Prestige 1600 Universal Access Concentrator

Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.

SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:

♦Get

Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.

♦GetNext

Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.

♦Set

Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.

♦Trap

Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.

11.2Supported MIBs

The P1600 supports MIB II that is defined in RFC-1213 and RFC-1215. The P1600 can also respond with specific data from the ZyXEL private MIB (ZYXEL-MIB). The focus of the MIBs is to let administrators collect statistic data and monitor status and performance.

The only implement MIBs in P1600 as a SNMP agent. Users must implement their own GUI on SNMP platform (SNMP manager).

When the user logs in using SMT, the set-request will be ignored for the protection of data.

11.3SNMP Configuration

To configure SNMP, select option 22 from the Main Menu to open Menu 22 - SNMP Configuration as shown next. The “community” for Get, Set and Trap fields is SNMP’s terminology for password.
