SNMP Configuration
An administrator can configure SNMP, which is needed if notifications are to be sent to an SNMP
management application.
NOTE: The Avocent ACS 6000 Enterprise MIB text file is available in the appliance at: /usr/local/mibs/ACS6000-
MIB.asn. The Avocent ACS 6000 Enterprise TRAP MIB text file is available in the appliance at: /usr/local/mibs/
ACS6000-TRAP-MIB.asn. Both files are also available at www.avocent.com.
To configure SNMP:
1. Click Network - SNMP.
2. Click the System button.
a. Enter the SysContact information (email address of the console server’s administrator, for
example,
[e-mail]).
b. Enter the SysLocation information (physical location of the console server, for example,
Cyclades_ACS6000), then click Save to go back to the SNMP screen.
3. Click Add to add a new community or v3 user.
4. Enter the community name for SNMP v1/v2 or the user name for SNMP v3 in the Name field
and enter the OID.
Remote (Right) Side
- and -
Local (Left) Side
Enter the required address or text for each of the four fields for both
Remote Side and Local Side:
ID: This is the hostname that a local system and a remote system use for
IPSec negotiation and authentication. It can be a fully qualified domain
name preceded by @. For example, [e-mail]
IP Address: The IP address of the host.
NextHop: The router through which the console server (on the left side) or
the remote host (on the right side) sends packets to the host on the other
side.
SubNet: The netmask of the subnetwork where the host resides.
Use CIDR notation. The IP number followed by a slash and the number of
‘one’ bits in the binary notation of the netmask. For example, 192.168.0.0/
24 indicates an IP address where the first 24 bits are used as the network
address. This is the same as 255.255.255.0.
RSA Key (If RSA Key is selected) For IPSec(VPN) authentication, you need to generate a public key for the
console server and find out the key used on the remote gateway. Copy and
paste for copying the RSA key from another source is supported.
Pre-Shared Secret (If Secret is
selected)
Pre-shared password between left and right users.
