SNMP

12.1 Overview

The SNMP Agent in a termination system handles requests from a remote SNMP Manager. The termination system SNMP agent supports standard SNMP community-based operations (SNMP V1/ V2c) as 'SET', 'GET' and 'TRAP'.

You need to specify the correct Read-Only Community Name on the bridge before any SNMP 'GET' operation can work. Also setup the Read/Write Community Name for SNMP 'SET' operation. The SNMP 'SET' operation can modify the settings within the termination system. SNMP 'Get' is a read-only operation used to report the requested SNMP data to SNMP manager.

You may need the accompanying proprietary MDU MIB file for some popular SNMP/MIB manager software to manage the bridge system. The termination system bridge system may also be integrated into your original SNMP management system by this MIB file.

Each SNMP manager will assign the name of the community it belongs to in its 'GET', 'SET' and 'TRAP' operations. The community name could be unique to allow set of SNMP managers to access one SNMP agent, any operation with mismatched community name will be rejected by agent. For security consideration, you should either change the factory default community name or disable SNMP function in termination system.

The default 'GET' community name of termination system is public, and default 'SET' community name is private.
