Configuring for SNMP Access
17-10
Configuring the NMS
Procedure
To configure an NMS to manage an access server using SNMP, do the following:
Step Action
1 Enter the access server management information bases (MIBs) in the NMS
database (see Supported MIB Variables in this chapter). The software
installation kit includes ASCII text files of these MIBs.
2 Enter the access server IP address, each appropriate community name, and
desired access rights in the NMS database. If the community name is
associated with an IP address, the address must be the Internet address of
this NMS. The network manager must also associate the IP address of the
access server with each such name. The exact procedure depends on the
host-type of the NMS.
3 Configure the gateways to restrict unauthorized SNMP access by users from
outside your network.
