Configuring for SNMP Access

Overview

Introduction

This chapter describes how to configure the access server simple network management protocol (SNMP) agent so that it can be controlled by a remote Network Management Station (NMS).

Reference

For complete information about managing SNMP on the access server, refer to the file snmp_survival.txt contained in the software installation kit. This file fully describes every SNMP-accessible variable and table in the access server. For example, the file describes:

∙What values variables can take

∙When and how variables and tables change

∙How the user interface can access variables and tables

In This Chapter

This chapter contains the following topics:

∙Supported SNMP Features

∙Configuring the Access Server for SNMP Access

∙Configuring the NMS
