introduction

SNMP

SNMP

The Access Navigator SNMP Agent is based on the SNMPv1 standard. It implements the following two industry standard specifications for the TCP/IP and DS1 interfaces, plus an Enterprise MIB developed for managing CA’s Access Bank II products:

￿￿RFC 1213 – Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets:

MIB-II

￿￿RFC 1406 – Definitions of Managed Objects for the DS1 and E1 Interface Types

The Access Navigator supports:

￿￿All mandatory objects defined in RFC 1213 for the TCP/IP network interface.

￿￿The DS1 mandatory objects in RFC 1406 Near End Configuration Group, including the Near End Current, Interval, and Total objects. The Far End Object Group is optional and is not currently supported.

The CA Enterprise MIB provides management support for Access Navigator features not included in the standard MIB (RFC 1213). It also enables remote management of CA products connected via the

T1 facility data link (FDL) to the Access Navigator (Figure 1-1). The CA Enterprise MIB supports:

￿￿Access Navigator system configuration settings including SNMP ￿￿Access Navigator interface management

￿￿DS1 management features not supported by the standard MIB ￿￿DS0 management

￿￿Remote device management

￿￿Remote crossconnect management ￿￿Remote interface settings ￿￿Remote DS1 settings ￿￿Remote DS0 settings ￿￿Remote cards and slots

The network manager can use any SNMP-compatible network management system such as SunConnect’s SunNet Manager, HP OpenView, or Castle Rock’s SNMPc to monitor and control the Access Navigator

The user connects to the SNMP agent through the 10Base-T Ethernet port. Before using the Ethernet port, the user must set the IP, mask, gateway, and NMS addresses using the RS-232 command line interface. See Provision Access Navigator on page 8-1for instructions on how to configure these addresses.
