Chapter 9 Monitoring Your Network Topology

Configuring SNMP

SNMP is an application-layer protocol that allows an SNMP manager, such an NMS (network

management system), and an SNMP agent on the managed device to communicate. You can configure

SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3 on the Cisco ONS 15530.

The NME (network management Ethernet) ports on the active processor card, named fastethernet 0,

provide multiple simultaneous SNMP network management sessions to the current active processor. The

Cisco ONS 15530 can be fully managed by sending SNMP messages to the active processor IP address.

If a processor switchover occurs, you can access the other processor card after it reaches the active state.

For more information on processor card redundancy, see the “About CPU Switch Module Redundancy”

section on page 3-8.

Note The standby processor card does not respond to SNMP messages.

For detailed instructions on configuring SNMP and enabling SNMP trap notifications, refer to the

Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Configuration

Fundamentals Command Reference publication.

Enabling MIB Notifications

The Cisco ONS 15530 supports SMNP trap notifications through MIBs. This section describes the

following MIBs:

• Alarm threshold MIB

• APS MIB

• CDL MIB

• Optical monitor MIB

• OSCP MIB

• Patch MIB

• Physical Topology MIB

• Redundancy facility MIB

You can find the complete list of MIBs supported on the Cisco ONS 15530 and the MIB definition files

on the Cisco MIB website on Cisco.com. For more information on accessing the MIB definition files,

refer to the Cisco ONS 15530 MIB Quick Reference.
