SNMP Management Configuration

The SNMP Management Configuration panel is used to configure the DES-5016 for SNMP management. Leave the default values in place if you are not managing your network through SNMP.

The DES-5016 uses the standard MIB-II Management Information Base module. The MIB values can be retrieved from any SNMP based network manager. The DES-5016 supports its own proprietary enterprise as an extended MIB. The MIB can be retrieved by specifying their Object-Identity (OID). MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.

Read-only MIB variables can be constants that are programmed into the DES-5016 or variables that change while the DES-5016 is running. For example, the number and type of ports on the DES-5016 is a read-only constant. The number and type of ports is fixed. Statistics, such as the number of errors that have occurred, are read-only variables.

Read-write MIBs are usually related to user customized configurations. Examples of these are the DES-5016’s IP address, STA parameters and port status.

If you use third party vendors’ SNMP software to manage the DES-5016, a diskette listing the DES-5016’s proprietary enterprise MIB can be obtained by request. If your software provided functions to browse or modify MIB, you can get the MIB values and change them (if the MIB’s attributes permit the write option). This process can be difficult. You must know the MIB OIDs and retrieve them one by one.
