Starting an SNMP Management Session

The final method for managing an AT-8300 Stack from a network

management station is by using an SNMP management program, such

as HP Openview. This method requires that the switch have an IP

address and subnet mask. An SNMP management program will allow

you to examine the Management Information Base (MIB) objects on the

switch. This method does not employ the AT-S25 management

interface. For instructions on using your SNMP program, refer to the

documentation that came with the program.

To manage a stack using an SNMP management program, you need to

load the stack’s MIB file, available from the Allied Telesyn web site, onto

the management station. This requires that you use a MIB compiler. To

load the MIB file onto a management station, follow the instructions

included with your MIB compiler.
