25 • SNMP configuration

 

 

In the following example the NMS running on host with IP address 172.16.224.44 shall be defined as SNMP trap target. Since the NMS requires that SNMP message headers have a community of Not4evEryOne the secu- rity-name argument is set accordingly.

node(cfg)#snmp target 172.16.224.44 security-name Not4evEryOne

Using the AdventNet SNMP utilities

The AdventNet SNMP utilities are a set of cross-platform applications and applets for SNMP and Web-based network management. These utilities can be used for device, element, application and system management. The following tools are the most useful:

MibBrowser—used to view and operate on data available through a SNMP agent on a managed device

TrapViewer—used to parse and view the received traps

The AdventNet MibBrowser is a complete SNMP MibBrowser that enables the loading of MIBs, MIB brows- ing, walking a MIB tree, searching MIBs and performing all other SNMP-related functions to users.

Viewing and operating the data available through an SNMP agent on a managed device, e.g. a router, switch, hub etc., is made possible by using the MibBrowser.
