USER’S GUIDE

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

SNMP has two basic components: the SNMP Agent, which is executed on the CyberSWITCH, and the Network Management Station (NMS), which you purchase separately for the environment. This section will describe how to install and configure the SNMP Agent. Refer to the specific NMS documentation for its installation instructions.

SNMP must be configured through CFGEDIT. Before configuring the SNMP Agent, you must have the following information:

•the Community Name(s) used in SNMP request messages generated by the NMS;

•the IP address of the NMS; and

•the Community Name to be used in Trap messages received by the NMS.

To properly configure the SNMP Agent on the CyberSWITCH, perform the following steps:

•enable and configure IP

•enable SNMP

•configure community name information

•configure SNMP trap information (if desired)

•change MIB-2 system group objects (if desired)

For the NMS, follow its specific installation instructions. Note that the NMS you are using must also have the latest enterprise MIB (the ih_mib.asn file) compiled on its system.

If you are using Cabletron’s SPECTRUM® Element Manager™ as NMS, this enterprise MIB is already built into the NMS software.

If you are using a non-Cabletron product for NMS, you must perform the following:

•copy the MIB file ih_mib.asn onto the NMS

•compile the new MIB

•set up NMS to monitor the CyberSWITCH

Refer to Configuring SNMP for background information on SNMP and details on configuring the SNMP feature.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Normally you will have a GUI NMS (graphical user interface) that will display a picture of the network. You will then select the desired CyberSWITCH and display the desired MIB information. As an example, the information displayed in the dr command would be located in the MIB structure under:
