Configuring Workgroups Using SNMP

6.2 WORKGROUP CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES

You should have a familiarity with networking concepts and principles. In addition, a basic understanding of SNMP is helpful. SNMP Configuration information is shown on the following pages.

To configure workgroups using SNMP, proceed as follows:

Step	Action
1	Read els10-27WorkGroupCurrentCount. This will tell you if another
	workgroup can be created.
	If the value is less than 8, another workgroup can be created.
2	Read els10-27WorkGroupNextNumber. This is the next available
	index into the workgroup table.
	This number should be written to els10-27WorkGroupNumber.
3	Write the number returned from els10-27WorkGroupNextNumber
	to els10-27WorkGroupNumber.
4	Write the new workgroup name to els10-27WorkGroupName.
5	Write the list of ports to be included in the workgroup, to els10-
	27WorkGroupPorts.
6	Write a value of 3 to els10-27WorkGroupType.

When writing to the els10-27WorkGroupType entry, the following checks are made:

•If the els10-27WorkGroupNumber is less than 1 or greater then 8, the command will be aborted.

•If the els10-27WorkGroupName field is blank, the command will be aborted.

•If the els10-27WorkGroupPorts is empty, the command will be aborted.

•If the els10-27WorkGroupType field is not 3 or 4, the command will be aborted.
