Add SNMP Event Receivers Servers
You can have up to three SNMP servers to receive SNMP event notification packets. Click Add to choose a Server ID,
and set its SNMP server address, port, and the corresponding protocol version, community name, and severity level.
Remove SNMP Servers
Select the SNMP server(s) you want to delete and click Remove. The selected SNMP server(s) are deleted.
Modify SNMP Servers
Select the SNMP you want to change for the settings and then click Modify to enter the settings screen.
Send a Test SNMP Trap
Select the SNMP server(s) to which a test SNMP trap will be sent, and click SNMP. The test SNMP trap will contain
message “This trap is for testing purpose only.”
• SNMP MIB Definition
A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of information that is organized hierarchically.MIBs are accessed
using a network-management protocol such as SNMP. They are comprised of managed objects and are identified by
object identifiers.If a vendor(RAID controller) wishes to include additional device information that is not specified in a
standard MIB, then that is usually done through MIB extensions.
SNMP MIB Installation (Ex. iReasoning MIB Browser)
1. Installing the SNMP MIB Manager software on the client server.
2. Importing a copy of the MIB file in a directory which is accessible to the
management application.
(MIBs Sotre Location:\iReasoning\mibbrowser\mibs )
3. Compiling the MIB description file with the management application.
Server ID: 0 / 1 / 2
Select a server ID from the drop-down menu.
Server Address: IP Address / Domain Name
Set up the IP address or the domain name of the SNMP server.
Port : 162 (default)
Set up the port on which the SNMP server receives SNMP event notification packets.
SNMP Version: v1 (default) / v2c
Specify the SNMP version and the event notification type. Choosing v1 for SNMP trap event notification and
choosing v2c for SNMP INFORM event notification. Traps are unreliable because the receiver does not send any
acknowledgment when it receives a trap. An SNMP manager that receives an INFORM request acknowledges
the message with an SNMP response PDU. However, some SNMP applications may not support SNMPv2c.
Community Name : public (default)
Set up the community name in the event notification packets such that your SNMP applications can know how to
process it.
Severity Level: Notice (default) / Warning / Error / Fatal
Events with a severity level higher than the specified one will be sent via SNMP traps.
Note
In a redundant-controller system, both controllers send out SNMP event notification packets for one
event.
