Configuring the 3160/3164 DSU/CSU for SNMP Management

To configure a 3160/3164 DSU/CSU for management by an SNMP management system you must,

•Select and configure the port (COM or MODEM) providing the link to the SNMP management system.

•Set the Internet Protocol (IP) address needed to access the device (either for the COM port or the MODEM port).

•Select the link layer protocol (PPP or SLIP) for the port.

•Specify the two community names that are allowed to access the device's Management Information Base (MIB).

•Configure the device to send traps to the SNMP manager, if desired.

Differences Using the Async Terminal: When SNMP is selected from the main/configuration/edit menu, the menu selection structure changes slightly from the front panel.

Specifically, the Gen selection (from the front panel) is split into two logical groups: System Options and Modem and Communication Port Options. Trap (from the front panel) appears as Trap Options on the async terminal interface. (See Figures 3-14 and 3-15)

In the SNMP System Options screen as shown in Figure 3-20, a maximum of 40 characters can be entered per field. If more than 40 characters are required, then scrolling on the line is supported. To scroll, move the cursor to the end of the line. To clear a field, select Clear. This action sets the field to a null string, A message appears requiring you to verify that a clear is intended. After executing Clear, the cursor is located at the beginning of the cleared field.

Selecting the Port

The 3160/3164 DSU/CSU supports a communications link between the DSU/CSU and an external SNMP management system or network device (e.g., router) on either the COM port or the MODEM port. Use the MODEM port when configuring devices through a dial-up modem. Use the COM port for direct connections. Either the COM or the MODEM port can be configured as the communications link, but only one port at a time can be configured as the link. The MODEM port can support either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 2400 bps. The COM port can support either synchronous or asynchronous PPP, or asynchronous SLIP at data rates of up to 19,200 bps.
