SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) AGENT – Enabled, Disabled (Default)
SNMP provides means to monitor, collect, and analyze diagnostic information.
Enabling SNMP allows the MIB (Management Information Base) in the Viper unit to be
viewed using an external MIB browser or network management software.
Notes:
The SNMP feature key must be enabled for the SNMP agent to operate.
The Viper is compatible with SNMPv2c.
Traps – Traps (or alarms) can be automatically generated by the Viper whenever the
forward, reverse or PA power goes out of specification.
Note: To configure and enable individual traps, navigate to Setup (Advanced)Æ Alarm
Reporting.
These traps can be sent to user-specified IP addresses. To add an address to the Trap IP
List: Select “Add” and type the new IP address to be added to the read-only Trap IP list.
Click “Apply” at the bottom of the page. The “Trap IP List” section will expand downward to
show all addresses in the list.
The traps can be forwarded to all defined SNMP servers present in the Trap IP List.
To delete an address from the Trap IP List: Select “Delete” and type the IP address to be
deleted from the read-only Trap IP list. Click “Apply” at the bottom of the page. The IP
address should disappear from the Trap IP List.
