RADSL Card Configuration

Table 3-6. SNMP Options

Security (SNMP Security) A-F-A

Enables you to configure security for the RTU SNMP agent.

CAUTION: Endpoint cookies must be kept confidential.

Endpoint Cookie – Security string for endpoint. Enter up to eight alphanumeric characters (Default = nosets). This cookie replaces the RTU RW community string when SNMP SET is restricted at the RTU.

Restrict SNMP SET at RTU on Port n (n = port 1-4) – Four SNMP security features to enable or disable SNMP sets for a specific endpoint. When this field is set to Enable, the endpoint cookie will be used by both the port card and the endpoint as the RW community string. Any external SNMP SET to the RTU (including the IP Injection Tool) will be denied due to community string mismatch. Automatic updates originating from the DSL port card will be the only SNMP sets accepted by the RTU. You must disable cookie security in order to make any changes to the RTU from the IP Injection Tool or any other SNMP manager.

Logical Entities (SNMP Logical Entities) A-F-B

This screen displays information contained in the logical table of the Entity MIB. Make sure that the information you configure matches the community strings as configured on the RADSL cards. If only the RADSL card is set, the community string that the MCC card has in its entity MIB will not match.

HI (Index) – The index number of RADSL ports 1 to 4.

HT (Type) – Remote.

HLogical Descr. – Name you can assign to the RTU/customer for each port.

HRead Write Comm. – The community strings of the RTU attached to this port. It is used when the DSL system downloads configuration data to the RTU.

Communities/Traps (SNMP Communities/Traps) A-F-C

Allows you to enable the Authentication Failure Trap Mechanism, stores SNMP Community string names for the DSL card, and stores NMS host IP addresses to which the RADSL card sends trap messages.

It also lets you configure four communities with three trap destinations each, for a total of up to 12 destinations.

Authentication Failure Trap – Enable to send a trap when a SNMP request community string does not match or when the password for a Telnet session is incorrect.

Community Name – SNMP community string name. You can enter up to 32 characters, and up to four unique entries per screen. Default names are public (ro), mcc (rw),

nms (rw), nms-2 (ro).

Access – Permission that is granted for each community. ReadOnly(RO)/ReadWrite(RW)/NoAccess(NA), up to four entries per screen.

IP Address – nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. Enter NMS system host IP address.

Input Number (port) – nnn format. Enter NMS system port number. (Default = 162 for traps.)

Send Traps – Set to E to enable. Set to D to disable.
