PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER’S MANUAL

5.5 SNMP Support

The BSF-4004 includes SNMP support, including an SNMP Agent and SNMP traps (alarms). All

SNMP queries and traps are supported either via the OMU II or a direct connection to the unit.

5.5.1.1 SNMP Traps Parameters

The BSF-4004 sends SNMP traps to user defined destination addresses.

addresses can be defined via the Axell Shell.

Shell.).

5.5.1.2 Activating and Configuring the SNMP Agent

The SNMP agent provides inventory management for hosted repeaters (on which the SNMP agent is

enabled) and a table of active alarms in the controller or fibre system for remote querying.

The SNMP Agent is responsible for responding to queries and carries out requests. The SNMP Agent

also provides the proprietary Axell MIB (AXELL-AM-MIB), accessible via any SNMP manager

(e.g. HP OpenView).

All SNMP queries to the remote are implemented via an OMU session.

To allow SNMP agent queries

• To allow SNMP queries of the OMU II – the SNMP agent must be enabled on the OMU II.

• To allow SNMP queries of the remote devices via OMU II – the SNMP agent must be enabled on

the OMU II and on the remote devices.

• Remote units configured with an IP address and connected to the communication infrastructure,

can be queried directly.
