8.2.3 SNMP interface

SNMP-based management was initially targeted for TCP/IP routers and hosts. However, the SNMP-based management approach is inherently generic so that it can be used to manage many types of systems. This approach has become increasingly popular for remote manage- ment and control solutions for various SSPA systems.

Paradise Datacom devices with Ethernet interface support the most popular SNMPv1 format (SMIv1, RFC1155), SNMP Get, SNMP GetNext and SNMP Set commands. SNMP Traps are currently unsupported.

In order to utilize SNMP protocol, the user has to enable this feature through remote serial protocol. SNMP uses the UDP fixed port 161 for sending and receiving requests.

The definition of managed objects is described in the MIB. The MIB file is available for download from the Downloads section of the company web site, www.paradisedata.com.

The Paradise Datacom MIB is a table-based MIB, and is the same for all devices. The MIB table is designed to follow the same pattern as the tables for serial protocol. For additional information about OID values, refer to Tables 8-11to 8-13.

The text values in the tables help automatic value parsing within NMS or make the values readable through an MIB browser. All text value OIDs follow the same pattern:

1.For settings or parameters with discreet values: SettingName’ValueName1=xxx, ….,ValueNamex=xxx

Example: SystemMode'1:1=0,Dual 1:1 = 1,MSwitch=2,StandAlone=255

2.For settings or parameters with continuous values:

SettingName’LowLimit..HighLimit

Example: NetworkAddress'0..255

Note: See Section 8.3 for a description of connecting to a Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA via a MIB Browser.
