Using the SNMP

This unit supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). You can read MIB-2 objects and write some MIB-2 objects using software such as SNMP manager software. This unit also supports the coldStart trap which occurs when the power is turned on or the unit restarts, and the Authentication failure trap which informs of an illegal access using SNMP.

Using CGI commands, you can set community name and access limitation, reading/writing right, host to send traps, and some MIB-2 objects. To allow these settings, you need Level 4 authentication (the right to open the setting pages).

1. Inquiry Commands

You can check the SNMP Agent settings using the following CGI commands.

<Method>

GET, POST <Command>

“http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inqjs=snmp (JavaScript parameter format) http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inq=snmp (standard format)

With the above inquiry, you can obtain the following setting information. The following explains the setting information using the inqjs=snmp (JavaScript parameter) format.

var sysDescr=“\“SONY Network Camera SNC-
CS3\””	...1
var sysObjectID=“1.3.6.1.4.1.122.8501”	...2
var sysLocation=“\“\””	...3
var sysContact=“\“\””	...4
var sysName=“\“\””	...5
var snmpEnableAuthenTraps=“1”	...6
var community=“public,0.0.0.0,read,1”	...7
var community=“private,192.168.0.101,write,2”	...8
var trap=“public,192.168.0.101.1”	...9

1describes the instance of “mib-2.system. sysDescr.0”. You cannot change this parameter.

2describes the instance of “mib-2.system. sysObjectID.0”. You cannot change this parameter.

3describes the instance of “mib-2.system. sysLocation.0”. This field is used to describe the information on the location of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.

4describes the instance of “mib-2.system. sysContact.0”. This field is used to describe the information on the administrator of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.

5describes the instance of “mib-2.system. sysName.0”. This field is used to describe the administration node of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.

6describes the instance of “mib-2.snmpEnable AuthenTraps.0”. This example shows when “1” (enable) is set. With this setting, a trap occurs when there is an Authentication failure. When “2” (disable) is set, no Authentication failure trap occurs.

7describes the community name and the reading/ writing attributes. This example shows the identification number “ID=1”, the community name public, and enables read from any IP address (0.0.0.0).

8describes the community name and the reading/ writing attributes, similarly to 7. This example shows the identification number ID=2, the community name “private”, and enables “read/ write” by the SNMP request packet from the host “192.168.0.101”.

9describes the host name to send a trap. This example shows the identification number “ID=1”, the community name “public”, and enables sending of traps to the host having the IP address “192.168.0.101”.

2. Setting Commands

The unit supports the following setting commands of SNMP.

<Method>

GET, POST <Command>

http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/snmpdconf.cgi? <parameter>=<value>&<parameter>=...&...

First, perform the settings of the following parameters.

1)sysLocation=<string>

Set the instance of “mib-2.system.sysLocation.0” in the <string> position. The maximum length of <string> is 255 characters.

2)sysContact=<string>

Set the instance of “mib-2.system.sysContact.0” in
