Configuring the NMS

Configuring the NMS

Procedure

To configure an NMS to manage an access server using SNMP, do the following:

Step Action

1Enter the access server management information bases (MIBs) in the NMS database (see Supported MIB Variables in this chapter). The software installation kit includes ASCII text files of these MIBs.

2Enter the access server IP address, each appropriate community name, and desired access rights in the NMS database.

If the community name is associated with an IP address, the address must be the Internet address of this NMS. The network manager must also associate the IP address of the access server with each such name. The exact procedure depends on the host-type of the NMS.

3Configure the gateways to restrict unauthorized SNMP access by users from outside your network.
