Netopia 4000-Series Simple Network Management Protocol Snmp V2c, Enterprise-specific Snmp Changes

9-10 Firmware User Guide

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) - V2c

The Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 includes a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent, allowing monitoring and configuration by a standard SNMP manager. Netopia Routers and IADs now support both SNMP-V1 and SNMP-V2c.

Enterprise-specific SNMP Changes

Enterprise-specific SNMP changes in Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 include restarting the device as a bridge or router, and controlling the ‘WAN changes reset immediately’ item.

Restart Item: The OID responsible for restarting the router can now tell it to startup as a router or a bridge. Note that if the device was a router and is now told to be a bridge (or vice-versa) the device will be factory defaulted.

WAN Changes take effect immediately: This item is found in the console menu and is now added as an SNMP OID. The router will reboot if the value is changed.

These changes have been added to the SNMP MIB file NETOPIA.MIB.

This MIB is available by anonymous ftp from the Netopia ftp server.

MIBs are available in a variety of formats. Load this MIB into your SNMP management software. Follow the instructions included with your SNMP manager on how to load MIBs.

The Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 supports the following management information base (MIB) documents:

■MIB II (RFC 1213)

■Interface MIB (RFC 1229)

■Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643)

■Netopia MIB

■SNMP-v2 Traps: SNMP v2 MIB (RFC1907) v2 traps only; npaV2trap.mib (Netopia-specific)

■ATM: ATM TC (RFC2514); ATM MIB (RFC2515)

■ADSL: ADSL MIB (RFC2662)

These MIBs are on the Netopia CD included with the Router. Load these MIBs into your SNMP management software in the order they are listed here. Follow the instructions included with your SNMP manager on how to load MIBs.

You can also obtain the latest updated SNMP MIBs from the Netopia anonymous FTP server.
