3.Ethernet connection (ENET) for the library (HBC card, port 2B—public port).

4.The SNMP agent is a process running on the library’s controller card.

5.MIB data can be read by v2c users; read/write access is only available to v3 users (see “Access Control” on page 134). MIB data is read by the customer through the StreamLine Library Console (see “Copying the MIB Text File” on page 136).

Note – By default, the SNMP agent is turned off and must be activated by a service representative through the Command Line Interface (CLI) port.
