8.1 SNMP Management
The SNMP Management screen enables you to set up access to your
XL-12000S modem via Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). If you are not familiar with SNMP, please consult your
Network Administrator or consult SNMPreference material. We rec-
ommend these books:
SNMP: A Guide to Network Management by Dr. Sidnie Feit
(McGraw Hill) and SNMP,SNMPv2, and CMIP: The Practical
Guide to Network-Management Standards by William Stallings
(Addison Wesley).
You must first enable SNMPfrom the Modem Management screen
(see Section 7.2.3.4) before proceeding to set up SNMP configura-
tion parameters on the SNMP screen. The XL-12000S contains an
SNMPv1 agent on the modem. Tut Systems provides a proprietary
SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) on a diskette for use
with the XL-12000S. The modem also supports rfc-1213 (MIB II)
and rfc-1493 (dot1d bridge MIB).
The SNMP screen serves two purposes:
The upper portion allows you to indicate which SNMP Network
Management System (NMS) stations can manage your XL-12000S.
The Community Name, NMS network address, and Privileges
provide authentication for incoming requests to the modem for
information and to configure the modem.
